COLUMBIA, Mo. - Before taking any questions from reporters Wednesday, Missouri football coach Eliah Drinkwitz wanted to address the biggest story in the country: Another killing of a Black American by a white police officer. In May it was George Floyd in Minneapolis. On Sunday it was Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wis.
Drinkwitz was asked about the story in Wisconsin on Tuesday and didn’t have much to say. He didn’t hold back a day later.
“I’ll admit I wasn't aware of the situation as I needed to be. So I made myself aware after the (press conference),” he said on Zoom after Wednesday's practice.
