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.

It boils down to this ... the Mizzou football coach (left) and his black jocks are trying to get the University of Missouri president (right) sacked ... because somebody used the N-word, somebody else carved a swastika on a dorm, somebody else went on a hunger strike, and the president failed to address student concerns.

So what material was the swastika made out of that was so soft it could be carved with feces?

Fire the coach. If protests continue....discontinue the football program. Problem solved.

Not a good combo coach. Not too smart are you?

When it turns out to be a black person who did this, will the players have to quit the school?

Fire his butt, good luck for him to find a new college coaching job, cancel the football season, good luck to the brothers finding a NFL team to hire their troublesome butts!

The “racist” incidents looked like false-flags to me.

Nanny statism makes people weak. They have no sense of self so any slight anywhere by anyone sets them off.

Can the players be on football scholarships if they refuse to play football?

I'd send them all tuition bills due in full on receipt, and apply whatever the penalty is for non payment of tuition.

Good Bye Coach, no a good career move.

I hope you enjoy driving a taxi.

These guys who’s jobs depend on disproportionately black players are the biggest ass-kissers around, even more so than politicians. That’s the ONLY reason they give a damn. Remember the Final Four coaches and their “joint statement” re the Indiana Freedom of Religion law?

They don’t care about anyone or anything but themselves. And probably every one of them has knowingly cheated in recruiting, academics, and eligibility.

Pinkel, btw, was cheating on his (now ex) wife and it all came out when he was busted for DWI. During the FB season.

Student concerns don’t concern me just a hell of a lot. Fire and expel seems the proper route. Only thing I can think of coming out of Missouri that I liked was Truman.

Coach may have picked the wrong year to pull this stunt. They are 1-5 against first string opponents. Last in the SEC east of teams which still have the coach they started the season with.

Fire the coach. His losing team sucks and is not relevant this year.
