utterly exploited, get no real money, get fake degrees (mostly) and have practically a lottery ticket chance of making the NFL.

It's ridiculous.

And the big-time, national attention getting protest was about presidents admitting white privilege and other rubbish.

At some point you'd think players would get tired of being crippled (or at least dealing with chronic injury) for the remainder of their lives (with no medical coverage) after having entertained millions of fans at the college level, and getting next to nothing for it.

The TV networks, the colleges and the conferences are happy right now, and they're all, all of them, no better than the robber barons of the late 1800s.

And yet no one seems to care or even notice.

Time for more fools ball I guess...
