And the colleges who give the blacks a free education, make millions off of the efforts of the athletes. While the athletes themselves can't except a free hamburger. Plus, they have focused their entire future on the game, when a single injury can end it all. And then? They are tossed aside.
jesus christ!!
they get to go to COLLEGE for free or at lower cost--and that's BAD????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!???
jesus--what more do they want?
they have it much better than I do where I work for almost nothing compared to the money the owner makes [ and the sports players are making a LOT more than he is! ]
sorry buddy---it's the way of the world--the people with the money call the shots.
You make it sound as if college athletics only gives blacks a free ride.
And yes, your boss or company owner makes more than you. But you ARE paid. The average college education, at an in-state public college is just under $25k. That is $6,250 per year for the athlete. Most report practicing or working out for 30 hours per week. Take 2 weeks away for Xmas, and a week for Spring Break, and cut 3 weeks for various holidays, and you have 46 weeks of working for their sport. That means their "pay" for their efforts comes to roughly $136 per week. Or a shade over $4.50 an hour. And none of that includes time spent on academics.
