We've reached a settlement with the Vikings. Terms I can disclose as follows.

1. They will donate a substantial amount to five charities, several MN local, over the next five years.

2. They are implementing enhanced training within the entire organization, and are committed to a zero tolerance policy on homophobia.

3. The Vikings will be working to create a symposium to bring together sports and LBGTQ leaders in order to address this issue in sports.

I believe the Vikings are committed to being leaders on the subject of homophobia in sports, and will work to make significant change.

Also, I get exactly ZERO dollars from this settlement, so if you sent me a nasty message over the past months, go mainline bleach.
