Well then if the special little delicates are tired of being exploited then they can quit. It's not slavery. Nobody is forcing them to do anything.

We got young men and women out here struggling to pay their way through college, working multiple jobs, having no life outside of school and work, getting little to no sleep on a nightly basis and I'm supposed to feel sorry for some spoiled punk athletes most of whom get thousands of dollars worth of free shyt. Boo fukking hoo.
Yeah but the people stuggling aren't making rich white people billions while only getting peanuts. I hope more athletes do stop fukking with college btw.

So we know how to pay people for making money for others all across the world but college sports it's just to complicated :russ:
Can u not read? Colleges ARE NOT making money from sports.. Only the top ones are. And once again if u could read, I am all for the schools making the profits paying their players. It would put an even bigger gap in between Alabama and everyone else.

this is also true :heh:

on the one hand, what's right is right, and im all for correcting it. but on the other hand, lets not act like the stars who should be getting paid are living some life of hardship. i bet that tim tebow coulda walked through the florida campus and had 99% of the chicks there willing to blow him :dead: and he has the complete freedom to not play sports, go to school and sign up for student loans like the rest of us

if the shyt is so bad, let the players protest :yeshrug: sit games. make a statement

Sure racial resentment fuels opposition.
These people argue its fair trade for a scholarship over pay, they get angry that a employee would even ask for a salary. They get foaming at the mouth mad.
Yet you bring up tennis players getting paid, golfers getting paid, they have every excuse in the world

That said although it would hurt, these black kids fueling the NCAA basketball and football cartel need to strike.
IF they sat out a season or 2, they would force the CONFRENCES to make a decision

And they raise no issues, really... until they think, wrong or right, that it might got to some black kid who already has everything handed to him, damn it!
"There it is!"

Edit: Its also funny how much of the argument is based on "Athletes get to fukk girls that I can't...so naw they don't deserve money" :huhldup:

If u pay for your own education, bills, food, etc u would know how valuable it would be to have all of that for free. And your earning power doubles with a degree from a top university vs not having a degree..I don't get how some of y'all are throwing that away like its nothing
