Just when you thought the NFL labor fight couldn't get any stranger, Minnesota running back Adrian Peterson decided to give us his two cents. This excerpt is from Profootballtalk.com:
"It’s modern-day slavery, you know?” Peterson said. “People kind of laugh at that, but there are people working at regular jobs who get treated the same way, too. With all the money . . . the owners are trying to get a different percentage, and bring in more money.”
First and foremost, we've all said (or typed) stupid things that we wish we could take back. Hopefully that's how Peterson feels. Having said that, these comments are beyond ridiculous. Modern-day slavery? Really? How much money did you earn last year, Adrian?
Remember it's a business folks, plain and simple. When the financial pie is this big, of course tempers will run a little hot. Of course that doesn't excuse criminal stupidity. I just hope that die-hard fans who are usually "pro player" have the ability to tune this nonsense out.
