Vikings P Chris Kluwe exposes the harsh realities of an NFL punter

You actually read that site or find it somewhere else? I read that site and just came here to post it when I saw it.

 

I never even looked at that section lol. I just read the comics and tales from the trenches.

 

Hooray r/nfl!

 

Kluwe actually frequents Reddit. If you hang out around r/nfl you may see his posts from time to time. They are usually really funny.

 

**** you chris kluwe. ****.you.

 

Chris Kluwe is a character the nfl should welcome more of... I love him and his post it notes.

 

I hope he never catastrophically tears his ACL

 

You should follow brandon McCarthy's wife....she is pure genius!

 

he probably has it and his foot insured for $10 million.

 

Doubtful. By the time guys make it to the NFL they don't really do the insurance thing as much as the college guys.

Why? Players don't hit as hard in the NFL?

 

It's not that. It's just that typically once a player gets to the NFL and have collected a paycheck or series of paychecks they don't worry about taking out insurance like the young guys who have a payday waiting. I work for a company that specializes in insuring athletes and we've had many high profile guys and top ten picks as clients. It's much easier to convince a 20 year old the value of a policy that will pay them in case they never go pro then a guy who has already earned several million. I'm not saying that NFL guys don't take out these policies, it's just not as often as NCAA guys. In fact we only have one NFL client and his policy is only for if he gets hurt off the field. Also these policies often only pay if you can't ever play again, not if you miss a season. So even if Kluwe had a policy and tore his ACL he wouldn't get paid despite missing a season, only if that injury ended his career.
