AP Calls Current Situation like "modern-day slavery"



I did a serous double take when I saw this ... then I did a second one... (that makes four takes for those of you keeping track at home)... but after looking and clicking the link... yep sure enough...the story was still there. This is the craziest thing I have heard this week.... but according to PFT Adrian Peterson is "Lashing out at Owners" and is calling

“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.”

Comparing the situation NFL players find themselves in to slavery is an unfortunate choice of words on Peterson’s part, but Peterson clearly feels passionately about the players’ case in the ongoing labor dispute.

and if that wasn't enough drama for on conversation... he also said the "F" word...

No not that F word... the other one... you know the one that used to play QB in NY, Atlanta and Green Bay.

For the record I consider AP a modern day runningbackgod and and example of a stand up model great guy..... but this??

here is the link again to the Full story at PFT.
