MSNBC Guest: NCAA Tournament Is ‘Organized Theft of Black Wealth’

‘We all become party to this rank exploitation’

DAVID ZIRIN: "It’s an incredible spectacle. It’s absolutely narcotic. It’s a national obsession.

"Who is wearing the corporate logos as they run up and down the court? It’s players who we are watching and yet they don’t get paid for it and we all become party to this rank exploitation.

"When we stop trying to speak in politically correct language, what we’re looking at is the organized theft of black wealth. And if we want to talk about it more broadly, the organized theft of youth wealth."
