Football isn’t genuinely recognized as possessing colorful characters. It holds a couple of chilling ones with criminal records, and numerous two-timing ones with relationship problems that make it to the printing press, but as of yet nothing that could be constituted as amusingly colorful. It has unquestionably acquired a reputation as a thug sport, so a little playfulness surely would not hurt. One football punter might completely alter all of that if his recent interview is to be believed.
It appears that the punter for the American Football Conference team the Minnesota Vikings, Chris Kluwe, announced in a recent published interview that he loves World of Warcraft such a great deal that he might alter his identify to reflect it. In a crazy twist it turns out it wasn’t completely his idea. Apparently his teammates acknowledge his addiction to World of Warcraft (frequently gaming as long as 6 hours a day) and have presented him a World of Warcraft nickname as a joke, and he’s just considering rolling with it, whether seriously or in jest no one is sure.
Kluwe has made it known that other players have changed their real names as well, including Chad “Ocho Cinco” Johnson, who adopted the nick name “Ocho Cinco” as his new identify, but to adopt the name of a computer game would surely turn heads. If he carries out his hairbrained idea he would become Chris Warcraft, rather than Chris “Warcraft” Kluwe. He’d certainly bring in a lot of endorsement money with a name such as that!
He has been a lifelong gamer,using a controller since the early age of 4. In World of Warcraft his character represents a troll rogue, more specifically, a troll rogue on the Kil’jaeden server, if you desire to keep an eye out for him and combine two of your favorite things, sports and video gaming. The interview where Kluwe talked about his love of games was at 93xRocks.
