College Football Team Fires University President, says Steve Sailer at VDARE. And they have. Piqued because their demands have not been met, some of the football players at the University of Missouri threatened to go on strike. They bagged a President and a Chancellor:
The University of Missouri system’s president, Tim Wolfe, and the chancellor of the flagship campus, R. Bowen Loftin, announced on Monday that they were resigning their posts in the face of growing protests by African-American students, the threat of a walkout by faculty and a strike by football players who said the administrators had done too little to combat racism on campus.
Students there claim to have had their feelings hurt repeatedly. Pay attention to this one in particular:
In addition, a swastika drawn in feces was found recently in a dormitory bathroom. Protesters at Missouri galvanized around a group called Concerned Student 1950, which gets its name from the year the university accepted its first black student.
Check out how the idiot authors of the USA Today article, Covey Son and Aamer Madhani , painted this movement:
The movement comes more than a year after a white police officer in Ferguson, Mo., shot and killed Michael Brown, an unarmed black teenager, spurring a national protest. The St. Louis suburb is about 120 miles from the Columbia campus.
Never mind that Brown attacked the white officer.
Never mind that Brown robbed a store and strong-armed the owner.
Never mind that the officer was not found to have violated anyone’s civil rights.
Never mind that Brown was entirely in the wrong.
Never mind that. The two jackasses, Son and Madhani, wanted to fire up the masses. The truth wasn’t going to do that.
There’s a lot of butt hurt going on. Here’s how one snowflake put it:
“I feel pretty isolated,” said Yacim, who is black. “It is a predominantly white institution. And as a black student, there are times when i feel out of place. Seeing that minority students on campus can stick together and make things happen has been a really great experience. “
To combat this butthurt, Missou is opting for a full blitz on free speech.
On Monday afternoon, activists who had demanded Wolfe’s resignation abruptly demanded that media stop covering their activities on the public campus of the taxpayer-funded university. At the center of those demands was Melissa Click, an assistant professor of mass media within Mizzou’s communications department.
Click wanted some “muscle” to help her stop the media from covering the protests. (Video at the link)
On taxpayer-owned public land in a taxpayer funded school.
Not wanting to miss out on proving just how freaking stupid they are, the Missouri University PD sent out emails urging students to call them if their feelings get hurt by someone calling them a poopy head. The MUPD is ready and willing to sacrifice the Constitutional rights of students at the altar of political correctness.
This is political correctness on steroids. It has now gotten so bad than Jonathan Chait is shaking his head:
That these activists have been able to prevail, even in the face of frequently harsh national publicity highlighting the blunt illiberalism of their methods, confirms that these incidents reflect something deeper than a series of one-off episodes. They are carrying out the ideals of a movement that regards the delegitimization of dissent as a first-order goal. People on the left need to stop evading the question of political correctness — by laughing it off as college goofs, or interrogating the motives of p.c. critics, or ignoring it — and make a decision on whether they agree with it.
All this mollycoddling makes you wonder- who is going to be the nanny for these snowflakes once they’re beyond the penumbra of PC umbrella? Who’s going to hold their hands, blow their noses, dry their tears and give them a glass of warm milk once they’re in the real world? Who’s going to arrest those who hurt their feelings? Who’s going to rub their butt hurt?
Speaking of poopy heads, something stinks about all this. Sean Davis:
A reported incident of vandalism at Mizzou sparked university-wide protests, a boycott by the school’s 4-5 football team, and eventually the resignation of the university’s president and chancellor.
There’s only one problem: no evidence of the alleged incident, in which a poop swastika on the wall of a dormitory restroom was reported, has ever been made publicly available. Did this incident occur as reported, or was it an immaculate defecation that formed the foundation of an unimaginable deception?
Seems that there is no evidence of the poopstika at all:
Maj. Brian Weimer, the public information officer for the Mizzou police department, told The Federalist that he also did not personally see the poop swastika that was reported to police. When asked if anyone in the police department personally witnessed the swastika, Maj. Weimer clammed up and referred all questions about the incident to the university’s custodian of public records.
