Black football players striking at Missouri in protest of administration
Black football players at Missouri are going on strike from football activities until a change is made in university leadership.
Missouri cornerback Anthony Sherrils posted this message to his Twitter account Saturday evening with a picture of a group of 32 Missouri players. The strike is after a Missouri graduate student named Jonathan Butler announced he was going on a hunger strike until University of Missouri president Tim Wolfe vacated his position.
The St. Louis Post Dispatch identified linebacker Kentrell Brothers, defensive end Charles Harris and running backs Russell Hansbrough and Ish Witter in the photo.
"The department of athletics is aware of the declarations made tonight by many of our student athletes," a statement from Missouri's athletic department said. "We must all come together with leaders from across our campus to tackle these challenging issues and support our student-athletes' right to do so."
Cornerback John Gibson III said the team's coaches and white players supported the movement.
Many African-American students are upset with what they feel is systemic racism on the campus. The latest incident happened Oct. 24 when a swastika made of feces was smeared on the wall of a dorm bathroom.
The movement started in September, when Payton Head, the head of the Missouri Students Association, said he was called racial slurs by people in a truck driving by him. He told the Columbia Missourian it was the first time he'd "experienced in-your-face racism" on campus.
The Missourian has a complete timeline of other events through the fall that have helped trigger the "Concerned Student 1950" movement. Students are upset at the lack of tangible action made by university officials toward the curbing of the type of incidents and diversity education on campus.
Wolfe recently apologized for his inaction at the Homecoming parade. However there has been no indication if any change in Missouri's administration is immediately forthcoming.
Students protested Wolfe's car at the homecoming parade on Oct. 10. The homecoming protest came five days after an intoxicated white male shouted racial slurs towards members of the Legion of Black Collegians rehearsing for a play on campus.
Mizzou (4-5) lost to Mississippi State on Thursday. The Tigers play BYU on Saturday in
Kansas City.
