“What’s being exposed by this pandemic is … they are in a situation where they don’t want to be exposed by the fact that they’re treating these kids like employees even though they have made an entire economy off of their free labor,” Jemele Hill says.

They should all boycott playing sports for the man. That'll show'em!

More MSM lies

Disgusting behaviour to say the least.

Unpopular opinion: college student-athletes are being tested and contact traced WAY more than the general student body. Cancelling their season does almost nothing to minimize the infection risk. And you're removing their best incentive to isolate from others.

Not free labor. They get a college education for it. And it's also a dream come true to play college sports for most kids.

Justin Fields seems well qualified to be Trump’s new head of President’s Council on Physical Fitness. He can use his skills to order body bags for Big 10 ball players in school colors. Get off the field and into the classroom, with a mask!

having an education paid for with the possibility of getting paid in the NFL.. it's not free labor. these guys love the sport, if they feel it is free labor, they can always drop out and get a real job making sure I get extra pickles on my burger.

There is a hell of a lot being exposed by this pandemic across all sectors from domestic community right to the White House. Inclusive of this 'exploitation' of children through to teenagers with sport. If you look closely, this is decades / generations in the making.

Redshirt everybody and spend one year educating young people rather than exploiting them.

Stupid take by jemelehill for several reasons. 1. The collleges are not getting free labor and it’s stupid to suggest otherwise. Coming from ESPN you’d think a little intellectual honesty would be warranted as opposed to flat-out lies. 2. These players WANT to play.

football should be canceled for the season

STAND UP N FIGHT YOUNG ONES.. You might be the only ones that can...

What he did this time?

Dumb people say dumb things

They are not going to want to pay the class action lawsuit that will come in 20-25 years when these young players discover medical issues related to their exposure to COVID-19.

Slavery

Idk how difficult this is to understand but... Kids. Want. To. Play.

School reopen updates -New CDC guidance says COVID rates in children is increasing -GA reported its youngest COVID fatality, a 7-yr-old boy -8,250 kids, (18% of total), have tested +ve since Aug 1, 2020. -AZ school district cancels plans to reopen schools

How do we differentiate amateur and professional sports then? Those kids are not being forced to play.

Free labor? Tell that to a man who is chasing glory. Their labor is their dedication, you tell them that doesn't pay off.

They get about a half million dollars in a free education, they are the most privileged people on college campuses, they are living their dream, and they are being groomed to be millionaire athletes. So shut the fuck up with this bullshit.

SUPER CIVIL WAR YEAR 2024 ...!!!

EXACTLY!! ..if the players are not pro's and should be happy to have scholarships and opportunity to play College Football.. then give all proceeds ..ALL FOOTBALL PROCEEDS to charity, to school districts.. to other schools... College coaches take less pay.. no shoes contracts

Their future to live is more important. It also depends on each individual circumstance. First thing that must be done is get an handle on it. As simple as wearing a mask. You do want to reopen our economy? Use common sense!! Stop the spread!! Can't open until we control spread.

I watched that interview and it was powerful. The TV people want college players to play for the money, and Republicans want the kids to play so we can all pretend that everything is normal. We must wait until Covid 19 is under control.

American football is a horror show. The athletes are the only ones I have any goddamn respect for.

The kids are welcome to quit and pay for college via student loans (or cash money) like the rest of us. Nobody forces them to play ball, just in case anybody forgot.

jemelehill always keeps it 💯. Always.

Duh.

Lost me at Jemele Hill says.
