Christopher Madel
2014 Internal Investigation of Minnesota Vikings: In 2014, Madel, along with a former Chief Justice of the Minnesota Supreme Court looked into claims by a football player, Chris Kluwe. Chris said he was kicked out of the team because he supported gay marriage. They spent about six months talking to 31 people, checking computer files and papers, and asking for specific information from those they talked to. They even had former FBI agents at the interviews. Two football experts, 30-year NFL Player Personnel Executive Jerry Angelo and two-time Pro Bowl and 17-year NFL punter Craig Hentrich were asked to analyze Kluwe's performance during 2012 season. After all this, the Vikings stated that there wasn't enough evidence to show they attempted to discourage Kluwe from supporting marriage equality or equal rights activism.
