All the comments in this thread look like the same comments people in 50's and 60's said about the Civil Rights era.

No way Mizzou players are striking if they are 5-1 in the SEC. The basketball team probably has high hopes for the season (as all teams do at the beginning of the season) and they aren't striking. The list of demands is ridiculous and the "problems" they are striking over are laughable.

That being said, stuff like this is probably going to happen more and more often. When public institutions get involved in social issues, insanity ensues.

Just when you think Missouri can't suck any worse


Congrats SEC, you're becoming the SJW conference

Yeah, well, in his defense, nothing else he is posting in this thread makes sense either so he's being consistent.

I am glad that i am not the only one that can see it.

Student athletes are students first, so who would be better to take a stand for a just cause than young students who are good members of society.

But if you let some people tell it, all they need to do is be docile and play football.

Answer this for me, do you agree with this statement
"On a serious note, can't wait to see these upstanding citizens serve my missouri friends biscuits at McDonalds or attempt to carjack them at intersections in Furgeson".


People in this thread seem to agree with this post more than mines, and this has to be the most racist thing i have read all day.

So has anyone figured out if it's all the players on FB team or just a select few being a vocal minority?

Also is this "organization" a recognized organization at MU?

But your generalization based on a bias seems to be fine.

i'd hope they do strike. what should their record have to do with them taking a stand?

think about this. WE give their (any) football team the power they have. WE attach importance to their games and talk about it here. WE make them the representatives of their universities over the average kid, over the doctorate candidates, over the frat stars. If WE didn't give them that power, they'd be the ultimate frisbee team

WE act like the world will stop spinning if they don't play

That post has more up votes than down votes, but nah, the general consensus in this thread isn't clouded by racism for some of the posters.

Do I agree that he can't wait to see something that may or may not happen? You want me to answer that?

Do you or do you not agree with the post, it is a simple yes or no question.

It's easy to "win" an argument when you just make things up with no basis for it.

I'm really surprised that none of these concerns whatever they are have not been addressed by SAAC, which every school has.
