Texas Rangers Official Twitter Account Tweets "Fire Charlie" Following Longhorns' Blowout Loss

The heat is building around Texas Longhorns head football coach Charlie Strong following their 50-7 blowout loss to TCU on Saturday afternoon, and this isn't going to help it:

The Texas Rangers immediately offered this statement, saying they have fired the employee who sent the tweet:

"The Texas Rangers wish to apologize to the University of Texas and its head football coach Charlie Strong for the very inappropriate and insensitive message that was briefly posted on the team's twitter account this afternoon. The tweet was posted by a member of the team's social media department who was neither working for the Rangers nor was at Globe Life Park today. Effective immediately, that individual is no longer employed by the Rangers. The Rangers sincerely regret this incident and have taken the appropriate measures to make certain it does not occur in the future."
