Yeah...just like pretty much every other job on the planet except the Dalai Lama and the Pope.

I wonder what it feels like to go through life thinking every single person on the planet who says something you don't like is a racist.

They are more than welcome to quit and go flip burgers or join the oversaturated life insurance salesmen field.
The sense of entitlement is staggering. I’m entitled to your millions no matter what I do and say you bigot!!

“And the word that comes to my mind?and I don’t care who doesn’t like me using it?is plantation,” Mr. Wilbon said on Monday’s show. “The players are here to serve me, and they will do what I want. No matter how much I pay them, they are not equal to me. That’s what this says to me and mine.”
That's weird, it almost sounds like being employed

No, Wilbon. It’s like a company. My company doesn’t let me bring a firearm into the office. That’s perfectly legal, but not allowed by my company. I don’t consider it similar to a plantation.
Absolutely 100% right.
You know what it's also like? When his own company "benched" jemele hill for saying things they didn't want her to say. Why didn't he call out ESPN like he did Jerry for making a business decision?

How are these 6-7 figure athletes slaves again?

I'd like to work on this Jones plantation. Sounds better than 99.9999999999% of all jobs in America. Work Only 3 months a year and pull in more money than some CEOs as a league minimum earner. Only catch is I have stand for the national anthem at a public sporting event...like most people never had a problem with before 2017...

It's this strange obsession with athletes and celebs - that they can be different from everyone else in the workplace.
Apparently, they have an inherent right to speak out and disparage their employer's brand or business.
They are the delicate geniuses - nobody can question them and they don't have to play by societies' rules like every other Joe Shmoe who has to do what Boss man says.
So...by the Wilbon's definition...are we all slaves?
If so...where's the protest for the white collar oppressed?

Jerry is bending over ESPN as we speak. First Jemele with her bullshite and now Wilbon?
Posted on 10/10/17 at 5:26 pm to mizzoubuckeyeiowa
I’d say the people who work 80 hour weeks salaried are much closer to slaves than any pro athlete

Honestly I sort of thought the same thing or at least I knew people were going to compare it to slavery.

Then you’re just as stupid as wilbon and hill

Slaves didn't get paid so there's that
Posted on 10/10/17 at 5:41 pm to CarolinaGamecock99
It is exactly like slavery......
Minus the whole paying them millions of dollars....
And beating them.....
And mansions instead of slave cottages
But other than that it’s basucally the same thing as slavery

He's a commentator, he's supposed to get a rise out of the gullible and dumb. You bit. That says a lot more about you then it does him
