Mizzou is a Cesspool of Negativity

I was a life-long Mizzou fan until the events of last Autumn. During and after the idiocy of CS1950, Melissa Click, and Jana Basler every Mizzou fan (and there were many) within my circle publicly and permanently abandoned ship.

I understand that much of what is posted on message boards is hyperbole so take this for what it's worth. I don't know how the University will recover, or if it's even possible. It is frustrating that a small minority of students could agitate the climate to toxic levels. It's even more frustrating that the administration continues to cave to their every whim.

One cannot speak honestly about this nightmare on Mizzou's message board without being called a "Beaker" or a racist. The party line is to ignore the issue and it will go away. Except, of course, it won't.

That's why lawmakers are involved.
That's why the university is losing millions in donations.
That's why enrollment applications are tanking.

It only took a week or two for Gary Pinkel to kill the program he spent years building. The same group that killed his program now is complemented for interrupting the Board of Curator's meeting.

As per usual, the crybullies whine about those who protest the protests. Meanwhile the University is its own worst enemy. No author could possibly come up with the daily script of negative news that grows naturally at Mizzou.

The school expects fans to love it, but it hates itself.

The culture is toxic from the top down.
