But the slavery comparison is a bad one, hence why it's used exclusively by dumb running backs, despite the fact they play the position in sports least fairly compensated. --- All generalizations are false, including this one. ...

Contract itself isn't slavery. I'm pretty sure owners of slaves traded contracts to each other. It wasn't a slave to master contract relationship.
In any case, a lack of contract and still maintaining some degree of ownership over a person's action is slavery --- "Iwata was awesome" - Mr. Nintendo https://imgur.com/krtFHol ... Copied to Clipboard!

Yes, sports teams are literally the same thing as slavery. I can't think of any two concepts that are more alike. The dictionary companies need to erase the current definition of slavery and replace it with "See Sports".

What degree of ownership does a Team Owner have over their Players (employees)? It is a 100% voluntary association.They have partial ownership of a player's skill set and time (as I've said "ownership over a person's action"), but they bought those goods with money with explicit agreement from the player in contract form. If the player doesn't provide the Team Owners with the contracted effort like not showing up to games for a whole season or something, they can be sued or not be paid if it wasn't in advance. Yeah the whole topic is stupid, but calling a contract slavery is beyond stupid because they represent two very different things. --- "Iwata was awesome" - Mr. Nintendo https://imgur.com/krtFHol ...

the thing that really permeates this (aside from the "owner" term which really just refers to the organization) is that there's kind of a storied history of there being a lot of shithead racist owners in sports.
the texans owner, who died recently, used a euphemism likening players to inmates other notable ones also include donald sterling of course, and marge schott in the 90's who was basically a sitcom caricature of a racist, rich, out of touch bitch. even with all the stories of her calling her own players racial slurs, or being a nazi sympathizer, my favorite anecdode is after a baseball game was postponed due to an ump dying in the middle of it, she said this: "Snow this morning and now this. I don't believe it. I feel cheated. This isn't supposed to happen to us, not in Cincinnati. This is our history, our tradition, our team. Nobody feels worse than me." honestly she needs a comedic biopic or something --- https://imgur.com/HUHxlFl You act like I don't know my own way home ... Copied to Clipboard!

Unless they're student athletes. there's also a disturbing amount of people who say that they only care about college sports because they "play for real love of the game" unlike the pros who only care about money and showboating. i'm sure it's also just a coincidence that the only sports this really applies to are basketball and football where blacks are most prevalent --- https://imgur.com/HUHxlFl You act like I don't know my own way home ...

Unless they're student athletes. They get plenty. They get free schooling for four years. With the cost of school now, when they graduate, they are SIGNIFICANTLY ahead of the average college graduate by simply not having to pay back a school loan. Dont get me wrong....the system is a real clusterfuck and plenty of people leach off the prominent elite student athletes to enrich themselves. But 99% of scholarship athletes will never sniff the pros, and they make out like bandits by getting a free ride because they were good enough at a sport, while our medical students, teachers, etc pay out the ass in student loans. ...
