Except they aren't forced to play, got full rides to college, negotiate their own contracts, love playing the game, get paid lots of money and are idolized by millions. Yeah, I see the comparison.

Slaves weren't forced to work, they could run away, or just disobey their master. Same with NFL players. You don't have to work. You're totally free to become homeless and die from starvation.

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.
