Chris Kluwe has some stuff to say
The former NFL punter sat down over pizza to discuss his run for Assembly District 72.
So, as some of you might know, along with writing books and running this site, I teach sports journalism at Chapman University.
And yesterday, Chris Kluwe came to my class to chat about his days as a punter at UCLA, then for the Minnesota Vikings. Chris is just a really good dude. Honest. Earnest. Refreshingly nerdy and down to earth. There are no airs, no sense of entitlement. Again—a good dude.
Before class, we sat down for pizza, and chatted about his run against the out-of-her-mind Gracey Van Der Mark, who puts the Q in QAnon and the cashews in nuts.
Here’s out conversation …


Refreshing to have an intelligent, cogent human running for office. Thanks for this interview.
Great interview! BTW, how do you come up with such comedic descriptions (ie. "puts the Q in QAnon & the cashews in nuts")?
