Former NFL punter Chris Kluwe says he has been fired from his job as a high school football coach after his protest at a city council meeting in California.

Kluwe was arrested at the Huntington Beach city council meeting last week, at which he spoke out against the decision to erect a plaque at a local library. The plaque features the words Magical, Alluring, Galvanizing and Adventurous" and the city commission confirmed it was a reference to Maga. The former Minnesota Vikings player then made critical comments about the Trump administration before saying he would engage in the time-honored American tradition of peaceful civil disobedience" and walked on to the meeting's stage. He was arrested and charged with a misdemeanor for disrupting an assembly.
