Yeah I to must sit in another section because I sure don't hear anyone using the word. Where are you sitting that people all around you are using it?
I don't like it either, but there is a huge difference in context that it seems to me you'd have to willfully ignore to not see it.
I’ve been to many UGA games and have NEVER EVER heard that word used before... take that bull somewhere else
Well clearly you haven't been sitting near Sasser.
Can we please just get back to Georgia Football for the love of God. One thing I think we ball have in common is the love for Georgia Football so that's where our attention should be. On the team and the road ahead that will hopefully lead to another SEC CHAMPIONSHIP.
Touche
I don't understand your last sentence, I sure didn't say people around me use that word.
Furthermore we've all done and said idiotic things before so let's just let it go as Georgia's administration decides how best to move forward with regards to Sassers behavior. I'm sure the kid is feeling rotten enough and I don't feel for him at all but he's entitled to his mistakes as we all are and hopefully he'll learn from it.
Not giving anyone a pass here for that kind of behavior, because that is absolutely unacceptable, but does anyone know if alcohol played a factor in his actions?
This dude better be glad Justin didn't decide to play baseball too...……………..
Wasn't referring to you with the last question WC, asking Me3. Sorry for the unclear question.
You're thinking is wrong. Plain and simple. I've been to many games at Sanford and never heard that word. Never. I used to work field security at home games from 2004-20007 and had a lot of up-close-and-personal experiences with obnoxious fans. They might scream idiotic obscenities, but I never heard the n-word.
When you say "I would think..." that implies you have no actual experience, but you are simply assuming it happens. Is that correct? Have you been to a UGA game and heard people so casually using that word as you suggest in your statement...or are you just trying to stir that pot?
I admit the environment I grew up with in NW Georgia in the 1960s and early 70s deposited some unwanted garbage in my brain that has surfaced when angry a time or 2 over the years.
I've never just spewed language like Sasser is accused of though.
It seems remarkably inappropriate.
In this day and age of everyone quickly bringing up their phone to video everything, where's the video evidence? Not that they didn't have time if he was asked multiple times to stop. We are still innocent until proven guilty in America, aren't we?
Don't be a *******, you're guilty till popular opinion says otherwise.
Just kidding with the ******* thing, I don't know your ethnicity.
Seriously, just kidding.
Do we know the context yet?
Remember that commercial from several years ago? It was three guys (two black and one white) talking about their favorite basketball player. One black guy says "so and so is my N____" the other black guy says "so and so if MY N____", then the white guy say "Charles Barkley, that's my N____!" and the two black guy look at him like he's crazy. I wonder if that was the kind of context that was used. Still incredibly idiotic, but not intentionally racist...just **** and insensitive.
When I lived in Washington State and went to Wazzu...I did hear the N-word up there quite frequently. That was a huge culture shock because being raised in the south, I virtually never heard it.
