Missouri (football) coach Gary Pinkel tweets team pic, supports players on strike

Missouri coach Gary Pinkel shared a message of support for the Tigers' players of color that are choosing to strike until university president Tim Wolfe either resigns or is removed from his post.

"The Mizzou Family stands as one. We are united. We are behind our players," Pinkel wrote on Twitter, adding the #ConcernedStudent1950 hashtag to the message.

These Tigers started their protest on the heels of increased racial tensions that have bubbled up on Missouri's campus, most recently involving an incident on Oct. 24 when a swastika carved with smeared feces was put up on the wall of a new dormitory.

IIRC you can Dan test dog poop to see which dog left it on your yard. Probably pricy, but considering the $ spent on MO football probably worth it if you could show said fecal smear was just a smear. I don’t follow MO football, but the big problem in the state is the RAT Gov encouraging such matters. Replace him and much will prove quickly.

That is why I have never supported college sports...financing the progressive agenda.

Fire the coach and dump the athletes — give their spots to others. I would say that is the right thing to do. But it would be death politically. So my second best response would be to ignore them. Do nothing. If they want to not play, don’t play. If the coach wants to support that, support that. Just do nothing but do not quit. They are only hurting themselves.

This is all sick.

How much you want to bet that the Nazi symbol was put on their by a leftist or a black? It seems like 80+ percent of these things get done by nuts that are “the victims”. It is a weird mental issue.

Maybe he should have stood with his wife of 39 years.
His boss stuck with him through the DUI charge, too....

He needs to support ppl that stood by him over the years.

Thats all it is. The less we contribute to our problems, the better. Ultimately College sports are slave labor. You get a group of liberals benefitting from free work far beyond any benefit to the ‘worker’.

Look at the budgets of college sports programs vs the salaries of the students providing the entertainment. All that money is SJW funding while most football types career in the unlicensed pharmaceutical trade.

And where do womens basketball/laCrosse types end up? It usually ain’t high finance or as captains of industry. They are used and discarded.

I used to work with a very white guy who was a former Notre Dame player from team back in the 80s or 90s (whichever it was). His very costly ‘education’ got him a job no further up the ladder than my very not so costly one. But he did have a back injury that had crippled him at a young age pretty badly.

And I’m sure the college profited well for his efforts that year.

Missouri was here long before this coach and current set of players
arrived. Missouri will still be here long after this coach and this current
set of players are gone.
With or without football.

Fire the coach. Cancel the scholarships of those involved and start over.

"So, Mr. University President? Football coach says you're fired."

Right. That'll happen.

Well it looks like the President needs to fire the coach and then rescind the scholarships of the the players.

The pandering to the black basketball players from ten years ago is coming home to roost.
