It is probably unfair to compare slaves with National Football League (NFL) players as depicted in the image of the Haitian Neg Marron (runaway slave) with Colin Kaepernick. However, lately a lot of parallels have been drawn between slavery and the NFL’s players/owners relationship. The comparison has been made in different sectors in our society, whether explicitly mentioned in the book Forty Million Dollar Slaves (or uttered by some NFL players during interviews); or implicitly expressed in the popular movie Get Out-a fictional story of black bodies being used for either personal or financial gains.
