I guess we are just going to ignore the fact that these same "inner city" kids have been getting paid (illegally) for the better part of a century. But that's fine.
Why not? (besides the fall on every banana peel on the side of slippery slope mountain justification you've already given) It's called supply and demand. Pretty simple concept. I know most supply-siders like to think the labor market can be treated different than any other market, but when we are talking elite football players, the demand will always outstrip the supply. That the market has been artificially controlled by the demand side for the last 100 years doesn't change the facts as they are - You want an elite football player at your school? You're gonna have to pay up (in 2023... actual, legal, money).
And, you'll notice that neither did I mention a specific race once in my reply. So, the lady doth protest too much, methinks. LOL. That said, I'll play the race card (I guess, if that's what I did) on whomsoever deserves it.
No law need be made. It was an absurd hypothetical meant to do nothing more than respond to your previous absurdity.
