The black players on the University of Missouri football team have said that they will not participate in any further football activities until the school president has stepped down or been fired due to the mishandling and non action over the last few months of racist attacks both symbolic and physical on campus.

These kids are doing the right thing. The administration of the University had done absolutely nothing to reprimand the acts over the last few months much less deter the actions.

Their lack of action almost seems like they are condoning the acts.

I'm sure the beginning of this post will anger some of the people on this website, but do not lose sight of what is really going on. Some 18 to 22 year old kids are standing up for what they believe in and doing it in the correct way. I'm interested to see how this develops and continues throughout the week.
