Standing in solidarity with Black students and Black student organizations, thirty-two (32) University of Missouri black football players have unequivocally stated that they will not play until the president of the university resigns or is removed. “The athletes of color 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 marginalized students’ experiences. WE ARE UNITED!!!!!”
We are no longer taking it. It’s time to fight. #ConcernedStudent1950 #MizzouHungerStrike pic.twitter.com/mnPZBviqJF

32 people seems like more than “several” though… https://t.co/C5ar9RyQrN — jesseWilliams. (@iJesseWilliams) November 8, 2015
