Mizzou Football Players on Strike

[bonarae]

... for non-football-related reasons, supporting a graduate student's hunger strike related to their president's non-reaction against racial prejudice, until either the student passes on or the president resigns.

You pretty much have to give in to negros on everything in this PC country we live in. The Pres will be gone by whenever the team bus or plane to the next game takes off.

[AZGrizFan]

I hope he stays and makes them forfeit every fucking game they have left.

[clenz]

I hope he stays and makes them forfeit every fucking game they have left.

even if for a week, wouldn't it be grand for him to call them in their bluff. Cause them to forfeit one game and eliminate themselves from bowl contention them step aside

Sorry, but in his position I'd NEVER cave in to that BS. They want to get rid of him, go through the proper steps.

i don't disagree

I just think if he is going to step down anyway it'd be great to call them on their bluff first

Well, if it were me, I'd let them sit the next three weeks. Call the whole fucking season. Idiots.

At ~$1,000,000 a pop... that could become pretty expensive.

Twice the President's salary per game.

Great plan, dumbass.

[93henfan]

I wouldn't want to be a Missouri pork seller with all these negro hunger strikes starting up.

So you are choosing money over principle?

[bluehenbillk]

I'd love to see this play out at least for a week - see what happens on Saturday...

[ASUG8]

Yank their scholarships - that's part of the bargain. You play on Saturdays and you get free education.

[Ibanez]

Fuck this. Those kids were recruited to serve a a purpose. They signed a contract. Pull their scholarships for breach of contract and expel them. Someone has to stand up for what's right.


This is just ridiculous. If the students have grievances, go through the proper channels. Document the effort. If the administration refuses to hear it, go above them. If that fails, then go it alone. I doubt the students went through all the proper channels. Also, the coach should STFU and not get involved. He should continue to hold practices.

This fucking generation. Next thing you know is some black guy is going to sue NBC for calling a power outage a "black out."

He's going to be out, no matter what he does.

Why does he give a fuck how much money is lost?

If you are going to submit demands, you might want to have it proofread.

Looks to me like they want a disproportionate number of black people in the faculty. While they're at it, why don't they make their football and basketball programs:
* 62.1% white
* 13.2% black
* 5.4% Asian
* 15.3% hispanic
* 4% other

I mean, if you really want to be fair and have everything proportionate regardless of talent level, it's the right thing to do........

At 5.4% you'd have more kickers than you need.
