They treat them like slaves with the "draft" and being able to "trade" them like the commodities they are. Yes they get paid, but they have to pay them that much because who the FUCK is going to chance brain damage on every play at minimum wage. And trust me, minimum wage is what they would pay them IF they could.
And another thing....they wont even let them smoke pot to alleviate the constant pain they are in, but they can get all the "prescription drugs or alcohol they want. How fucking stupid is that?
Small rant over.
