The UT Chattanooga football program has fired assistant coach Chris Malone for his social media activity.
On Tuesday, Malone issued a since-deleted tweet in which he referred to Stacey Abrams as "Fat Albert" and told her to "enjoy the buffet."
Mocs head coach Rusty Wright called Malone's conduct "unacceptable and not any part of ... what Chattanooga Football stands for."
Malone also made claims questioning the legitimacy of this week's US Senate elections in Georgia, none of which are substantiated.
"Congratulations to the state GA and Fat Albert staceyabrams because you have truly shown America the true works of cheating in an election, again!!!" Malone wrote. "Enjoy the buffet Big Girl! You earned it!!!"
"Hope the money was good, still not governor!" he added.
Two days after Malone published the tweet, UT Chattanooga athletics announced that he "is no longer a part of the program." Mocs head coach Rusty Wright called Malone's conduct "unacceptable and not any part of what I stand for or what Chattanooga Football stands for."
The university's chancellor, Steven Angle, condemned Malone's actions in a video shared Thursday morning, calling his tweet "hateful, hurtful, and untrue."
"Coach Malone is no longer a part of this university," Angle said. "University faculty and staff are expected to lead in a way that achieves and maintains a respectful and tolerant, civil campus environment. The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga does not tolerate and unequivocally condemns discrimination and hatred in all forms."
It’s amazing what great freedoms we have like the freedom of speech.
Well, she is a fatty!
Hey hey hey!!!!
This political correctness has taken all humor from our lives. if the tweet had been against a conservative/Republican it would not have raised an eyebrow much less a firing.

Don’t call the black girls fat.
Would calling her Fat Alberta been a problem?
Did he just misgender her?
Stacy Abrams has her own zip code
The day the Constitution died. Did you realize it on 1/7/21? That was the worst day of my life.
Social media claims another one.
From 2021
Given the country's reaction, by and large, they either haven't noticed or don't care.
You mean area code...
How about Abrams tank?
That happened to me over 20 years ago. The head of employee relations came up and told me I couldn’t tell jokes anymore. Some people would get offended. I asked if I could tell a joke about a rock. She thought, and said no. Some people would think the rock was referring to them.
This needs to go to the Supreme Court and get settled once and for all.
Well it’s not like anyone on the left ever called President Trump or any of his family names. I seem to recall Samantha Bee being particularly vile to Ivanka. The left are pure evil.
