Legendary running back Emmitt Smith is not happy with his alma mater.

After the University of Florida eliminated its Diversity, Equity and Inclusion department and fired the 13 employees that previously made up the department, per Kevin Brockway of the Gainesville Sun, Smith took to social media to say he was "utterly disgusted" by the decision:

"We cannot continue to believe and trust that a team of leaders all made up of the same background will make the right decision when it comes to equality and diversity," Smith wrote.
