Missouri Football Players Refusing to Play

And now Georgetown athletes are protesting Nike. Never mind the fact that they're still wearing the free Nike stuff given to them.

http://georgetownvoice.com/2015/11/11/student-athletes-cover-up-nike-logo-on-university-provided-equipment/

It's time to blow up college campuses and start over.

Were these Georgetown athletes living under a rock until this speaker came to campus? They must legitimately be the only people who didn't know that Nikes - and just about every other big brand product out there - are made using questionable labor practices. Wait until they hear that the people who make that iPhone they took that picture with routinely throw themselves off of buildings just to not have to work in the horrendous conditions anymore.

Hey, maybe $1.25/Hr. is a living wage over there. Who am I say otherwise. (:

I get their point and there is some teeth to the argument but I think one could say that for anything made over there.

No kidding! I mean, when you see that do you first think "oh, this is the art work of a well balanced racist", or "what the hell is wrong with someone to make them do crazy shit like that?"

OK, this is for the current students.
We host Missouri on Tuesday at the Cintas Center. I better see some signs in the student section mocking everything about this situation.

Trigger Warning - I'm rooting for X
Trigger Warning - I have a different opinion
Warning - Cintas Center is not a safe space
Maybe a Fathead picture of this lady when they shoot a free throw http://money.cnn.com/2015/11/10/media/missouri-protest-melissa-click/

It is your Doodie to mock them.

That's exactly why they should go for it. There's too much good material to not have fun with it. Screw Mizzou and any other college community that embraces anti-American attitudes.

You'd think if the XU administration is thinking they would be worried about any potential signs. They might be wise to get out in front of any potential ideas the students might have.

How Can You Tell You've Never Been a Victim of Actual Terrorism and Have Absolutely No Perspective?
You think being called shitty names and having a white professor is the same thing as people being blown up and executed with AK-47s.

Truth be told, bitching about the lack of media attention for what's going on at Mizzou in favor of what's happening in Paris isn't just offensive to those who lost their life or loved one yesterday. It's offensive to all victims of actual terrorism, including the many black men who were hanged from trees for decades just for being black. That's terrorism. Someone calling you a name is hurtful, but at least you get to wake up tomorrow and complain some more about it. Perspective.

Saying this is a lack of perspective doesn't go far enough. It's actually a warped, selfish, even paranoid perspective.

And it's sad and scary.

Wow. Must really be a horrible place, that Mizzou. You know..so racist that the students selected a Black Student Body President. You know...a place that feels so unsafe that you want to spend SEVEN years in that exact same place. And, You Know....a place that is so full of "my agenda first and only" people that there is no sensitivity for a real, rather than manufactured out of air, tragedy.

Hey kids. The only thing fair in life is a ground ball between first and third. May as well accept that fact right now and shut up.

Your logic is the same as those that say "we have a black president, of course racism is dead".

[Masterofreality]

Your logic is the same as those that say "we have a black president, of course racism is dead".

Every thing I pointed out there is absolutely true. It's not logic, it's fact. Something else that is evident is that a group of showy rabble rousers with thin evidence was kow-towed to by an overly sensitive media and a scared to death college administration. Even to the point that when the Paris tragedy happened, many of those same rabble rousers were all upset that their spotlight had been stolen.

C'mon Millhouse. Show me where these students have been so "wronged". Black Student Body President. Credit to the students and school. Guy stays 7 years. Hmm, must like the place overall. Whaaaaaaaa, we blocked a road and got nudged...ALLEGEDLY....Whaaaaaaaaa!!! WHaaaaaaa!!! SwastiKa-KA. No one can prove who did it and what it was supposed to slam. Whaaaaaaa!!!! Whaaaaaaa!!! Drunk guy OFF campus yells the N word. Guys is arrested. Whaaaaaaa!!! Whaaaaaaaa!! Whaaaaaaaa!!!

There is Twinkie box on my tree lawn...

Are my neighbors insinuating that I need to lose some weight?
Do they think I'm gay and like strapping young men?

I need a safe spot as I'm done with both these micro and macro aggressions.

Apparently you don't know anyone in academia. Asking them to bow to government pressure would be like getting the NRA to fight to close the gun show loophole. The end result makes perfect sense but it's anathema to their existence.

Who exactly are "THEY"?

Missouri is a public school. The Board of Curators are appointed by the governor of the state. Now, generally they don't involve themselves in decisions that involve personnel, but at the same time state lawmakers generally aren't demanding that someone be fired either. When lawmakers get involved, then chances are the board of trustees is the "THEY" who will make the call. They won't think of it as "bowing to government pressure."

They all have to protect their "phony, baloney jobs".

Yes, and at any given sporting event thousands of fans are publicly intoxicated right there on video. I'm just a little surprised they're pursuing it. I'm not saying she didn't do it. I'm just under the impression that this is typically the kind of thing that doesn't rise to the level of actually being charged.
