The NFL Labor Dispute is frustrating to the average fan. Seeing billionaires argue with millionaires about how to split up ridiculous sums of money is, at best, annoying.
Adrian Peterson, in a recent interview with Yahoo!, decided to take it to a new level. In response to questions about working for the NFL, Peterson responded "It's like slavery, you know?"
Really? Being paid many millions of dollars to play and excel at a sport you love is like slavery? Sure, there are some things the NFL does that is not ideal if you are a player. Perhaps they are hypocritical in fining. Perhaps they are only in it for the money and do not treat the players the best. To compare it to slavery, however, is just absolutely ridiculous. Let's get some perspective, Adrian Peterson. Slavery was a terrible crime. Entire lives wasted. Hearing you whine that much about being slightly inconvenienced by a company that yearly pays you 342.85 times more than I make in that same time is... Well, stupid. Enough said.
