Former NFL quarterback and original anthem protester Colin Kaepernick compared the NFL Combine process to a slave auction in Netflix documentary series chronicling his life experiences.
In the series Colin In Black & White, which Kaepernick narrates, he appears in a scene where he talks about NFL prospects being “poked, prodded, and examined” for defects before the NFL Draft. The players at the “combine” then leave the NFL field and enter a mid-1800’s slave auction where white landowners examine slaves for purchase.
In the scene, Kaepernick says this is how “they” establish a “power dynamic.” The scene closes with the NFL coach and slave auctioneer shaking hands against the backdrop of bonded slaves.
NFL prospects are not whipped or beaten into submission. And, not to mention, those players being “examined” will be compensated with the kind of wealth that most people can scarcely even conceive of, while the grand prize for a slave at auction in the mid-1800s was a lifetime of penniless servitude and torture.
Colin Kaepernick exercised his freedom – freedom no slave ever had – to walk away from a multimillion-dollar contract in San Francisco after spending the 2016 season protesting America and smearing the police. But, then, because we live in a truly sick society, the anti-capitalist Kaepernick was then able to parlay that foolery and the kind of mind-numbingly insulting and foolish “reason” he exhibited in the above clip into a $20 million financial empire built almost entirely on corporate sponsorships after leaving the NFL.

So by this logic Jackie Robinson sold Blacks race back into slavery by breaking the color barrier in professional sports..
as previously only white could be pro sport slaves
I love the Kermit memes.
You misspelled Raped
I agree. The NFL is a slave trading company. They should make every football player just apply for any openings. They go through the interview process and drug testing. Then if offered job, they take it at the salary offered or they don’t. Then they can get rid of agents.
Good point.
