Meanwhile, as we question the character of draft picks...
#2
I hate to bring this up, but there's quite a bit of difference between outright slavery where people and families are ripped apart at the whims of slave masters and guys getting paid multi million dollar paychecks to play a kids game.. if it were true slavery these players would have no players union representation and probably be held in bondage in chains. Guys like Adam Jones would have been lynched surrounded by a bunch of guys in goofy white hoods.. 
Now, is there an element of exploitation that goes on?  Sure, absolutely, but it's strictly voluntary. Last time I checked most slaves didn't get to drive around town in a brand new Porche and make TV commercials to sell athletic shoes and other junk..
