College sports is now about advocacy of loud mouths
If there is any doubt college sports are about nothing but money, the University of Missouri has put that to rest.
A small group decides that race is a problem on campus. The ignorant, let’s feel good about ourselves football players buy in and threaten a boycott. The university caves with the president and chancellor succumbing to their idiotic demands.
Why? Because it would cost them $1 million if the spoiled brats don’t play. That is a big mistake, as the now impressionable, spoiled athletes will be running the circus instead of administrations fixated on income.
College sports are a joke if you think it’s about building strong bodies and minds. It’s all about the money to be made or now the advocacy of a few loud mouths and political correctness. These bums deserve each other.
