UGA baseball player Adam Sasser dismissed from team amid allegations of racial slurs

A Georgia Bulldogs baseball player who allegedly shouted racist remarks during Saturday's football game has been dismissed from the team, the school announced Wednesday.

Adam Sasser, who played first base and was one of the Bulldogs' top hitters, was alleged to have shouted racist language at Georgia quarterback Justin Fields in a Facebook post made by another student, Klarisa Gulebian, a third-year animal science major from Lawrenceville, Georgia.

According to Gulebian, she and several friends were sitting near Sasser at Saturday's game against Tennessee. She'd left to take a phone call during the fourth quarter of the game, and she returned to a large disturbance involving her friends, Africa Buggs and Sierra Buckner, along with several other students.
