Spartans had a economy built off slavery. Persians had an economy built of slavary.
Persians weren't fighting to free spartan slaves, but to expand their slave base and empire over the various greek city states.

Didn't say Persia was fighting to overthrow Spartan slavery... that's not how they operated. However, by the time Xerxes was trying to conquer Greece they had diversified away from a slave economy, while Sparta had not.

Anyway we're well beyond the joke. It was a tongue and cheek shot at anyone rooting for Sparty tonight.
