Kluwe, who played for the Minnesota Vikings all his career, reacted in a bluesky position.
“Support and I am happy that the party joined to stop this,” Kluwe wrote. “However, this is what they should be doing in everything. I have said it before and I will continue to say it: we are in an existential crisis as a country. Or we will emerge as Americans or as something else.”
