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."
That’s been going on for decades with these sort of social issues.
Life is not fair. It may be frustrating (it is for many issues), but different businesses and organizations have different thresholds for what they consider over the line.
And it doesn’t take away that what he did was stupid if it affected his bottom line for providing for his family. Unless of course he wrote what he did “on principal”.
I prefer “ghettopotamus”.
You could paint "Goodyear" on her A$$ and send her up.
I once tried to get around to Stacy Abrams' good side but I ran out of gas.
I guess he thought he had free speech.
Imagine how many firings there would’ve been if people with government jobs had been fired for their comments 10 times worse than that about Trump.
But if he had posted that he would like to see Trump assassinated there would be no problem.
“if the tweet had been against a conservative/Republican it would not have raised an eyebrow much less a firing.”
You mean you don’t remember all the firings of people that wrote nasty things about Trump or Bush or DeSantis...?
Neither do I.
Does this mean she is not Fat Albert or Big Girl?
That was the day the balloon went up... trouble is, almost nothing happened.
Has anybody been fired for referring to POTUS as “cheeto”?
How could he insult Fat Albert like that?
“It’s amazing what great freedoms we have like the freedom of speech.”
Not anymore we don’t have freedom of speech since the “woke jerks” took over and of course EVERYTHING OFFENDS THEM.
I’ll take “fat Marxist pig” for $50, Alex.
There’s not really any reason to point out she is fat. It’s like saying boiling water is hot or ice is cold.
I can say she’s a big stupid cow, but why? Pointing out the obvious is a waste of time.
Mo mo more!
No, she’s too slow
Physically and mentally
Bart Simpson, Director of US "Elections"
Didn't do it,
Didn't see me do it.
Can't prove I did it.
that BMI of hers is on the chart as
Morbid Obesity
Freedom of no speech...
LOL!
