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 big girl”
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."
