It’s essentially a word that isn’t used without the intent of racism. Any player who uses that term in public should be gone, and I bet that very few across all of uga athletics would fall victim to such a policy, so enough with the hyperbole.

Kindly illuminate for us instances where the thoughts, words, opinions, and presumed intentions of a group are policed so heavily handed as todays white male
Hypothetically, if there were a sizable portion of the population that widely endorsed a culture that glorifies drug use, violence, obstruction of law enforcement, misogyny etc while publicly advancing stereotypes about other races, would that be more reprehensible than minor crimes too?
Because if you have television, internet, or radio in your home in 2018 you sure would think this country would be a veritable utopia if all the white guys got shipped back to Ireland

It's most frequently used as an insult,sure; but not always. But even assuming it was intended as an insult - which doesn't really fit the context in which it was said - it's still a giant leap to paint Sasser as a racist.
And if you're going to divine intent by use of a single word, you'd pretty much have to concede that terms like bitch, count, fig, etc. are also intended as attacks based on sex and sexual orientation. Once you start assigning something as intangible as "intent" to insults - again, assuming it was actually used as such - then you're going to be forced to conclude that just about every insult is primarily motivated by a something improper.
