The slur was him saying to someone, "Welcome back, N****"
After the video surfaced the kid apologized and took responsibility for his actions.
Was that enough? Of course not

Florida withdrew the scholarship of committed 2023 quarterback Marcus Stokes on Sunday after a controversial video of Stokes stating a racial slur surfaced via social media on Friday.
In the video, Stokes can be seen in a car and heard saying "welcome back," followed by the slur.
Per NCAA rules, universities are not allowed to publicly comment about a recruiting prospect until they have signed with the school.
"I fully accept the consequences for my actions and respect the University of Florida's decision to withdraw my scholarship offer to play football," Stokes said in a note he posted to Twitter.
Florida began to pursue Stokes during the summer after missing out on their top quarterback option in the class Jaden Rashada. The Gators were able to pull Stokes away from his previous pledge to James Franklin and the Penn State Nittany Lions during the offseason.
Stokes has accounted for 1,127 passing yards, seven touchdowns and eight interceptions on 50% completion during his senior campaign, according to MaxPreps. The Ponte Vedra (Fla.) Nease quarterback was expected to be a project piece for the Gators in the early stages of his career with hopes of developing into a contributor down the line.
He stood as the lone quarterback in the Gators' class this cycle until recently, when Rashada shockingly flipped his commitment from Miami to Florida on November 11. At that time, Stokes vocalized his desire to remain committed and offer UF a second passer for head coach Billy Napier's first full recruiting class in Gainesville.

He should have asked if he could get a table dance.

Stupid. No one cares about that word unless it gives them an opportunity to virtue signal.

I thought this pic was a meme. It isn't.

Rashada is currently committed to UF.

Meanwhile it’s repeated multiple times in the music played in the locker room. Clown world.

I’d bet good money at least 90% of the people involved in withdrawing his scholarship have said that word before. I actually think all of them probably have but at 90% I think it would be a lock of a bet.
ETA: the worst part and what that article fails to mention is he was just singing along to a rap song when he said it so in no way was it malicious [link=(I’d bet good money at least 90% of the people involved in withdrawing his scholarship have said that word before.

Not being rude or bashing the kid but maybe he could get an NIL offer with acutane
Legit business opportunity to better his future

So they hear that word non-stop in the rap music that they listen to, but they’re not allowed to say it. Idiotic.

Is Florida prepared to scour the social media accounts of all its recruits and current players for racial material, or simply the white players?

We are living in 1984. The telescreens are carried around in our pockets and Big Brother is always watching. Society has traded privacy for convenience.

How convenient for Florida that they recently picked up another commit from a significantly higher rated prospect.

Many years ago I worked as a temp Longshoreman when I took a break from college. I was able to work if there were not enough regulars to form a gang. There were few whites that did this. Many times I was the only white person on the gang. I was always treated well. I was shocked how the blacks interacted with each other. They would call each other the "n" word a hundred times a day. No one was offended. I just wonder if the person the QB referred to was offended. If he wasn't then it is a bunch of BS

I’m shocked that kids today don’t understand social media.

This is why they really withdrew the offer. Didn’t want to waste a scholarship on a backup QB in this class. Video gave them an out. That’s all.

This - dammmit - THIS
The new GOP HoR should propose a new law that makes it a FEDERAL to utter that word under ANY CIRCUMSTANCE -
ANY OFFENDER should be immediately PUT IN JAIL FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES!!!!
It is about time we get SERIOUS about this shite.
Apply the damned CIVIL RIGHTS LAWS to this thang. - THEY wanted it - SHOVE IT UP THEIR arse
Would LOVE to see them squirm while arguing that it is NOT a bad word when "certain people' say it.
It is ONLY bad when they political OPPONENTs say it.
bullshite on that -
PISSED OFF I am.
