Adrian Peterson: NFL is like "modern-day slavery"
Adrian Peterson took part in a new online reality show called "Double Take" recently and he did some interviews to accompany his appearance.
ESPN.com's Kevin Seifert provided a link to a transcript of an interview Peterson did with Doug Farrar of Yahoosports.com. In the interview, Peterson reportedly referred to the NFL as "modern-day slavery" and that players are getting "robbed." This was in reference to questions about the NFL lockout. Peterson conducted the interview soon after the players union decertified last week. http://www.startribune.com/sports/vi...118019104.html |

Someone else made the same analogy a few years ago. Perhaps it's time to free these poor souls of the tyranny of wealth.
It's really an affront to the people who lived and died as slaves.

What a joke.
Go to a training camp and see how much these idiots are pampered. And that's supposed to be the hardest part of their year.

Has Adrian Peterson ever had a real job? Hell, what was his GPA?

He should ask his dad what it's like being a prison bitch? That's more like being a slave, I'd say.

That's incredibly offensive. Some of these players are making it difficult to desire anything but a lopsided victory for the owners.

Well, apparently being a highly talented and gifted athlete does not preclude one from being a complete ****ing idiot. What an insult. I can't believe there are not a large group of intelligent black people who are wishing he would just shut the hell up.
It's amazing. Politicians being out of touch makes sense to me. They were mostly born with a silver spoon in their mouths. But I'd think most NFL players had to work pretty hard to get where they are. It's amazing that they could be so out of touch as to make a ludicrous statement like that.
