Black football players at the University of Missouri have gone on
strike
demanding
the resignation of the university president, who has not done much
against racism on campus.
They are powerful because they bring in a lot of money to the school,
and they are trying to use this to do some good. Bravo for them, but
I think it is a shame that many Americans are obsessed with the
artificial struggle of football and thus distracted from the real
struggle against the plutocrats.
The strike is getting
support
from others on campus, and the president
has
resigned.
