The NFL draft is right around the corner. And while many football fans anticipate their team’s success in the lottery, I can’t help but wonder what’s actually going on. On the face of it, sports drafts look like one big elementary school kickball game: 32 captains picking up the very best collegiate athletes giving their city the best chance of winning a championship. In typical dog-and-pony-show fashion, recruiters, coaches and talent scouts analyze, test and scrutinize thousands of men based on their physical and mental aptitudes with respect to their sport. It appears harmless because, after all, if the players perform well, they’ll get paid! What about the players that don’t perform as well as the elite i.e. the vast portion of players in the league? They jeopardize their physical and mental health in the field in hopes of impressing one of these talent scouts so that one day they too will earn a livable wage. Because of this gross discrepancy, I suggest that the NFL draft as well as most professional sports lotteries are conducting a modern day slave auction. Here, then, are 10 reasons professional sports embodies slave trade:
10.) The word “combine“, a building where athletes showcase their football skills prior to the NFL draft, originates from a piece of farm equipment used for harvesting, among other things, cotton.
9.) Nothing is more oppressive than being a reserve for a “Tribe” like the Atlanta Braves, Cincinnati Reds or Cleveland Indians.
8.) Only the cream of the crop are considered for the prestigious free-stater, Yankees.
7.) The physical and emotional abuse athletes put on their bodies just to make a living resembles that of sex traffickers.
6.) There are few trade arrangements that sneak more immigrant workers into the U.S. than the MLB draft.
5.) No team has traded for a Jew since they got out of the slave business in great Exodus.
4.) One award for getting drafted is an indistinguishable, cotton-blend jersey.
3.) 1.2 billion Chinese agree they’d rather be laying track than being picked to play sports.
2.) Undrafted personnel are called free agents.
~and, finally~
1.) Owners are mostly interested in the black ones.
