*Kapernick is right on this one. Are you really this stupid?*

You draftnicks are easily led. The draft is a big production where all these athletes, mostly black, dress up and get big hugs from friends and family + the commissioner. It’s the NFL showing off. ‘Blacks have structure-see?’ The 300k fans showing up in Nashville are part of the problem. Then there’s the public paying for the stadiums.

This Netflicks special will be shown to push buttons. As long as there’s an element of truth that can’t be denied we have to respect it. I respected Goldwater for saying the civil rights act took away one’s freedom of association. That was true and the truth will set you free. It’s not somebody else’s truth.

I'm not, as you put it, a "draftnick." I'm not even a football fan. But I am educated and do know what actual slavery is. Participating in the NFL draft is about as far from the real thing as our sun is to the next nearest star.

You, apparently, are not sufficiently educated to know the difference between slavery vs. voluntarily participating in a method used to allocate talented athletes to a limited number of entities that can use those talents while at the same time making the athletes multimillionaires. Those athletes voluntarily train their entire lives for the opportunity to be drafted into the NFL. And you call that "slavery."

True slavery is the practice of forcing a person to work for no pay; to obey all commands from a master or risk severe punishment; to be bought and sold like livestock; and to lose all freedom, even the most basic of personal life choices.

If you are incapable of grasping the difference between a sports draft and true slavery, you are indeed stupid.
