NFL players work for half a year and get paid millions which in turn allows them to go live in luxury, go where they want, get away with crimes most of us couldn’t dream of getting away with and screw some of the best looking women on the planet and this fool has the audacity to compare his beef with NFL owners to slavery?!? Where’s Al Sharpton when you really need him?
But Peterson didn’t stop there. Many NFL players feel that they aren’t being treated as business partners, but Peterson chose a different term for the treatment.
“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.”
Yahoo! writer Doug Farrar apparently removed Peterson’s comments for a time shortly after they were published. The quote already had spread across the Internet, however. Yahoo! included an editor’s note Tuesday that said it was reaching out to Peterson for context to his comments.
