Is professional sports in the U. S. an extension of plantation (slavery)

I think this is more of a personal opinion. I dont think that it is "slavery" in the traditional way we think of it back when people owned slaves. I was going to play college golf but i decided not to because when you sign those papers, the university "owns you" in the sense that youll do whatever they want because theyre letting you go to college for free in exchange for your athletic ability.

Answer: this is more of an opinion question, so what do u think
