How has Missouri not been pulled into the racist mascot conversation yet?

“Pro-Confederate forces launched guerrilla-style fighting against Union forces and small towns formed “home guards” to protect themselves from guerilla bands. Columbia’s militia named themselves the Missouri Tigers and when the university’s football team was formed in 1890, they adopted the Civil War defenders’ nickname.”