It would surprise few should this turn out to be a hoax. If it is, it would be a very costly hoax.
Those on the football team who threatened to strike should be dismissed from the team. There is no right to play football. Click should be terminated.
This is nuts. The University of Missouri has become a fetid cesspool of political correctness. It is a complete laughingstock.
DrJohn has been a health care professional for more than 30 years. In addition to clinical practice he has done extensive research and has published widely with over 70 original articles and abstracts in the peer-reviewed literature. DrJohn is well known in his field and has lectured on every continent except for Antarctica. He has been married to the same wonderful lady for over 30 years and has three kids- two sons, both of whom are attorneys and one daughter on her way into the field of education.
DrJohn was brought up with the concept that one can do well if one is prepared to work hard but nothing in life is guaranteed.
Except for liberals being foolish.
Pajama boy goes to college, my how fast they grow into poopyheads.
It will be interesting to see if Brigham Young University can kick their butts this week.
The game will be on my local TV because….BYU.
I clicked the BYU football team’s photos and they are majority white with quite a few Hawaiians as well as quite a few Samoans.
It has about ten blacks total, almost all born in Utah, having been on Mormon missions as almost all the team has done.
You MUST be Mormon to get in to BYU.
Only freshmen might not have served as missionaries.
BYU has a terrific record this season, too.
@Nanny G: Many non Mormons have played football for BYU–Q,B Jim McMahon and wide receiver Cody Hoffman come to mind. Their team is good but their schedule relatively weak- should beat Mizzou at home.
** Schedule shows game away at Riverhead Stadium Kansas City Mo.–I’ll take Tigers to upset the BYU Cougars.

And the thought police activate the wimps
@Rich Wheeler:
You are correct with a caveat.
If you go there you must live under the morality codes of Mormons, no alcohol, no sex unless you’re married, curfews, etc.
Add to that the entire Mormon student body and teaching staff make you a missionary project.
They also scrutinize every aspect of your personal life.
Professors can and have been prejudicial in grading, too.
Many smaller classes are ”open to all,” but only Mormons get accepted 100% every year.
If you do something anti-Mormon, like publish photos of Mormon men w/o their shirts your diploma might be yanked!
Back in the 60s, there were protests on all college campuses by crazy leftist hippies who eventually became the leaders of this country today. Can you imagine what will happen when these ivy league totalitarians take over America?
“I feel pretty isolated,” said Yacim, who is black. “It is a predominantly white institution. And as a black student, there are times when i feel out of place. Seeing that minority students on campus can stick together and make things happen has been a really great experience.”
Well, cupcake, if this upsets you, you can always drive a few miles south to Jefferson City, where there is a FREAKING ALL_BLACK UNIVERSITY JUST FOR YOU!
It’s called Lincoln University… if it hasn’t failed yet.
If you don’t like the way that white people run their schools, then you attend your schools, and let us attend ours. In company with Asians and other high achievers.
I am so sick of this.
When did a bunch of butthurt basket-weaving jocks become qualified to run a university? Oh, I forgot, it’s Mizzou, where Athletics trump everything.
in an age when cell cameras are everywhere, why are there no photos of the swastika?
Because the poor fragile little snowflakes would have had to actually handle some yucky feces to create one, that’s why.
Gah. I’m glad I transferred out of there before I graduated. I’d be ashamed to have UMC on my diploma.
