Think about it, they are paid to: have masters,( the coach the general manager etc), they must do whatever their masters say ie dress, apologize for fights or lose the job etc...
Then they get traded or cut at any time at the descretion of whom: THEIR MASTERS; reminds me of slavery
On top of it all they work hard every night trying to win a championship while many of their white teammates sit on the bench and get paid a nice salary for nothing.
In too many ways Professional Athletic Associations symbolize slavery

Welcome to the boards!
I kinda see where you're coming from, but there are a few MAJOR difference: if the athlete doesn't comply with league/team rules, he doesn't get hung and burned in the woods....he doesn't get beat to death with whips that have razor-sharp rocks on them. And most of all: the athlete can leave the game on his OWN terms and not suffer any consequences.
By the way: I edited the title of the thread so it could be a little more understandable. You can't insert HTML code in the title.

When you sit there and think about it thats very true. At one point in history they didn't want us on the same field,court,or ice(they still don't lol)
as them. Then after Jackie Robertson, Jesse Owens broke on to the scene its like everyone wants the black athlete to work for them.Ownership wise though is another story. Why do you think the white people gets a little jumpy when there is a minority(race) owner involved? Masa don't like that!!!!! :lol:

These athletes make millions of dollars workin for the most part have of the year. they live i big houses, drive nice cars, how in the hell does this compare to slavery? Athletes have all the power in pro sports (with the exception of the nfl). the players can dictate where they play i.e. alonzo mourning and vince carter. why isn't anyone complaining in the white dominated sports, i dont here pro lacross players complaining about how oppressed they are, and they gotta work jobs in the off season because they aint gettin paid nowhere near NBA, NFL, NHL, MLB, and nascar. so please shut that Sh*t up, athletes are not slaves.
