I’m confused.

Did slaves get multi million dollar contracts based on merit?

Useless. Just who is it that actually goes to these games, sponsors the teams etc? BET? Probably not. Are the wearing P-Diddy sports wear? Probably not. I have no need for arrogant overpaid pro sports players attempting to lecture me about this counry.

How dare they as their employer. Never heard of “slaves’ signing multi-million dollar contracts.

Why would the statements of a guy whose IQ is probably under 80 mean anything?

That’s why LeBomb is a multimillionaire. Because his employers are slave-drivers.

Not quite. Collective bargaining wasn’t quite as good back in those days.

Owners have owner-like mentality.

Sounds perfectly understandable if you have an IQ over 95.

Yeah, that never happens anywhere else in corporate or government employment.

No but they could get bonus pay for bags/day of cotton. /s These assclowns should be grateful they were rescued from a “life of slavery” by these “old white men” with “slave mentality”. Uh, did he possibly mean “slave OWNER mentality”? Intellect is not a strong point with lee brawn. Don’t see him refusing to cash his paycheck because it might be tainted by whitey.

They actually have to DO STUFF in return for the money..?

In a way, it's logical that he's annoyed by this.
