DoT, I regularly agree with and defend you, but your stance on this is baffling. We wouldn’t have any athletic teams at UGA outside swimming and diving if everyone that used the “n” word was kicked out

What......what? You don’t understand? He said he will learn and be better for it (which is hypothetical). So I was saying it could go the other way, like:
He should not have been kicked out and because he was, maybe he ends up getting addicted to drugs and falling to rock bottom and eventually does something horrible to himself or someone else

So he hits rock bottom and gets addicted to drugs and it is UGA's fault.
Got it. You cleared that up perfectly.

He was using the word as to say “bud” or “pal” or “superior athlete” because he though Fields should be in over the white guy.
If that were the case, he would still be on the team. The kid acknowledged what he said and it wasn’t the dmx version.

is that you are the only one being racist in all of this
What a desperate plea and it makes no sense at all as None of us have a clue what race each other is, and none of us have hit another with a racist comment. Not a single person with any intellect would fall for such silly accusations.

No. It’s a hypothetical. I don’t think he shoulda been kicked out and it’s all retreaded, but if he does get addicted to drugs and do something terrible, I would blame him mostly, but certainly blame UGA for their stupidity and unnecessary punishment for a non-issue

Soooo, you are saying he was not using the word in a supportive manner calling for Fields to go into the game over the white starting QB?????

Africa Buggs, who brought Saturday’s racist encounter to the attention of school and athletic officials on Monday, insists that she encounters racism on the UGA campus “pretty much every day.”
In fact, she said a friend was subjected to racism on the way to the Tennessee game Saturday.
“She was walking by the Miller Learning Center on game day and a group of boys started shouting racial slurs to her,” Buggs said in a telephone interview. “She didn’t even go to the game. She turned around and went back home. So this happens a lot.”
Horse
shite.
DawgsOnTop34, This is the type of lying bullshite you have enabled. Enjoy it! IT won't be the last..
Thanks so much!!!!!

I can easily stay out of this thread. Easily. There aren't a lot of facts to debate with common sense.
But to say that you would blame UGA if Sasser hurts himself or others after hitting rock bottom is assinine. And I couldn't stay out of it. Assinine.

There is nothing supportive about that word, so it’s highly doubtful.

you’ve obviously never been around a sports locker room or hung out in a group that had a majority black population.....they support each other all the time with that word. The fact you don’t understand or know that, takes out all your credibility. Like I said before, you should leave the board and leave the country. You actually argued freedom of speech last page

I said I don’t think he should have gotten kicked out. I can understand why he was, in large part from a PR standpoint.
My stance is really just that I don’t think it’s ok to use that word. I don’t think it’s a hot take of any sort here, or at least it shouldn’t be.

I wish I could say I'm surprised that some here are defending Sasser and thing he should have been allowed to stay, but I'm not. Dude admitted it, apologized, and agreed that the university had no choice. Any other argument is asinine.

What Sasser did is worse than stealing from a teammate. There was no choice other than dismissal.

Someone honestly explain what’s so bad about that word.
If it’s because of slavery, last time I checked pretty much every race and ethnicity has been a slave to another at some point in history.
Yes slavery was a dark spot on American history but how long are we going to kowtow to every offended minority, especially over a word?
If it’s so offensive we need to hold the other race accountable for it as much as we do others that use it.
If a white student can be kicked out of a university for saying then so too should blacks.
End the hypocrisy and the use of the word if it’s so offensive to everyone.
I’ll even go as far to say that if you’re ok with black people being able to use it and others not - then lets end affirmative action so places can hire based on merit instead of skin color. That law in and of itself is racist so we shouldn’t allow racist laws right?
*how about the SJW that downvoted speak up and argue I’m wrong?

said Africa Buggs, a junior from Milwaukee. It's all starting to make sense. The account I saw trashing him was a girl named Taylor Busseyy.

There will be some who will say Sasser’s constitutional rights for free speech were violated, and there are courts that might agree. But putting on a uniform and competing in school colors changes things. There’s a decorum that comes with that, a standard. You’re representing a whole university, not just one American citizen gifted with unalienable rights.
So Georgia had no choice. For the good of the university, for the safety of campus and for the harmony of the athletics department, it had to part ways with Sasser.
Listen to Chip boys....he’ll guide you straight

Before I opened this thread I had a feeling that we’d have some dumb motherfricker try and make this argument. You have turned out to be that dumb motherfricker.

haven't commented on this much but my final thoughts are the same as the first ones, that he should be punished for his stupidity but not kicked off the team. It's a real shame actually and only happened due to today's hypersensitive knee-jerk society IMO.
-If sasser had called the hot dog vendor walking up the aisle a spic, would he still have been kicked off the team? Would kirby smart have been asked about it (that was utterly fricking stupid anyway to involved him)
-if fields was in and threw a pick and rayshaun hammonds yelled out to "put the honkey back in!" would have been kicked off the team? I can 1 million percent guarantee that he wouldn't. Nor would anyone have made a stink about it.
When sasser was going on his tirade I imagine you had mixed results from the people in ear shot. Some probably ignored the whole thing. Some probably shook their head. Some probably laughed. Some probably said "that dude is a dumb fricking idiot". And some people got offended. And of that small group that got offended one tweeted a paragraph about it and put it online and now he's kicked off the team. We're first of all assigning different rules to different derogatory terms. One bad word is badder than another bad word apparently. We're also doing what has been the MO of our AD for quite some time, in basically hurting ourselves to try to make us look righteous. Many DUIs and failed drug tests on the football team...suspended but still on the team. Pitcher for Oregon State molested a damn 6 year old and he leads them to the CWS, we have a guy shout out a bad word (not even to/at anyone in particular, just a drunken rambling that happened to be in a public place) that offended someone and so now he's kicked off the team? Dude's professional career could now be completely ruined nad over before it begins, all because someone was offended that one time at a football game.
I'm not justifying his actions by any means but I don't think the punishment is NEAR fitting of his "crime", which I put in quotes because he has actually committed no crime.
