Volkman was put on Administrative Leave again for Obama Joke

Jacob Volkmann's brand of "humor" has once again gotten him into hot water. After making a joke about giving President Obama a "glassectomy" (according to Volkmann: "where they remove the belly button and put a piece of glass in there so you can see what you're doing while your head's up your ass") in his post-fight interview, Volkmann has been put on administrative leave from his job as a high school wrestling coach at White Bear Lake High School. Volkmann made this joke after defeating Efrain Escudero by unanimous decision at UFC 141. Volkmann tweeted this earlier this evening:
Was put on administrative leave from coaching white bear lake high school wrestling for
my joke. Unethical! @ufc
This isn't the first time Volkmann has made negative comments about President Obama, as he made the infamous slapping comment in an interview with Ariel Helwani after his UFC 125 victory. He was placed on paid administrative leave after that interview as well.

As we all shake our heads at this, I'd like to leave you with Cole Miller's gem of a response:
@JacobVolkmann good for you
I commend Cole Miller for teaching us the proper way to respond to any of Jacob Volkmann's humor.
