Chattanooga football assistant coach fired after calling Stacey Abrams 'Fat Albert' on Twitter

A Chattanooga football assistant coach no longer has his job after he disparaged Stacey Abrams on social media.

The school announced Thursday morning that Chris Malone had been fired after a Tuesday night tweet calling Abrams “Fat Albert” along with other insults because of the results of Georgia’s Senate elections. There is absolutely no evidence that any significant voter fraud took place in Georgia in either November or January. Abrams, a former Georgia state legislator and gubernatorial candidate, has led voter registration efforts in the state over the past two years.

Here’s the deleted post. Malone was the team’s offensive line coach.
