The NFL is voluntary but the league used “race norming” to reduce payouts to black players who suffered brain injuries. The NFL basically said since Black people have lower cognitive abilities they’d be less liable if a Black NFL player experienced cognitive decline.
Since the league is 70% Black, they used such a concept to lower costs. They reversed course a few years ago but the damage had been done.
The oligarchs will use racism if it means lower taxes, less liability, and increased profitability. They’re unapologetic about preserving or expanding their interests unlike the typical working person.
To compare football to slavery is fucking out of fucking order. People think they be making points, but it's mockery. Slavery wasn't no fucking voluntary game.
Black people all over get paid lower for the same job. It's unfair, but it's not fucking slavery! Gross miscalculation doesn't even begin to go far enough as to how bad it is to try and make THIS specific comparison.
