Missouri Football about to go on strike

[JDeuce]

So essentially, because someone had a swastika flag in their dorm and because of some alleged racial incidents around campus, the black players on the football team is ready to go on strike.

Ok, then. Sounds legit to me!

Here's a list of their demands. "We want the president to admit white privilege, then resign."

What a crock of shit. I hope the school rips their scholarships and fires Gary Pinkel.

I thought the Missouri players were already on strike. All season they've refused to cross their opponent's goal line.

Hmm I wonder if Maty Mauk's suspension is from a racial incident. The school has kept him out all season for "violation of team rules."

 

[GasMan]

Wow what a joke....

All the white Alumni should boycott the football team and demand they pull the scholarships.

Too fucking funny. White privilege.

Stupid as fuck. Kids and coach should be given the boot to the ass if they dont play and practice.

Kind of my thoughts as well.

The deal is they play football in exchange for tuition, room, board, etc.

If the players decide to stop playing football, then why is the university on the hook to continue paying for them to go there?

 

[loomis41973]

If those Missouri players were serious about creating a "safe space" they should look inward.

"Missouri had 63 criminal cases involving 46 athletes during the five-year time period. Twelve athletes were involved in more than one incident, Outside the Lines found, and Missouri had the second-highest number of allegations of sexual assault, violence against women, and harassment. Florida State had the most."

Those actions by the Missouri football players are far worse than a few racial epithets. But, again, it is all about the politics of distraction.

we cannot accept, condone or encourage this type of behavior

from what I've read, it's all juvenile petty bullshit

if they don't practice or play, revoke their scholarships and send them home

The President of the school stepped down.

This is incredible. Universities are turning into fascist communes.

Something similar happened at PSU on a smaller scale in 1981? I can't even remember the main issue the black students rose or how it was resolved though.

Questions for repubs: has there been any racism of whites against blacks in the last 20 years? Besides negative articles agains Carson, Cain and Clarence Thomas. Seems it doesn't matter what happens....it's never racism to you guys. Some stuff is overblown, we know this, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

 

[ScottL]

Vit I'll answer. YES!

But let's treat the issue on a case by case basis. Is there racism here or stupidity and intimidation run amok? That's the crucial issue.

I haven't followed anything on this Missouri thing.....don't have the slightest clue what the issues are yet but I woulda bet a lot of money the usual suspects would be lining up against the black guys.

now I will go see what it is.

"The Missouri Students Association released a letter on Twitter decrying the administration’s silence after the 2014 shooting of Michael Brown"

===
What a total outrage! I mean, the Mizzou President should have been all "Hands up, don't shoot!!" and shit.

"A swastiska was found on a bathroom wall, drawn with human feces"

Odds that it was done by one of these protestors is over 90%.

How pathetic.

 

[JDeuce]

In a televised news conference on Monday held to announce his resignation, an emotional Wolfe said, "I take full responsibility for this frustration and I take full responsibility for the inaction that has occurred."


Take responsibility for what? He didn't commit the alleged acts. Since when is the school president responsible for personally investigating incidents like these? Aren't those usually left up to the campus police, or...the city police, if the matter is more serious? I wonder how many of these protesters are even aware of what a swastika represents.

So the bottom line here is a school president was ousted because of the color of his skin and he didn't sympathize enough to appease the protesters? And their goals are to ensure x% of faculty are black, regardless of qualifications?

What a sorry disgrace. These disgusting losers are living out their fantasies that they are fighting real racism in the 60s. If these dimwits get their way on their list of demands, the entire university will degenerate into some "social justice" hellhole...and a degree from Mizzou will rank somewhere below one from U of Phoenix online a few years down the line.

Pull their scholarships....fire Pinkel. Hilarious how many of you brain dead schmucks are DEAD wrong, once again-and many of you will still have that befuddled, wtf look on your faces when your asses are being wheeled into the old folks home, lol....

Scott my friend, I'll sum it up for you

Some people think people who want smaller federal government, low taxes and less regulations are out of touch extremists, I'll nickname those extremists the Tea Party

Those same people sympathize with the Occupy Wall Street crowd, they think OWS is main-street, they're right, they're relevant, and most importantly they're not extremists

At the end of the day, many in that same crowd thinks that the taxpaying working white males are responsible for the societal ills of this country.

Deal with that as you so choose




many of them also think they know more about the Middle East and security than Benjamin Netanyahu, think about that

they tell me WHY?

more importantly, a small minority of brain dead idiots will be emboldened
