Athletes of color on Missouri’s football team are taking a drastic stand against university president Tim Wolfe.
Via Missouri’s Legion of Black Collegians, the athletes of color on the Tigers football team announced on Saturday night they “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.”

This is part of larger movement — including a “respected” graduate student going on a hunger strike — to fight racism on campus.
