UT dismisses player over racist facebook posting


The University of Texas head coach Mack Brown dismissed lineman Buck Burnette after the former player posted a comment on his Facebook page.

"all the hunters gather up, we have a #$%&er in the whitehouse"

The story was reported today in "The Austin-American Statesman".

The Facebook posting has been removed, but the screen was captured and saved and can be found with a little googling. 

The coach wasted no time in dismissing the player.  He met with the athletic director and announced the dismissal shortly after hearing about the posting.

Mr. Burnette issued an apology to the public and to the team expressing his regret.  The report stated that the player was re-posting a text message he had received from someone else.  .
