Episode Details

Kansas dropped a fiery rivalry video against Missouri that went viral — but for all the wrong reasons. Tapping into Civil War history and labeling Missouri “evil” for its past as a slave state, the clip sparked outrage. Even more ironic? The music was by Metro Boomin, a native of Missouri. While college rivalries thrive on passion, this crossed a line — especially since many players are Black and didn’t choose football because of slavery. The message felt tone-deaf, historically inaccurate, and disrespectful. It’s a reminder that even in sports, context matters — and sometimes, hype can backfire.
