A group of student athletes at Kansas state University, including the universitys football and womens basketball teams, said they would not play or practice until a student who joked about George Floyd on Twitter is expelled.<\/p>\n

At the center of the controversy is Jaden McNeil, a junior at Kansas State and the founder of nationalist student organization \u201cAmerica First Students<\/a>.\u201d On Thursday afternoon, McNeil wrote \u201cCongratulations to George Floyd on being drug free for an entire month!\u201d<\/p>\n

In response, Kansas State President Richard Myers issued a statement<\/a> on Friday, condemning McNeil of \u201cracism and bigotry\u201d and promising to launch an \u201cimmediate review of the universitys options.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBlack Lives Matter at Kansas State University and we will continue to fight for social justice,\u201d said Myers.<\/p>\n
