University of Missouri’s football team may not play this Saturday, which could incur a $1 million penalty to be paid to Brigham Young University due to their scheduling contract:

Due to what they deem inadequate administrative responses to racist incidents on campus, black players on the University of Missouri’s football will “stop participating in football activities” until college president Tim Wolfe resigns.

The news was announced via Twitter last evening.

“The athletes of color on the University of Missouri football team truly believe ‘Injustice Anywhere is a threat to Justice Everywhere. 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’ experiences. WE ARE UNITED!!!!!”
