A Male Perspective: "STAND UP!"

Black athletes on the University of Missouri football team recently stood up in protest for a continuing pattern of racial discrimination.  This course of action took courage because they had a lot to lose.  I applaud both the players and their coaches for supporting a long-standing student protest against the slow-moving administration dedicated to maintaining the status quo. The result: People in power realized change MUST take place.  I wonder what changes we could make if we put our own self interests aside and summoned the type of courage it took for these students, athletes, and coaches to STAND UP!
