This entire topic is beyond stupid. 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 <cite>legendarylemur posted [p:936751618] in Aren't spo...

In which case they work for free while everyone else makes billions off their blood, sweat and tears 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. <cite>jedisamurai posted [p:936755667] in Aren't spo...
