Mizzou players say they'll strike until president Tim Wolfe resigns
2015-11-08
[ESPN] A group of black players on Missouri says it will stop participating in football activities until university system president Tim Wolfe resigns.

The announcement came via Twitter on Saturday night in a post by Missouri's Legion of Black Collegians. It comes after several recent racial incidents on Missouri's campus, and with Wolfe under fire for how he's handled them.

The tweet included a photograph of 32 black men, including starting running back Russell Hansbrough.

"The athletes of color on the University of Missouri football team truly believe 'Injustice Anywhere is a threat to Justice Everywhere,'" the tweet read. "We will no longer participate in any football related activities until President Tim Wolfe resigns or is removed due to his negligence toward marginalized students' experiences. WE ARE UNITED!!!!!"

#3  "The Tigers' losing streak reached four games with a 31-13 loss to Mississippi State on Thursday night. Missouri next plays BYU on Saturday in Kansas City, Missouri."

If you're not good at what you got a scholarship to do, better try racial misdirection or learn to say: "you want fries with that?"

#2  ...Well, one way or the other, this is going to be dealt with fast. Mizzou, like most modern Div 1 schools, is an athletic program that happens to have a university. They're either going to hang Wolfe out to dry or those nice African American fellas will find themselves without scholarships. Sadly, though, I'm expecting the former.
