It is very weak that the player wouldn’t put his name to the quotes.
It sounds like the player is trying to create division within his own team, which tells you he is in fact a horrible teammate.
“As much as we want to say everyone is united, half the team and coaches — black and white — are pissed,” the player, who wished to remain anonymous, told ESPN. “If we were 9-0, this wouldn’t be happening.”
The player, who is white, spoke on the condition of anonymity. Coaches told the team not to talk to the media because they thought the situation “would blow over eventually.”
“Not everyone agrees with the decision [to stop all football activities],” the player said. “Most people are pissed, including the black guys [on the team].”
This isn’t going to blow over.
The racism that has gone on the Missouri campus had been a regional story for a long time, but now it is national and people want answers.
I would not be shocked if the team did not play their next scheduled game if the university president doesn’t resign.
