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.
