Kansas State student Jaden McNeil posted this horrendous post mocking George Floyd on Social Media. Many news outlets have been blurring out his name, but this was the original tweet that caused all hell to break loose at Kansas State.

Kansas State wide receiver Joshua Youngblood revealed that the team has come together and will boycott the school until McNeil is dismissed for his “openly racist” tweet.
