The Missouri football team plans to honor the victims of Monday’s St. Louis school shooting at its next game Saturday. Three people, including the shooter, died and seven were injured in the attack at Central Visual and Performing Arts High School.
Tigers coach Eliah Drinkwitz expressed sorrow over the incident and said he hopes that honoring the victims can lead to change in the community.
“Just such a shame for us to continue to have to face these types of stories and issues,” he said, via Mizzou Sports Talk. “For me, it’s not political at all. It’s about protecting the future of our country, and our children are our future. And we cannot continue to live like this. We just can’t. I talked to our staff and talked to my wife about it all the time. It’s not about who’s right. It’s about what’s right. And we need to get this right.”
