Yeah, I was gonna say... Pretty sure Mizzou started falling apart long before kneeling was a problem.
When he signed a NLI with Iowa State, Lazard did not relinquish his political free speech right guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. Driver, clerk, lawyer, doctor . . . or student athlete, First Amendment protection applies. Period.
How specifically did a player protest spark the demise of Missouri football? Did it give Pinkel cancer and make him retire? Did it cause the administration to hire a god-awful football coach? Did it erode their recruiting base?
At what point do you accept that Mizzou went to s*** before the boycott? All the evidence you need is widely available.
No doubt. Still though, there's an opt-in forum for politics on CF. It's pretty convenient for those that choose to discuss politics.
Please post the data. My information is that Mizzou had recently won back to back divisional titles in the Southeastern Conference and were going to bowl games up until the skipping practice debacle.
P.S. Do you think players skipping practice was a factor that might have led to the decline of the program? The answer is obvious.
Well as long as everyone's priorities are in order, JFC.
The bottom line for me with Lazard is this: the idea that Campbell could have or should have had any bearing on what he felt free to say (especially, but not just, in a non-football setting) is asinine. And really, if people believe that, it should be the final nail in the coffin of the student-athlete myth. Forming and expressing your own opinions like an adult is a key part of the college experience and all should be able to do so whether or not they are an athlete on scholarship, whether or not some jackass on a message board agrees with it.
How is Missouri football doing? For ****'s sake. If Missouri can't field a winning football team without killing their player's ability to have a backbone and take a stand if they feel called, they don't deserve a winning football team. And if we can't do it here, maybe we don't either. Campbell is in the right, shouldn't have even been a question.

Just saying don't just look at the missouri football team's downturn look at the whole university, however this one tweet and response is apples to oranges different than what happened at Mizzou

FACTS? OWE NO! Prepare for irrelevant dribble and from the usual posters.
He had 2 good years (down years for the rest of the East) followed and proceeded both by a not-good year, and then Odom happened. We aren't talking Natty's here, were talking the SEC East. Odom further tanked a program that didn't have a very positive outlook to start with.
And yes, skipping practice doesn't really help a team, but sharing political views off the field doesn't hurt anybody but those who are thin-skinned about their own beliefs.
