But do note the definition in Wiki:

Slavery (also called thralldom) is a social-economic system under which certain persons — known as slaves — are deprived of personal freedom and compelled to work.

Slaves are held against their will from the time of their capture, purchase, or birth, and are deprived of the right to leave, to refuse to work, or to receive compensation (such as wages) in return for their labor. As such, slavery is one form of unfree labor.

Obviously the wage element is there somewhere for one to defy what 'slave' is!!!!

Ronaldo was only HELD at UNITED cos he has a contractual obligation to meet, and is NEVER deprived of the right to leave arising out of a slavery sense! Get over it!
Wikipedia, as usual, doesn't know its arse from its elbow.
