Former Vikings punter Chris Kluwe was fired from his high school football coaching job following his anti-Make America Great Again speech at a California city council meeting earlier in February.
The 43-year-old Kluwe, who was arrested and charged with disturbance of an assembly after the Feb. 18 incident, revealed to TMZ that Edison High School served him termination papers on Wednesday.
During the Huntington Beach council meeting, he ranted about a library plaque and what he called “propaganda” references to the MAGA movement. “I’m bummed that I won’t get to work with the kids anymore,” Kluwe told TMZ on Friday. “They always got excited when they figured out I played in the NFL.” Kluwe told USA Today he was offered the chance to resign before his termination.

He KINDA played in the NFL :)
He was a punter, so maybe he didn’t play, but he took up a roster spot.
And got close to a million a year if he wasn’t on the practice squad :)
Minimum is like 800k, I think.
Words have meaning, Actions have consequences. You’re a little old to learn these things but better late than never.
Leftists don’t understand yet that the world moved under their feet. The Democratic Party communists thought that they had a permanent lock on America and let their masks fall away and Americans were sickened by their arrogance and totalitarian behavior. We kicked the creeps to the curb and are not putting up with their antics anymore. They is why Trump is dismantling their illegal power base in the D.C. bureaucracy and shutting down their pillaging of the treasury. It is going to be an awesome 4 years.
Send him to North Korea in a Make North Korea Great Again. I’m sure he’ll be a great hit.
FAFO
I agree.
And I knew they were fake tough guys after that kid shot 2 of them during those riots some years back.
That Rittenhouse kid shot them in self defense and I thought an ARMY, locked and loaded was going to descend on the area....and NOTHING happened.
If rampaging or violence on their side is met with any real resistance, they fold like lawn chair.
So I don’t see any major pushback during those 4 years...because Trump WONT WAIT this time to crush any...and they are at heart cowards.
The library plaque in the story of his arrest and firing (from NY Post/OC Register):
“On the plaque, the words “Magical,” “Alluring,” “Galvanizing,” and “Adventurous” are next to each other to spell out MAGA, and below it, appeared to be a direct reference to the political movement popularized by President Donald Trump.
“Through hope and change our nation has built back better to the golden era of Making America Great Again!” the wording reads, according to the Orange County Register.”
So, it has MAGA, “Hope and Change”, and “Build Back Better”, but the punter only got excited about the Republican one.
what a crybaby this guy is.
It wasn’t a protest it was a tantrum.
Correct.
Like all freeloading Marxist crybaby freaks.
I looked it up on Spotrac, He made $13,889,000, all of it, except $52,000 from the Vikings. He never made a Pro Bowl.
From now on, everyone needs to *not* get a Kluwe.
My brother and my dad were at our old high school to watch a basketball game. It’s a cold day and everyone has their letter jacket on.
“Jeez! Who’s that stud?” as a pudgy senior with a jacket festooned with just about every imaginable patch ambles by. My brother looks over, “Oh, that guy. Equipment manager.”
I didn’t even know weird Al Yankovic was a punter.
