Adam Sasser, a former Georgia baseball player who was kicked off the team for using racial epithets at a Georgia football game in 2018, has filed a federal lawsuit against UGA, the state board of regents and several other parties.
Identified only as “John Doe” in court documents, Sasser alleges violations of his constitutional rights for free speech under the first and 14th amendments as well as breach of contract. He seeks undisclosed “compensatory and punitive damages” for loss of income and employment opportunities as a result of UGA’s actions.
I wonder if they’ll make Justin Fields testify.
Oooh. I hope so.

Senator, I don’t know if Van Halen was your particular cup of tea, but if you liked them or loved them (as I do), could you do a musical post tomorrow honoring rock guitar god and virtuoso Eddie Van Halen? I’m crushed by today’s news. I’m gonna go drink scotch and listen to Eruption over and over again.

I was 16 when “1984” came out. I’ve always been a fan but that one, getting wheels and freedom about the same time? Killer. Except for “Jump” which is terrible.
Favorite VH song ever? “Beautiful Girls”, at the moment.

That’s a bold strategy, Adam. I’m not sure that’s going to help you with your image rehab and getting your reputation or baseball career back, but go for it. Let us know how it goes. I hope you’ve saved a little to cover UGA’s attorney fees on this one, because I think you may end up being asked to pay them.

Forget constitutional rights Add in a little loss of consortium and it’s back to bring a winner.
No one can lose a lawsuit over that I’m told!
