These kids are trying to do the right thing, has nothing to do with their tough season. Mizzou has huge problems with racism on campus and the administration needs to act.

One thing is for sure: you should lose your scholarship if you refuse to take the field because of some ideological stance you have or imagine you have.

I wish.

Even when the people with the authority to pull the scholarships support the strike? Should the university president step in and pull the scholarships himself? Would that not be a big conflict of interest?

What are the huge problems?

I think the minority students have some valid concerns.

I'm still up here. This is not sec country nor are these folks, nice as they are, an SEC fan base. I just spent three hours in a big jumpin' BBQ place with two bars and about ten big screens. Not one was on an SEC game or any college football for that matter. Had to ask to get one changed to Bama vs. LSU.

I hope our players do this over state flag flying on campus. That would get it taken down in minutes.

**** sakes, every day someone bitching cause they don't get their way. If they don't wanna play, let em sit one out.

Pinkel is revered at Mizzou. If he is supporting this, even if quietly, the President is gone. Mark it down.

Apparently the university administration (outside of the president, I'd assume) isn't too upset with the players either. Won't be any schollies pulled:
"The department of athletics is aware of the declarations made tonight by many of our student-athletes. We all must come together with leaders from across our campus to tackle these challenging issues and we support our student-athletes right to do so."
If the coaches and university administration aren't upset with the players, there's no reason posters on a Mississippi State message board should be. Kudos to them for exercising their First Amendment rights.

Missouri players are upset that Dak and our defense didn't create a "safe space" for their feelings to be expressed

Could be, but I think there are a number of incidents that have been reported with inadequate response. You also have to remember that this is only 100 miles from Ferguson with a lot of kids from the St. Louis area at the school. Racial tensions are high in Missouri in general, that's my experiencing having lived there for 15 years.

So what exactly did the school President do to incur the wrath?

He has done nothing to acknowledge or deal with racial tensions or racism on the campus and against minority students. That's how it reads to me
