Can you explain what you mean? Slaves didn't get paid. We're having a hard time understanding what your point is.

They own the rights to their players football services. That's how contracts work.

They "own" the players because they're paying them millions of dollars, and those players generally do not have skills to make anywhere near the same amount of money in any other field. The amount of money they make is greater than 99% of the population.

The only reason why this is even an argument is because athletes are basically stars. They're famous. They're show ponies, and they are rewarded greatly for it. Nobody gives a shit that Disney has extremely strict diets for their stars so they can fit in the roles they are paying millions of dollars for.

"You do what the fuck I tell y'all to do. Or we get rid of y'all."

That's called employment.

Two key ways in which it differs from slavery is that it is voluntary and you are paid for your services.

Did LeBron ever have a "real job" or did he go straight to basketball? He may be legitimately unaware of what the working world is like. In most situations, you can't just say or do anything and everything you'd like and still get paid the next day.
