() Former NFL punter Chris Kluwe said he was fired from his high school football coaching position after a MAGA plaque protest.

Kluwe, who was the coach of Edison High School in California, told USA Today that he was offered the chance to resign before losing his position.

“Just got fired from being a freshman football coach, if you want to know what MAGA does to communities.,” Kluwe wrote on BlueSky Thursday. “They don’t care about what helps people, because the school is certainly not going to find an ex-NFL player willing to coach there at that level, they only care about trying to hurt people.”

Kluwe was detained at a city council meeting in California earlier this month after an anti-Trump rant and protest centering around a critique of a plaque to be placed at the Huntington Beach Central Library.

The plaque, an ode to President Trump, has the words “Magical, Alluring, Galvanizing, Adventurous” written on it, with each word stacked underneath the other, spelling out MAGA if read from the first letter of each downward.

Kluwe, a Minnesota Vikings player from 2005 to 2012, said he was a paid coach from either 2018 or 2019.
