Head shakin’ chuckle John. SHEESH!!!

[NoLibZone]

And he is waiting for the “not his people” to fix it.

Again.

“YOSAH!”

“People might laugh at me for saying this, but I feel like a slave,” Peterson contended. “Sure, there’s six or seven-figure annual salaries, but what about the working conditions? We have to play outdoors most of the time—in the heat, cold, rain or even snow. Meanwhile, most of our fans are sitting at home with their feet up, snacks and drinks at hand. They’re benefiting from our suffering.” “And how many other jobs are there where 200+ lb. guys get to beat on you and it’s legal?” Peterson asked. “I feel like I’m feloniously assaulted every time I carry the ball. I get beat more often than Uncle Tom did by Simon Legree.”

Call the WAAAmbulance, ya freakin' pussy.

A lot of people would kill to get your job.

Literally.

Well, if he keeps his ‘nose’ clean and passes a couple of tests maybe, just maybe, he can qualify for a nice, warm, indoor job at Mickey D’s....

Long shot, but he may just make it.

Problem Solved....

[lonster]

would someone tell this blithering idiot that he can quit and that’s all the difference in the world?

Indentured servitude is closer, but most indentured servants were never paid millions of dollars for playing a game, never mind the marketing contracts.

>>We have to play outdoors most of the time—in the heat, cold, rain or even snow.<<

So does a shoe.

“...“the pain could be eased somewhat if the pay were better.”

OTOH, Adrian could take up bridge and become World Champion. But I doubt if that’s very appealing to him.

[GeronL]

If there is a season this year, AP’s base salary will be more than $10 Million. That is 8 figures... Yo Adrian.... how many fingers am I holding up?...

Hmm Peterson can always change jobs. The thing is what can he do besides football? I wonder if he studied & made sure when his career was over just what he would do. He sure knows how to whine.

[CodeToad]

He can always quit and work fast food.

[wastedyears]

While I wouldn't put a comment like that passed a football player, I still prefer hockey.

Good one, John.

[stilloftyhenight]

LOL Sheesh, exaggerate much Adrian? I don’t think slaves, security guards or soldiers will have much sympathy for you.

[plaidness]

On the one hand, this is a business negotiation and that is capitalism. On the other, it is unions and that is socialism. Hey, but the owners do gang up on the players. But then again, they will kiss the teat of the great players to have them play for their team, so their bravado only goes so far.

Then we have the action. And one hand, the players do get their butt kicked but they also don’t have to do the job. It is not slavery; what a dumb arse comment.

Whahhh, wahhhhh - get the cheese for that whine. Poor boy has to play in the cold and wet. You are a dumbshit who should thank God you have some talent to play a game 1/2 the year for a million dollars rather than working at a Walgreens every day or whatever. Fame, fortune, open doors and all that baby blubbering. Grow the heck up joker!

So, should they get the extra dough? How about pay them by the pound :-)

Poor baby.
You don't need to put up with the terrible conditions, moron.

Get a real job you're qualified for. Try Wendy's.

[VeniVidiVici]

Peterson’s a twerp. If playing in the NFL was truly slavery then his back would be covered with whip marks for all of the fumbles he makes.

NFL “Modern Day Slavery” Says Running Back

"Jump down *KA-CHING!* turn around *KA-CHING!* pick a bale of cotton *KA-CHING!*..."

Oh yes, just like slavery...

[caldera599]

OK, this guy is making me sick. He takes home multi-million dollar paychecks to play a little boy’s game and he says he feels like a slave?

Give me a bloody break.

[USS Alaska]

I know it’s satire but it’s so close to what he said that it is not even funny, just sad.
