What is Adam Sasser alleged to have shouted at Justin Fields ?

BEACHDAWG

If Sasser listens to rap music and has for a while, then it was poetic license, "From the A to the B to the C."

It’s just a word that has no meaning unless you personally allow it to!

I think an African-American’s response to hearing that is almost automatic and w/o much thought, at least for many. Are you saying the guy who said it gave no personal meaning to the word? Your theory is ok but I don’t think it works well in real life.

If a person has spent their life in this country and they have an IQ above 60, they understand the implications of yelling that word.

My point is that if people would stop giving that word cause to hurt them then it would go away!

I doubt it, all of us over 45 who came up in the south have known people who used the word in place of a person's name.

Any news on how this is being handled by UGA admin?

Dismissed from the team, not sure if anything else yet.

Uhh pretty much any good job would fire you if you used a racial slur in public/social media or anything else that brought clear negative attention to your company. > @BEACHDAWG said:

So weird how many of y’all try to come up with every reason why white people should be able to use the word. Why do you care so much about it? It’s really not that hard to NOT use it, and clearly the vast majority of black people are offended by it when white people use it in any context. Stop worrying about if black people can say it or not and just stop saying it.

Sorry for the young man. Hopefully he learns from his actions. UGA acted swiftly and decisively which sends the message of zero tolerance which is the best for all.

Not only that but I would think that going to a UGA Football Game in Athens you're about as likely to hear the N word as u r to hear Hot Dog, or Chili Fries no? "And if u don't like it we don't need your support anyway other than to continue to birth 4 and 5 star athletes and send them to Ole Georgia." I love the Georgia football team but as a Native Georgian I would think that this would be how disrespectful the Stanford Stadium crowd would b towards Black players, coaches and fans in general. Same Old Georgia.

Same ole troll

Browndawg, I am not sorry for Sasser because the report shows he intentionally continued with his statements after he was warned of how offensive it came across. Just think, all of this could have been avoided had he just listened and STOPPED the offensive act! The real tragedy is that we don't consider others in the midst of our failures; remorse only comes when our feet are held to the fire!

I too have made some bad choices while maturing and unfortunately my hindsight feelings were not sufficient. He will learn from this situation and become a better person just as I have grown into a better man.

My Aunt is 65, she's White, I'm Biracial. White and Native American. She works in a predominantly Black work place. They pick on her every day. She cries some nights when she gets home. So it goes both ways. Guess I'm lucky that I look White. If any race in this country has been S-h-i-t on it's Native Americans. So don't cry me a river.

So slavery, Jim Crow, that wasn't being $hit on ?
Of course native Americans were treated as sub-human as well.

Hush. Don't make me school you.

As were Irish and Italians when they first came to this country...and likely others I won't mention to avoid getting s h a t upon.

True, but neither Irish or Italians were enslaved or exterminated. Degrees ill treatment vary greatly.

some of the opinions on racial issues shared by many on this board are problematic or at least tone deaf. It's a free country and im not one to throw stones, but as a fan remember that you should try and help the program, and that a larger percentage of players and recruits are black. just something to think about regarding our fan/media culture.

Just curious how many in here did something **** when they were in college? And most likely illegal??

I fess up but in no detail since it was over 36 years ago and I don’t want the FBI snooping.

Let them look for 1 week, that won't give them time to find anything.

Lots of young people do bad things, many of them get tossed out of school and/or go to jail too.

I don't see moral issues through a football lens, at least I try to separate the 2.
