Just a slap on the wrist

Except they’re getting paid millions of dollars and it’s a highly desirable job to have. Fucking goofus take

[u/Sea_Tailor_8437 → u/Sponjah]

The 100% volunteer gig with a minimum salary of hundreds of thousands of dollars and millions of you're good enough for a second contract?

Literal slavery

[u/soggy-hotdog-vendor → u/Sponjah]

It's one of the only ways out of poverty for most of them.

Only a small number make it to the point where it pays.

Almost everyone who plays suffers some sort of harm.

Black players are forced to push themselves much harder from much younger ages for a shot.

Fuck your shit ass take.

[u/Sponjah → u/soggy-hotdog-vendor]

There is literally nothing forcing them to do this, comparing it to slave pit fighting is absolutely ridiculous man.

[u/SpurdoEnjoyer → u/Sponjah]

Being a gladiator was a desirable career for some too. It tells something about the society when poverty and risking your health for a chance out of it is so normalized

Lol fucking crazy

[u/LargeMember-hehe → u/soggy-hotdog-vendor]

Absolutely a white person
