When A Website Commenter Swings Back
For those who visit the hilarious website Deadspin, you may be familiar with the series, Why Your Team Sucks by Drew Magary. In this series, Magary breaks down different NFL teams and explains to their fans/readers of the site, well, why their team sucks. In a recent column, it was the Vikings’ turn to feel the wrath of Magary’s keyboard. One reader, in particular, didn’t take very kindly to the piece. It was Vikings punter Chris Kluwe, and apparently he’s quite the wordsmith himself.
He submitted the following rebuttal to Deadspin, entitled, Why Your Website Sucks, By Minnesota Vikings Punter Chris Kluwe: A Rebuttal.
Enjoy:
“Some people are fans of Deadspin’s Why Your Team Sucks previews. But now the shoe’s on the other foot! Suck on this, you cocksuckers.
1. Drew Magary is a bloviating turkey tit. Let’s face it, every time Drew Magary decides to post something it’s an absolute guarantee that he’ll spend four paragraphs self-indulgently masturbating his ego with how many multi-syllable words he can fit into one sentence while making hyperbolic statements that would shame Baron von Münchausen. We get it Drew, you got high honors from the University of Phoenix Online. Now shut the fuck up so we can read something that doesn’t take five hours to finish.
2. The community of commentators gargles donkey dick. Every time I scroll down to the comments section of a Deadspin article I feel like I’ve just tuned into an episode of Sesame Street where The Count has suffered a debilitating stroke. “Plus one. Ha… ha… ha… Plus one. Ha… ha… ha… Plus one. ” What the hell are you paint-huffing work dodgers counting up to anyways? The number of times you can cram a fistful of Cheetohs into your slobbering gullet as you furiously masturbate to My Little Brony porn? The chance that you’ll die alone, sad and miserable, with only a legacy of failure and disgrace to mark all the perfectly good oxygen you wasted? Stop fucking counting. It’s giving me the creeps. Oh, and just a heads up: None of your witty comments are remotely witty. In fact, every time you post, the corpse of Samuel Clemens spins in his grave and screams, “YOU BUNCH OF STUPID FUCKS ARE RUINING AMERICA.”
3. Half of these goddamn articles are a complete waste of time. Like this. And this. And especially this. There’s absolutely no reason I should be forced to slog through this mind-numbing pageview padding when all I want to do is read about Adrian Peterson’s 15th rushing touchdown in a game, or how Christian Ponder just saved a convent full of nuns from dickzombies. You’re supposed to be reporting about sports, not some TMZ-type garbage that would make Ryan Seacrest shit himself in embarassment. Just do your fucking job right every time—it’s not that hard.
4. That stupid as fuck Kinja/u/o.i™ whatever-the-hell-it-is system just sent an entire African village into crippling drought and now they’re all dead. I hope you assholes are happy.
5. Hear it from Deadspin fans!

Your website sucks anymore. over the course of the last year, your website went from funny/sexy articles to just reaching for stories.

Get your shit togther…deadspin will be down the shitter in three yearsFrom: dekle

Good Morning, I just wanted to let you know that every time you guys play, SPRINGSTEEN OR ROCKSTAR, I turn the station. These two songs are terrible and they are NOT even country. I know this will probably not do any good but I wish you would lose these two songs, they make me sick.
Thanks, John
Thanks for tuning in. tl;dr—Go back to work you, lazy fuck.”
That, trolls, is how it’s done, but don’t get any big ideas…

Paint-huffing work dodgers may be my new favorite insult.
12 years ago at 11:47 amI guess I don’t scan the internet as much as everyone else, but the ‘My Little Brony porn” comment killed me.
12 years ago at 11:49 amI’d be mad if I was one of the least important starting positions on one of the worst teams in the league too.
12 years ago at 12:59 pmI wouldn’t be. He probably averages $15,000 for every ball he kicks in the air. Not to mention his job doesn’t require him to touch any of those lesser-thans.
12 years ago at 1:20 pmHe makes roughly $62,500 per punt.
12 years ago at 5:33 pm^Not quite. He punts the ball 70-80 times a season and makes just over $1 million per season.
12 years ago at 10:27 amHe is the highest paid punter in the NFL at ~$5mil.
12 years ago at 12:01 am7 years/$8.7 million

12 years ago at 12:06 amI stand corrected.
12 years ago at 11:44 amFucking kickers… no but seriously, nicely done.
12 years ago at 1:19 pmDrew Magary is amazing…his ‘Why the Detroit Lions suck’ piece made me want to play in traffic with a group of young deaf children…but this is great. So fucking great.
12 years ago at 1:23 pmThis has an “Ethan Albright vs John Madden” feel to it.
12 years ago at 3:39 pmBruins in the NFL getting press for their writing. I don’t know whether to be proud or pissed.
