How do you not know that gladiator fights used slaves?
You're right, gladiators were categorically slaves - however there were people that freely chose to become gladiators ( and therefore "willingly", or at least were not forced by threat of torture/death, became slaves). I agree with you, I was trying to make the point that it ( and the NFL, to your point) are bad even if people have a choice in participating.
