LGBT ally Chris Kluwe & Vikings reach a settlement regarding alleged discrimination

Former Minnesota Vikings punter Chris Kluwe

LGBT ally Chris Kluwe and his former employer, the Minnesota Vikings, have reportedly come to a settlement. The former Minnesota Viking punter had threatened to sue the Vikings over his claims of discrimination.

Kluwe alleged he was fired for his public support of the LGBT community and same-sex marriage.

The Associated Press reports "Kluwe vowed to sue because he was unhappy with the team's resolution of his complaint against special teams coordinator Mike Priefer for alleged anti-gay slurs."

Lawyers for the Vikings and Kluwe's legal team apparently agreed to try to come to an agreement one last time. On Friday, Kluwe and his attorneys said that an agreement was reached.

The details of the agreement will be released next week, according to Kluwe's attorney Clayton Halunen.
