   An offensive line coach from the University of Tennessee-   
   Chattanooga (UTC) was fired after his now-deleted tweet mocking   
   Georgia politician and grassroots organizer Stacey Abrams made   
   rounds on social media.   
      
   Following the win of Democrats Rev. Raphael Warnock and Jon   
   Ossoff in the recent Senate runoff elections in Georgia, Chris   
   Malone tweeted that Abrams has once again cheated in the   
   elections and called her “Fat Albert.”   
      
   Abrams is widely recognized for her role in strengthening the   
   Democratic coalition in Georgia, which was key to winning the   
   2020 presidential election. She endorsed both Warnock and   
   Ossoff, whose victories have handed the US Senate back to the   
   Democrats.   
      
   Statements From UTC Officials   
   UTC Chancellor Steve Angle denounced Malone’s actions and   
   confirmed the coach’s departure from the university in a video   
   posted on Thursday. Angle said that the tweet was “hateful,   
   hurtful and untrue,” especially since the school expects its   
   faculty members to be respectful and civil.   
      
   “The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga does not tolerate   
   and unequivocally condemns discrimination and hatred of all   
   forms,” the chancellor said.   
      
   UTC Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics Mark Wharton and   
   UTC Head Football Coach Rusty Wright also issued statements that   
   described the assistant coach’s words as “appalling” and   
   “unacceptable.” Both men emphasized that such sentiments have no   
   place in the UTC football program and reiterated that Malone is   
   no longer part of the team.   
      
   The Chattanooga branch of the National Association for the   
   Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) also released a statement   
   expressing their shock and disdain over Malone’s “derogatory   
   statements concerning the physical appearance of an African   
   American woman who is seeking to end voter suppression.”   
      
   Malone, who has been Tennessee-Chattanooga’s offensive line   
   coach for two years, has deleted his Twitter account and has not   
   issued a response to the university’s decision.
