Atheist Convention in SLC, discussion of Vikings Football speaker, link

http://freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/2014/01/02/vikings-football-is-rather-hard-to-support-now/

The convention is being held in April in SLC.

Chris Kluwe is one of the featured speakers. A lot of people are really looking forward to hearing him speak. Kluwe has gotten some negative feedback from his coach -- mostly for standing up for gay rights.

Link to the article Kluwe wrote regarding his release from the Vikings. It's an interesting read:

Story on Salon site:

As far as being fired for being a bad punter, which some people are claiming -- that may be true to some extent, but I think it is obvious that he was also fired for being an atheist and for standing up for gay rights.

I hope to see Chris Kluwe in Salt Lake City.
