Missouri athletic department sends, deletes staggeringly bad tweets on diversity

The University of Missouri athletic department apologized Thursday for a pair of comically bad tweets attempting to brag about diversity.

The tweets had graphics of white athletes with badges reading “I am a future doctor” and “I am a future corporate financier” and black athletes reading “I am an African American woman," “I value equality” and “I am a brother.”
