6. Crack Baby Athletic Association
Even though college athletes generate billions of dollars for their schools, their leagues, and the companies they’re involved with, they are not allowed to be compensated. When all the rewards of one’s labors are given to someone else, that’s usually called slavery. South Park decided to demonstrate this with a clever and typically offensive metaphor.
Kyle is conflicted when Cartman convinces him to join the Crack Baby Athletic Association, which video tapes crack addicted babies fighting over balls of crack and sells them. Kyle justifies this by noting the videos bring attention to the issue and some of the money made goes to help the babies. At one point Cartman visits a southern college’s football coach for advice on how to legally not pay his slaves.
