Missouri head football coach Gary Pinkel is in a tough spot with his football team, but he’s definitely responding with leadership.
Hours after the black players on Missouri’s football team announced they were going on strike until university president Tim Wolfe is removed from office, head coach Gary Pinkel tweeted out this photo of the team with a message of united support.
The Mizzou Family stands as one. We are united. We are behind our players. #ConcernedStudent1950 GP pic.twitter.com/fMHbPPTTKl

The Mizzou players are suspending participation in all football-related activities in an attempt to force the university president out after months of complaining about the racist acts perpetrated on the Columbia campus.
