Took my breath away.
Lawyers for the @NCAA are arguing in legal documents that we obtained that they don’t have to pay student athletes because the 13th Amendment allows unpaid slave labor.
Yes, I’m serious.https://theintercept.com/2018/02/22/ncaa-student-athletes-unpaid-prison/ …
5. When you can, read Vanskike v. Peters in full. Read the footnotes too. See where the courts ruled that inmates don't have to be paid or even treated according to all federal employment rules for their work BECAUSE OF THE 13TH AMENDMENT.https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/appellate-courts/F2/974/806/437621/ …
pay the players, but your interpretation is very wrong, both of this case and Vanskike. you've been duped by the plaintiff's lawyer
I know you've seen 13th but for the followers of the thread. So where have these student athletes been convicted of a crime? And what gives NCAA state power to enslave?pic.twitter.com/7AcSNOQyCu
your reading of Vanskike is VERY flawed. Vanskike was an FLSA case brought by a prisoner. while the court held that prisoners did not need to be paid minimum wage, it specifically held that (due to 13th Am) they could NOT be forced to work for free. you’re misunderstanding this
But they weren't SENTENCED to involuntary servitude, so that can't be taken as "as punishment" right?
