I'm not a fan of the Obama admin either, but Volkmann should have expected that he'd get some pushback from the school he coaches at when he disrespects the president on national TV.  I'm not saying that he should be punished, but it's not too surprising.

What an idiot. He got suspened from his job last time he did this crap. What made him think that these comments would have any different repercussions? Seems like any tool can learn to not touch a hot stove but Volkmann cant for whatever reason......

wonder how many in the white house say the same thing on a daily basis. punishing him for having an opinion is verging on tyranny. goodbye freedom of speech, nice knowing ya

Yeah, if he's going to get in trouble for cracking on the president, it should have at least been a funny joke.
