College is complete and utter exploitation of free labor. It's not a good example to use in defending your argument. A majority of college players will never make it to the NFL and never make anything near the millions of dollars they generate for public, non-profit, taxpayer-subsidized universities.
Contracts aren't even guaranteed in the NFL, it's the worst of the Big 4 of sports in America. There's also an incredibly small salary cap. Their union should be ashamed of themselves.
I'm sure some slaves enjoyed picking cotton. Still exploited.

Well I guess I will just have to disagree with you then. Having the natural ability and talents to be a NFL player sounds good to me.
With your line of reasoning anything anyone does is some type of slavery so the discussion about the NFL is irrelevant. Unless you are playing EQ 24/7 or sitting on the couch doing nothing while others provide your welfare I guess you are a slave.
