College Football is Just Like Slavery

Yesterday the attorney representing disgraced slightly inconvenienced former Ohio State Quarterback Terrelle Pryor compared the NCAA rule book to slavery.

Terry James told Sirius/XM’s “Jason & The GM” Show (Yeah, I have no idea what that is either) that the former Buckeye has been given the full Kunta Kinte treatment.

Phillips: “Does Terrelle have any sort of anger or resentment he still holds against coach and the school?”

James: “No, not at all.  Not at all.  I think he understands that he made a mistake that he’s held accountable for.  He wishes he had some things to do over.  Irrespective of how harsh and idiotic we think some of the NCAA rules are they are still on the books.  You know, they had slavery for all those years.  Those rules are still on the books and courts uphold them so until we bring the right lawsuit to go after the NCAA on some of these issues, they stand.”

First of all, let me promise you one thing: Every SINGLE morning sports-talk radio hack in the country is guffawing left and right at this today. Slavery? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? TRY DRIVING A DONUT TRUCK FOR A LIVING, MR. FANCY SOON-TO-BE-MILLIONAIRE QUARTERBACK.

But actually, the more I think about it, the more I think Terry is right. I decided to create a handy chart so that you no longer confuse the two institutions:
