Missouri Football Team to Boycott Games Over ‘Racism’

Black players from a US college football team say they will boycott games until their university’s president resigns over what they call his inability to deal with racism . . .

This comes as one university student is continuing a hunger strike over alleged racism in the mainly white college.

In a statement, the group of black players said: “The athletes of colour on the University of Missouri football team truly believe ‘injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere’.

“We will no longer participate in any football-related activities until President Tim Wolfe resigns or is removed due to his negligence toward marginalised students’ experience.”

The athletes said they were joining other protest groups at the 35,000 campus. Activists have long complained about what they describe as racial slur and white favouritism. (Read more from “Missouri Football Team to Boycott Games Over ‘Racism'” HERE)
