The concept of elite slavery describes the practice of abducting and then spending years training and disciplining children, who were then placed in high-level positions, sometimes amassing huge wealth. These features can also be found, though in a different form, in contemporary asymmetric relationships of dependency. The example of professional football reveals similarities and differences in the production of elite bodies.
