NFL = slavery

Has this been discussed?

Multimillionaire running back Adrian Peterson compares working in the NFL to 'modern day slavery'. Wow. Yeah there were so many millionaire celebrity slaves living the good life.

Sounds like AP has taken too many hits to his head.

All this bullshit between the players and the owners is just about the rich vs. the richer. The NFL has a great product,and I'm a fan of it, but I could really give a shit less if of bunch of cry-baby bitch players and owners come to a agreement or not,as it has no effect on me or any other U.S. citizen that goes to work everyday just to stay afloat and pay his bills.

Adrian Peterson.....1st millionare slave I've ever heard of :tap:

From an OU fan and former Adrian Peterson fan, his comments were very disappointing...

I would happily accept the league minimum and I woul play with INJURIES, and not need an agent.

ticket prices could be lower, the game would be more honest, and more players would be playing from the heart..

I love football, but disgusted with the players and their actions. Whinning they are not paid enough or whinning they have a broken finger and cant play.

average life joe football and sports are what we need again...

They cant because 99% of them got a degree that they cant use because they were pushed along for 4 years. Funny how every athelete that is good makes it to graduation.

I think it would be funny as hell if the owners just shit canned them or traded them when they start bitchin about money. Just laugh in their face and recruit a college senior for 1/4 of the amount of money.

No shit. I haven't heard of any other business where the workers can strike because the owners don't share the corporate profits with the employees. In my profession, I get paid what I agreed to get paid when I signed on. And I don't renegotiate my salary if I performed as expected, and I don't go on strike if I don't get more than my agreed to salary. Send all the punks back down to the real world. Crappy jobs, little pay, no posse of ass kissing yes men, no hordes of whores, and certainly no millions of dollars. Bah.

Do you act like you kick ass even when you "drop the ball" so to speak? Or when you do something that you are paid to do (like catch a ball), do you act like you need to be paid more? NOPER! lol

They act like its such a big deal to catch a ball, its what they are paid to do. It would be like me running up and down an office slapping hands for posting a journal entry.

Heh. Hell yeah. Tomorrow when I kick that program's ass I am gonna spike my computer and thank God and trash talk the loser in the cubicle next to me! Then I will refuse to come back to work tomorrow until they give me a raise, since I succeeded in doing exactly what they hired me to do in the first place!

Hey now I have punched my laptop before when I kicked the program's ass. I was standing 10 feet tall until I looked around. I noticed people were looking at me like I was a freak. I sat back in my $2 piece o crap chair they pay for and just smiled. Yes I kicked its arse... People just did not see the middle finger in front of the screen...

Sorry you hit a sore spot there.. :p

If there is no season, you get to lay claim that your team is the defending chumps that much longer.

I can do that.
The packers are like the squirrel from Ice Age because they spend more time chasing the nut than holding onto it

This is the sort of shit that makes a lot of people nowadays just not have an interest in professional sports anymore. I talk to people fairly frequently who say something to the effect of " I dont follow xyz sport anymore, the money is out of control and I'm just strugglign to keep my head above water"

everyone in this industry is over paid. And its because of all the suckers out there that pay for the tickets, the t-shirts, the hats.... the list goes on and on. End result, dumb ass little kids think that they don't need an education because they are going to grow up and play some kind of ball. In the end, most will play with their cell mates balls. What roll models we have this day an age.
