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.

Kansas State Athletics responded with this message.

K-State Athletics, along with President Myers and University leadership, respect and support our student-athletes in standing up in the fight against racism. At @KState we are a family and we will work together to make our campus community an even better place to call home.
