When I think of modern slavery, first thing that comes to mind are not the millions of people around the world who live in labor camps or trafficking victims, but millionaire NBA players who may have to choose between playing for a team they don’t like or getting a normal job.

Dennis Schröder compares the NBA trade deadline to slavery “It’s like modern slavery. It’s modern slavery at the end of the day. Everybody can decide where you’re going, even if you have a contract. Yeah, of course, we make a lot of money and we can feed our families, but at the end of the day if they say, ‘You’re not coming to work tomorrow, you’re going over there,’ they can decide that. They got to change that a little bit.” (Via http://bit.ly/4hnwb86)
