Former NFL punter Chris Kluwe, known for speaking out on social issues during his playing career, was fired from his job as a high school football coach in California after protesting at a city council meeting. Kluwe spoke out against the decision to erect a plaque honoring the “Maga” movement, claiming it was corrupt and anti-democratic, sparking an arrest for disrupting an assembly. The high school district has not commented on the matter, but Kluwe believes his outspoken views may have contributed to his dismissal.
