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.

I still haven’t seen a list of offenses the BLMs claim occur on a near weekly basis.
I cant figure out how the s***t swastika thing fits into this. Was it an Aryan Nation thing or an anti-Aryan Nation thing?

Bring in retired Chicago Bear coach Mike Ditka (conservative Republican) as head coach replacement.
Problem solved.

Future high school coach. Probably the near future.

I read that list of demands. Essentially they want a say in running the university - which none of them deserve or have a right to - and they want money given to their friends, allies, and service they wish to use. It’s nothing more than a shake down.
I hope it ends badly for them. Most likely it won’t.

“By the way exactly why is the President being targeted here?”
Essentially because he didn’t fawn all over the poor little black college kids when they started complaining about “racial incidents” on campus - one or two of which might be hoaxes anyway.

Sounds like it was written by a professional agitator. Find out who wrote this and you’ll be closer to finding the real perp.
Hey, it worked for Sharpton!

My Mildcats should ask Coach Snyder for his coach recommendation, then hire that guy and let Snyder enjoy his remaining years.

Fire the coach and throw out any player on scholarship.
I hear Charlie Weiss is looking for a job.

"By the way exactly why is the President being targeted here?"
The list of demands makes a reference to the president's "driver" bumping into a student during a demonstration. I don't know about the incident, but it sounds like a mob of demonstrators might have surrounded the president's car and that his car struck one of the demonstrators.

I hope UM does the right thing, because it will be a sad day when a group of jocks and an idiot coach are successful in extorting a major university.
Believe me, athletic programs and universities nation wide are watching this power play with intent interest. Ramifications will be huge either way.

Fire the coach, forfeit the remaining games. Rinse, repeat as necessary. Innocents/individuals held hostage, again - by the collective.

Have been hoping for a long time, and continue to do so - that “Mizzou” be removed from the SEC football conference.

Fire the coach, expel the “student” athletes for not complying with their athletic scholarship requirements. It is a state educational institution, not a state run pre-professional football program.

My school, SFSU, got rid of football so as to fund lesbian soccer.
As an aside, my degree application was signed off by an open homosexual pedophile.
