There were some slaves that ate lobster, slept in the house, wore fancy clothes. They even got paid. Paid better than northern free workers. Paid enough to buy their freedom. Still made them slaves.
Yet the master got a majority of the wealth they created. They still had to perform backbreaking labor. NFL players create all the value, create all the wealth, they are the product. They are the ones that get traumatic head injuries that will drastically shorten their life. The league simply does not exist without them. Yet they get less than half what the ownership gets.
They're slaves. Lobster-eating slaves, but still slaves.
