Missouri Football Players take a stand

 On August, 26 2015 a group of Missouri footballs players took a stand to how they feel about racism. There was other student that had talked about it but nothing was reaching the president of their collage. So with the help of the coaches and staff the football players told the president that they would not play in another game until they saw something happen. On November 9, 2015 President Tim Wolfe resigned in the middle of criticism of handling of racial issues. Although, it was not right to blackmail him, and it was not just the president’s fault for all the racism going on. There is other ways to address racism then to go on a hunger strike. When you go on a hunger strike you are just hurting yourself, not everyone else. You could have a protest and go on many different strikes, like: the football players refusing to play. I believe that is was a good idea for Tim Wolfe to resign, he was not doing his job and listening to the students in the first place. The football players and faculty did the right thing by standing up and addressing the situation. The Coach backed up all the players and their efforts to change the school. Why try to be a president to a collage if you are racist.  If Wolfe wasn’t going to change the school someone had to and I’m glad the football players took a stand.
