So “a trial for paid roles” is now the euphemism for slavery in the modern capitalist system? They should pull their Olympic contract and band them from all public contracts for years. But of course the opposite will happen.
band=ban — although having them banded them in public not a bad idea either…
Not to mention “intern” which didn’t appear to exist, except in the medical profession, 30 years ago. Even new-grads were paid back then even though it took a while for them to become useful.
