When the Mizzou football team vowed to quit all football-related activities in November 2015 until the university system president was removed or resigned, The New York Times cheered the players for "lending heft" to the racial activists' cause. Two years later, theTimes had to admit that all the campus hysteria and the administration's decision to cave to it turned out to be exactly what many predicted it would be: an absolute "disaster" for the university. Over the next two years, freshmen enrollment dropped a stunning 35%, forcing the school to shut down seven dorms and lay off over 400 employees. As for the football team, which saw millions in donations disappear overnight, well, it's now a full-fledged dumpster fire.



The NFL should learn a lesson from Mizzou what happens when you alienate a large portion of your fanbase to appease a radical minority.

Mizzou the school is a dumpster fire.

I wouldn't throw out the football dumpster fire label.

LSU football is also a dumpster fire.

Nobody wanted to send their kids to the school because both it and the surrounding areas felt unsafe.

Nobody feels unsafe going to an NFL game because of players kneeling. They probably feel unsafe because of the other shitbird fans.

Certainly there are many differences between the two, but alienating the many to please the few is never a good business strategy.

Are you trying to say that it wasn't because of the absolutely fake outrage, protests, and administration bending over for the protestors?

What happened at Missouri is a good encapsulation of what will happen to America if we allow these SJW lunatics to destroy our country.

No doubt. The sad part is that the media is hastening the destruction.

I guarantee that the SJW chucklefricks point to the 35% drop in enrollment and layoffs as consequences of other SJWs not wanting to go to such a "racist school" like Missouri. They are patting themselves on the back for helping show how racist it is.

They are incapable of introspection.

Relative to LSU standards, yes. Mizzou is bad compared to most college team's standards.

The SJW stunt absolutely wrecked that entire school

Whatever happened to the female Missary professor who "needed some muscle over here" to take care of a student journalist?

What part of me blaming the school for creating an unsafe environment was confusing in my post?

Obviously I was referring to all of the craziness. You didn't think I was referring to the stress from their high academic standards, did you?

Leftists are like Biblical locust plagues.

Swarm one institution, ruin it, then move on to the next.

Hopefully the NFL will suffer the same fate.