Butthurt?? Yeah the President did get dpanked pretty hard
It’s almost like the customers of the university are in charge
The rightwing has turned out to be a paper tiger they fold up or blue away
All that tough talk you see posted here??? Guess what it is nothing but hot air
And yes tge kudzu are the future, your day has passed
This is the end of college football as we have known it…
There is no way for the college football teams to now avoid the politics and just play the game.. . they will be forced to take positions that others want them to or else lose support and be punished for it, making the support nothing but the result of ideological blackmail
Anyone besides me realize that a person working for a living and having a full career can start their career 10 years before someone is even born and last beyond 10 years after they enter the work force? so the displacement of older people ALWAYS happens slower than the creation of new people coming up unless populations collapse, requiring new people for new positions.. (and the same with a growing economy as new businesses and enterprises need new people).
just doin the math…
@Petercat:
If you went to Mizzou, then you know the nickname, Misery U.
Now the die has been cast. Football players, who are getting a free ride simply because of their agility on the field, will be dictating to universities how they want that university to be run.
Mizzou should be forced to put 5’2″ Asian women on it’s football team, all in the name of “diversity” to wait and see how long it takes the current players to start screaming because a team is “merit” based (i.e. how well you play football) not based on “diversity.”
If black Americans represent around 9% of our population, and Mizzou has a black student body of around 8%, where’s the beef?
It’s time these special little snowflakes are shown what the adult world is all about. You can’t make the grades, (you know, merit) you don’t get admission to the university. It’s that simple. I guess they think when they get into the adult work where they have to work, if they don’t like the color the break room is painted, they can strike and still keep their jobs.
Everyone of those striking football players should have their scholarship contracts cancelled and should be sent packing. No proof of any swastika can be found, in the dorm or any other place. No proof of any racial slurs have been substantiated. Now, not one, but two sacrificial heads have been laid at the alter of political correctness.
Well, you know how those frat rats are; they probably cleaned it up immediately, as they were doing their daily cleaning of the entire dorm.
Really. There were “reports” that some white guy called some black guys the “N” word. There were “reports” that some white guy disrupted the rehearsal of a black play. And, the report of the shitika on the floor.
Remember, there were 21 “eye witnesses” that “saw” Michael Brown shot in the back as he ran away with his hands up, surrendering.
This is why liberals want free college for everyone; so every youth in America can be indoctrinated to this kind of crap.
@Artfldgr: No play, no scholarship. No scholarship, no free ride; back to McDonalds.
This started with Ferguson. You scream “RACISM” loudly enough, even though you are screaming known lies, will get what you want. Burn down your own community over non-compliance with your lying demands and the “guilty” will rebuild it (so the threat of follow-on violence is real). This will take force, violence and bloodshed to reverse and set aright. Thanks, liberals.
@Nanny G: Luckily it’s a choice to go there. Rich, thanks for your service!!
@retire05: #10
I was 38 when I went there, having traveled the world including some pretty rough places. I despised the jocks, and didn’t put up with their crap.
Most of the non-jocks thought I was pretty cool.
I learned to despise (most) jocks in high school. The one exception was the Big Man On Campus, football captain, rich as hell, dating the head cheerleader, etc, etc. He was just such a decent guy that everybody liked him, even the antisocial types like me.
Weird, huh?
Was this whole thing a set up?
The Blaze reports:
Then there’s this:
Here’s an example of the kind of resume this university hires to teach these young people. This is Melissa Click’s the woman who tried to stop a reporter on campus.

@Mully: Even THAT’s not worth $15 an hour.
Missouri upsets BYU 20-16—celebrate with retiring coach!
@Rich Wheeler: #19
But at this point in time, what difference does it make?
@Petercat: Makes a difference to those athletes.
Another great day of College Football filled with upsets.
@Ditto
All built on lies, but its the liberals being eaten by their young. Seems the right wing is still rising and we will advise the kiddies that they have choices to make and we are not going to fund them.
@kitt: #22
You mean when they enter the real world and find that employers expect results?
And lenders expect repayment?
And no one cares about their feelings?
@Petercat: Well yes we are a bunch of self centered bastids that want to keep what we worked for. We have to make choices everyday that affect our future and live with consequences of those choices. Long past time to take the pacifier out of their mouths and potty train them.
