The University of Georgia has dismissed first baseman Adam Sasser from its baseball team after he allegedly shouted racial slurs at one of the Bulldogs’ quarterbacks on Saturday.

The university’s athletics director, Greg McGarity, announced Sasser’s dismissal in a statement on Wednesday, days after two students said they overheard the senior infielder direct racial slurs toward backup quarterback Justin Fields. No additional details were immediately provided.

McGarity said in a previous statement that an investigation into the incident began late Monday after a third student reported the derogatory comments on a Facebook page called Overheard at UGA.

“While we are limited in what we can say about the incident at this time, I want to emphasize that we do not condone discriminatory behavior,” McGarity said. “The University’s Equal Opportunity Office thoroughly reviews all reported violations of our non-discrimination and anti-harassment policy to ensure an appropriate response.”

Sasser allegedly shouted the n-word toward Fields, according to two of the three women who complained about the incident.

“I did not expect this outcome, but I’m happy something was done,” junior Africa Buggs told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “I just hope this serves as a warning to other people that your actions have consequences no matter who you are.”

Klarissa Gulebian, who posted details of the incident on Facebook, said she was “in shock” to hear of Sasser’s dismissal from the team.

“I wasn’t sure what was going to come from this,” she told the newspaper. “At the least I expected a suspension, but I am glad that there was some action taken.”

Sasser, meanwhile, has apologized in a statement posted on Twitter and said he has spoken with Fields, claiming they are “on good terms” after that discussion.

“First and foremost, I want to apologize for my actions at the football game on Saturday,” Sasser said. “I totally understand why my actions were offensive and I am deeply sorry for any pain or distress this has caused anyone.”
