Missouri head coach Gary Pinkel is standing by his players.
In the wake of the team’s athletes of color announcing that they would boycott football activities until university President Tim Wolfe resigns, Pinkel tweeted a photo of the entire team with a supportive caption.

The boycott is part of a larger movement to fight racism on campus, including a graduate student going on a hunger strike.
