Modern slavery

The present day United States is bringing back slavery but this time it is by popular demand. During the hay day of the Roman Empire the big sport was watching gladiators fighting it out in the great arenas of the day. Some gladiators were volunteers who risked their legal and social standing and their lives by appearing in the arena. Most were despised as slaves, schooled under harsh conditions, socially marginalized, and segregated even in death. Today over 70% of the players in the NFL are black and if you look at starting lineups the percentage is higher. Eliminate the kickers and the percent goes up. Recent studies have shown that there are serious life time health problems associated with the game and over time this will have a profound influence on who the future players will be. Mothers who read the reports of damage caused by head injuries are moving their boys away from the sport. There is a good chance that in the future the game will be played by minorities, mostly blacks. When that day comes we will have the Roman aristocrats, mostly white, sitting in the stands watching the gladiators, mostly black, bashing their heads together in the arena, field.
