January 1, Sports Salary Caps Face New Scrutiny Over Alleged Racial Roots

Wyatt’s Take

• Jalen Rose claims salary caps target Black-led sports like NBA and NFL, but skips NHL’s cap with Black players.
• Calls college eligibility rules residue of slavery since owners get free labor years.
• Praises high school NBA stars like Kobe but ignores busts like Kwame Brown.

Former NBA star Jalen Rose sparked talk on a podcast.

He said salary caps exist only in Black-led leagues.

only sports that have salary caps are Black led

He named MLB, NASCAR, golf and tennis without caps.

Rose tied no high school exit rules to slavery.

that’s a residue of slavery because we’re going to get money off of you for multiple years for free

He cheered name, image and likeness pay for college kids.

But added players still feed the system.

if you notice, you still got to pay the system

Rose griped about NFL’s three-year post-high school rule.

He hailed Kobe Bryant and Kevin Garnett jumping straight to NBA.

High school baseball draftees grind in minors first.

MLB owners may push salary caps in next labor talks.

Players stand against it.

Folks, real Americans see through these wild claims.

Time to focus on merit, not gripes.
