Missouri Football Players On Strike

Although we may not like to admit it, racism is still very evident in our society today. It is so prominent on the campus of Missouri University, that MU football players have gone on strike and are refusing to play to achieve some justice in their community. One player, Jonathan Butler, is on a hunger strike in hopes to get the university's president, Tim Wolfe, fired. Several racist accounts have been recorded over the past 90 days, consisting of the student body president being called "the N word" and a swastika being drawn on a dorm. "ConcernedStudent1950," a student lead protest group, held a protest during a parade in which Wolfe remained in his car and did not communicate with the students. Since then, Wolfe has made a public apology, but students still hold him accountable for not taking action against the racism on campus. Wolfe released a statement saying he will be working with representatives of the university to try and make some changes with a deadline of April. However, even with this statement, students still seem to want Wolfe fired.
