College athlete suspended, leaves school over racist social media post

A Georgia State University student-athlete has withdrawn from school after she was suspended from the team for using a racial epithet on social media.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Natalia Martinez, 18, was temporarily removed from the soccer team after the message was posted to her Finsta - a secret version of Instagram that's typically only shared with close friends.

Martinez uses a version of the n-word in her post.

A similar Finsta post led to the expulsion of a University of Alabama student last week. Harley Barber, a native of New Jersey, was kicked out of her UA sorority and the school after a video posted to her account showed her repeatedly using the n-word and other profanities.

One would expect that if someone is intelligent enough to get into college that they would display the judgment necessary to avoid posting anything to social media that would jeopardize their enrollment in college or that might affect their careers.

...she, of course, comes from a good family and is definitely __not__ anywhere near to being like one of those “bad hombres.”

This idiot doesn’t realize that confederate flag waving hillbilly Cletus considers her to be as bad as any gangbanger based on her name alone.
