Holy shite. Is this the narrative?!

I was standing right next to the incident when it occurred and have a 13 minute video of the entire thing....what you said is ONE HUNDRED PERCENT FALSE. If anything, the President completely ignored them.

Poor TJ Moe (former player)

because he doesn't buy into their whole deal, the blacks and SJW's are attacking him on twitter.

This is what happens when a bunch of 18-22 year old people react on what they've been taught because they don't have real practical experience, and make stupid decisions.

Meanwhile, this is what happens when you build a billion dollar industry that depends on the collective willingness of a bunch of 18-22 year olds to participate in an extra-curricular activity in exchange for a college education whose worth is diminishing by the year.

Grambling, Northwestern, and Missouri have challenged the system so far. They won't be the last.

He should take away their scholarships and sue them for slander.

These guys are getting far more than a college education. Athletics for most schools is a money drain.

Clearly it doesn't mean as much to them as it did decades ago. Meanwhile, the people getting rich off this are getting richer than they were decades ago, yielding a foundation not so sturdy as a few decades ago.

The bubble is going to burst regardless of whether these Missouri football players walk or not. Schools are finding it harder to make money, prices are rising above what the average person can afford. It's going to fall apart in a few years.

The "student athlete" is a myth. At most schools, these kids get academic waivers, some get cars, money, clothing, etc. It's semi pro ball masquerading as a collegiate program.

I wish so bad that if they held out on their teammates that they would be kicked off the team.

It's ridiculously selfish. Especially during the season! Kick them off... but you know they won't.. too afraid of PC..

Oh, it is. If their season was worth a shite, this wouldn't be happening.

Anyone see any long term ramifications for Missouri as a program? What about all the white players? Were they asked to strike? Did they tell them to frick off? This is an incredibly stupid decision by these young men.

So instead of perhaps looting or destroying property because they aren't comfortable with the way things are in regards to racial tensions,a peaceful protest is frown upon. So I guess they should just shut and play football, amiright?!?!
