Jalen Rose claims NBA and NFL salary restrictions are a ‘residue of slavery’
Published on March 11, 2026.
Former NBA player, Jalen Rose, has claimed that salary caps in professional sports and restrictions preventing athletes from entering leagues straight out of high school are a "residue of slavery". He stated that only black led sports are the only ones with salary caps, and that they have no after-high-school restriction. This suggests that slavery may have been involved in these decisions. However, BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock responded by stating that the National Hockey League has the highest salary cap in all sports.
