I think that people still don't understand that the 1st Amendment only protects you from government retaliation. No one can tell anyone else how they should feel about any situation. Some people will be bothered by situations, some won't. In this particular case, the administration of UGA had to make a decision that is rooted on economic well being. Winning football games generates revenue, elite black athlete help you win football games, those same athletes of the future may be swayed to attend other institutions, wins start to decrease, revenue starts to decrease, UGA not happy.
So in this case, it was easier to make a statement by dismissing him, that some may see as pandering, that sends a message that we won't allow you, the black athlete, to be disrespected in that manner.

This is the correct answer folks. That guy was a dumbass for doing that and he has no one to blame for his dismissal but himself.
Some folks just seem destined to be Aholes, this one showed his at the wrong place, wrong time and he got burned. Or more accurately, he burned himself
