HS coach suspended for calling Michelle Obama 'fat butt,' gays an abomination

A high school football coach in Alabama has been suspended for 10 days without pay for comments he made about First Lady Michelle Obama and calling gays "an abomination."

A high school football coach in Alabama has been suspended for 10 days without pay for comments he made about First Lady Michelle Obama and calling gays "an abomination." During a psychology class at Lauderdale County High School, Bob Grisham called the First Lady of the United States "fat butt Michell Obama." He suggested that she weigheds between 185-190 pounds and that she's overweight. Then, Grisham went on a tangent about the direction America is heading. He called gays "an abomination against God."

You can go tell the principal, you can call the superintendent and tell her. I don't believe in queers, I don't like queers. I don't … I don't hate them as a person but what they do is wrong, it's an abomination against God. I don't like being around queers.

Amid calls for Grisham's termination, the school board instead elected to suspend the coach and prohibit him from teaching psychology. [CBS Atlanta]
