阿拉巴马州的碳山。一位有争议的阿拉巴马市长在发表了对阿拉巴马大学足球队支持黑人生活运动的诋毁性评论后辞职。
据新闻媒体报道，炭山市长马克·钱伯斯于周六向市政府职员递交了辞职信。伯明翰城外约2000人的市议会尚未批准，但将于周三召开紧急会议。
周六，钱伯斯在脸书上发帖称，由于阿拉巴马州足球队和主教练尼克·萨班的“抱歉”政治观点，他正在出售他们的照片。他说“我认为大势已去。”
在阿拉巴马足球队分享的一段视频中，萨班和球员们阅读了深红色浪潮进攻型前锋亚历克斯·莱瑟伍德的一篇文章，他写道:“所有的生命都不重要，直到黑人的生命变得重要。”
这位小镇镇长去年曾因在社交媒体上抱怨“婴儿杀手”和“社会主义者”而面临审查，他说“同性恋者给我们上道德课”和“易装癖者给我们上人类生物学课”。
钱伯斯写道:“改变现状的唯一方法就是将问题解决掉。”
钱伯斯起初否认了这一评论，但后来道歉了。两名镇议会成员后来辞职，据说是因为他们不想和他的评论扯上关系。
Alabama mayor resigns after post on Crimson Tide's BLM video
CARBON HILL, Ala. -- A controversial Alabama mayor has resigned after posting disparaging comments about the University of Alabama football team voicing its support for the Black Lives Matter movement.
Carbon Hill Mayor Mark Chambers submitted his resignation letter to the city clerk on Saturday, news outlets reported. The council in the city of about 2,000 people outside Birmingham hasn't approved it yet, but an emergency meeting will be held Wednesday.
A Facebook post from Chambers Saturday, said he was selling his photos of of the Alabama football team and head coach Nick Saban because of their “sorry" political views. He said “the Tide is done in my opinion.”
In a video shared by Alabama football, Saban and players read an essay by Crimson Tide offensive lineman Alex Leatherwood, who wrote, “All lives can’t matter until Black lives matter.”
The small-town mayor previously faced scrutiny last year for complaining on social media about “baby killers” and “socialists,” saying “homosexuals lecture us on morals” and “transvestites lecture us on human biology.”
Chambers wrote: “The only way to change it would be to kill the problem out.”
Chambers initially denied the comment but later apologized. Two town council members later resigned, reportedly because they didn't want to be associated with his comments.
