I am not a sports fan and I discover more like-minded people every day. I have never been football fan and the way the sports teams bid for players looks a whole lot like enslavement.
Are the players paid? Yes.
Are they free? Hmmmmm…….. They only seem to have freedom within the spoken and unspoken rules of the owners. Colin Kaepernick and the way the NFL mistreated him is my reference. I don’t know why football fans still exist especially considering why the owners crushed Mr. Kaepernick’s career. But here’s a list of 57 movies and documentaries we can watch instead:
