(CNN)Black football players at the University of Missouri have joined calls demanding the ouster of the president of the state's four-campus university system over alleged inaction against racism on campus.
About 30 players made their thoughts known Saturday night in a tweet posted by Missouri's Legion of Black Collegians.
"The athletes of color on the University of Missouri football team truly believe "Injustice Anywhere is a threat to Justice Everywhere," read the tweet. "We will no longer participate in any football related activities until President Tim Wolfe resigns or is removed due to his negligence toward marginalized students' experience."
The players' move is the latest salvo in a spiraling debate over the experiences of African-American students at Missouri, who have complained of inaction on the part of school leaders in dealing with racism on the overwhelmingly white campus.

Yet plenty here will gladly wear the jerseys of these men-children if it was “their” team.
Based on their record it looks like they’ve been sitting out all season!
As I posted on the other thread, my wife points out that this is the logical extension to letting Vanderbilt beat you.
Correct. It's also unfair to the fans of BYU, Tennessee, and Arkansas. These schools are scheduled to play Missouri still.
I’m not familiar with the complete history of events, but most of them seem to be orchestrated.
Well of course they are not doing well. How can they do well when they are subjected to these daily microaggressions?
If the majority of students are white then try actin’ white and become a part of the majority.
Bill Cosby has doctorate in education...
Let ‘em.
Why don’t the students simply ask for what they really want; complete submission of body, soul, and spirit to those “of color”...which may include white extermination. For surely, any disagreement with these little genius victims is racism. Oh, and let’s not forget the million man march a couple weeks ago for #OnlyBlackLivesMatter that Farrakhan and Jeremiah Wright (Obama’s Pastor) led, calling for the extermination of the “white man’s God” and replacing him with Allah and his prophet Mohammed (swine urine be upon his name/grave). While I do not expect fatherless athletes steeped in CRA to know better, I am shocked and dismayed at the cowering enablers allowing these young barbarians to think they are right.
Swallowing poison and hoping your enemy dies.
Open the team up to all the guys playing intramural ball, right now. Field a team on Saturday even if the score is 100-0.
Consider any scholarship player who doesn’t show in breach of contact and just give his place on the team to someone else.
I like it.
Do you have any idea how much the University makes off of them? They'll draw and quarter the University president first.
These little cry babies are stuck on DUMB. I’m sick of this whining. Stand up and be an American instead of a black Sambo!! Get tough and make a living and take care of your children and the women “yo” impregnated. I’m tired of paying for them!!
pick up games at the Walmart parking lot.

How about waiting for pick up work at the Home Depot lot?
Verdict first. Trial later
