An Ultimate Fighting Championship fighter has been placed on administrative leave from his job at a Minnesota high school after he insulted President Obama’s intelligence and challenged the commander in chief to a fight.
Jacob Volkmann told Fox News Radio that he is under investigation by White Bear Lake High School, where he has worked as a part-time assistant wrestling coach for three years.
“They didn’t like how I was representing the school,” he said. “They said I was representing them bad because of what I said about the president and his policies.”
Marisa Vette, the school district’s director of communications, confirmed to Fox News Radio that Volkmann is on paid leave. She refused to say if his comments about President Obama sparked the investigation.
“We have an employee who is on leave and the district is investigating in accordance with the law,” Vette said. She declined to elaborate on the investigation or any complaints that were made against Volkmann.
Volkmann’s comments came during a New Year’s Day interview after he had won a fight. A reporter asked who Volkmann would like to fight next and he replied, “Obama.”
“He’s not too bright,” Volkmann told MMA Fighting. “Someone’s got to knock some sense into that idiot.”

Priceless!
I suppose it’s been like this under other societies hurtling toward totalitarianism.
To speak ill of the king is death!
That’s nearly where we’re at today.
That is funny.
WELCOME TO FREE REPUBLIC’S MINNESOTA PING LIST!
149 MEMBERS AND GROWING...!
FREEPMAIL ME IF YOU WANT ON OR OFF THIS LIST!
Minnesota again. Palenty has got to do some real house cleaning up there. Between the liberal/leftists and the Somalis jihadists that state has become a leftist, Islamist shithole.
Oh, did you know that their Secretary of State has ties to the Minnesota Communist Party? Check out the database site www.Keywiki.org, search for Mark Ritchie, and see the evidence for yourself.
Now you know how Al Franken might have won the Senate seat from Norm Coleman.
The bad news is that Mark Dayton is the new Gov.
What is it about political wrestlers in MN?
Was he charged with racism?
Here we go.
Screw Obama.
If I ever cross his path I will yell that he is the biggest POS communist I’ve ever seen in any political office.
I’ve never seen this Volkmann kid fight, now I wish I had seen that live. If he is a grappler I’m sure he would tie our skinny little President up in a ball and submit him in the first.
I got no problem with what he said. It was probably a bad idea looking back, but I respect him for having the balls to speak his mind to that reporter.
Obamalamadingdong in the octagon against a real man, that would be worth paying $50 on PPV.
Hows that for vitriol?
...and if he had said Bush how would the events played out?
He should have said, "I'm speakin' Troof to Powah!"
Then it would have been alright.
Oh but why do we need a coach to remind us? Obama insults his
intelligence every time he tells college kids and foreigners that E Pluribus unim is our National anthem. Gee every time he speaks he insults his intelligence.
Volkmann. That doesn’t sound like a Klingon name.
That may be difficult, considering he's not the governor anymore.
It is a requirement for all Fascism's and Nationalist Socialist form of Government.
