“Our football program has a clear set of standards,” Wright said in a statement. “These standards include respect for others. It is a message that our players hear daily. It is a standard that I will not give up. What has been posted on social media by a member of my staff is unacceptable and it is not any part of what I endorse or what Chattanooga Football stands for. Greater than football and as youth leaders we have to set this example, first and foremost. However, immediately, this individual is no longer part of my crew. “
“The sentiments in this position do not represent the values of our football program, our athletics department, or our university,” added Wharton.
