    God bless the horshoe theory. Some people compare college sports to modern day slavery. Others compare the Ivy League to a brutal dictatorial regime. Insert whichever example you want. Useful idiots for everyone to parade around.

    You obviously didn't watch it. She said they were similar in that freedom of speech is stifled in both places.
    And college sports are similar to slavery in that they both don't get paid. Clarifications don't make those analogies any less fucktarded.
    Free college isn't being paid?

    @GreenRiverGatorz the insanity of wokeness is pretty clear. There's plenty of evidence that it's gone too far, especially on college campuses. Not sure how that compares to college athletics. I'm confused by your analogy.
    There are a lot of liberals who compare college sports to modern day slavery. It's become in vogue to now paint any sort of instance of class inequality as being analogous to modern day slavery. This kind of hyperbole completely misses the mark and makes it easy to dismiss any sort of actual issue that may be buried beneath the hysteria.

    This North Korean soundbite is the same thing, on the other foot. Comparing academia to Kim's regime just makes it all the easier to dismiss legitimate critiques of academia and wokeness run amok.
    Nobody gives a fuck about your fuctarded analogy.
    You sound upset

    To people who struggle with the concept of money, apparently not.

    If college is free, I missed out on that handout. I paid 40k a year for a kid to go to Clemson for his engineering degree. If people think that athletes aren't getting a free education, room, board, free clothing, fan adulation, awesome training table, healthcare, free travel, free professional tutoring, incredible connections, then I think we need to revisit either the meaning of the word free or we need to re-emphasize to our student athletes just what they are getting for playing a stupid sport.

    That’s true. In America, they make it so you cant post on Facebook for a few weeks. In North Korea, they put you in an internment camp or assassinate you (allegedly). That’s similar.

    Wow, you really comprehended the story and nailed it mello. No really. Spot on...............

    A great defense mechanism by the left. Watch, listen and then lie about what was said if it doesn't help your politics. Your example is worthless as usual.
