My wife had the best solution I've heard. The president should have stayed on through the weekend to call their bluff. If the football team had played, they lose. If they didn't, ain't no one going to the NFL.

Not much of a discussion about the issue of the day, more of the liberal argument that goes like " Shut up, no it's not, your wrong, blah blah blah". My goodness it's a University and even young adults are entitled to adult conversations but the victim mentality will not allow that, they have backed themselves into a corner and are unable to communicate anything but how they feel.

Further more I am struck by what pansy's they are, the first university protest/demonstration I witnessed was when it came out that Nixon had bombed Cambodia, I plopped my young self down in between the State Patrol and the protesters and I'll tell you what it looked nothing like these silly students. A rich and diverse experience in life will put their tribulations into perspective. I am also struck with the notion of how bad they would think it was to live into the world they claim to aspire to.

This, ladies and gents, is the perfect example of the preverbial "Self Licking Icecream Cone"

We have college staff and professors create these little marxist "useful idiots", they unleash them upon us. After we have been "punished", they turn around and eat their own.

I freakin' love it!

It's like watching Ebola ransack a village. It kills the entire village then burns itself out! These "bastions of higher learning" will eat themselves to death.

Sit back and enjoy the show.

The coach knows that if he didn't side with the players his head would've been on the chopping block right next to the president's.

I don't know much about sports, but I know there's a balance between how much you want to get paid (or think you can get paid), and how much you'll tolerate before looking elsewhere for that paycheck.

If the coach jumped off this runaway train, where could he go?

Makes you wonder who's leading whom?

Especially after being labelled a racist on all major media outlets - who would want to take on all the drama?

I had hoped Tim Wolfe would've called Jonathan Butler's hunger strike bluff before he resigned.

His 2014 compensation was $8.4 million, according to regulatory filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

I'd like to see disgruntled athletes completely bring down aMEricas university systeml; nothing would be finer than to see this explode and go nation wide...

Wouldn't it be awesome to see Clemson shut down because the football team decides the governor hasnt fixed racism yet?
Maybe we could see Notre Dame force an minimum wage increase before the Fighting Irish return to the field!!!
The Crimson Tide can finally fix the problem with police brutality by refusing to play until the Chief of Police jumps off a bridge!!!

I hope the young minds that these stupid fucking university administrators have spent the last three decades brain washing, rise up and dismantle every brick in the college.

...you dont want to appoint a chancellor that meets the student bodies expectations.
NO.FUCKING.PROBLEM

We will strike. Social Justice motherfuckers... a truck load of cis-gendered, entitled bullies made an offensive remark and I will not stop until I get satisfaction!!!
Your sports program will crumble when we stop playing and your millions of dollars donated by the alumni will stop.

I hope they protest until the university system cant afford to ignore us any longer and they are forced to submit to EVERY desire floated by the poor oppressed young students.
DO.AS.WE.SAY
...or we will strike

I hope these fucking lunatics destroy the very foundation of the aMErican institution of higher education.

BRICK.BY.BRICK


Academia has spent decades filling these thick skulls full of mush - teaching them that THIS is how you get things done. Well, now everyone can see exactly the type of mush that they have learned in the all inclusive, free speech but dont offend me, university system. How surprising that these SJW's are voraciously biting the hands that feed them.

I hope every single "educator" that has ever used the podium as a bully pulpit for putting agendas in the head of the student body instead of simple adcademic fact is shaking in their boots with the new found proof that the student body can simply refuse to play football...
...and you are fucking done!

The "I told you so" is so sweet.

The head shit stirrer in the show is Payton Head. After he essentially screamed FIRE in the theater today via Twitter and Twitchy that KKK was on the campus I don't see how or way this ass clown isn't behind bars let alone allowed within a mile of campus.

The Gateway Pundit is reporting that this asshole meet with the Obama back 2011.

I also read that the Click girl resigned her courtesy appointment but kept her office as mass media professor.


I would like to know who is calling the shots at MU, because it looks like the inmates have taken over the asylum. This is too fucking funny.

The inmates took over in the '70s. These are their progeny.
