Douchebag....
....not a slave, but not terribly bright, either.
Slaves don’t get to pick and choose which of their master’s commands they will obey. Employees may choose to ignore their employers instructions (assuming that the employer’s instructions are both legal and moral), but they will be terminated sooner or later for insubordination

He’s not a nose tackle, either.
Slave no... it was his decision to act as he did. He does understand that his actions do have consequences doesn’t he?
That is why he is living in a free society and is able to make his own decisions - good or bad...
His slave bit was a bit too much and a bit disgusting to actual past slaves (very long ago mind you)!
He wasn’t a slave to his grade school English teacher,either.
He and the useless Reevis can take their act on the road.
This epitomizes what is wrong with America. He says he isn't for sale, yet he took the sale price offered to him. If he really wasn't for sale, then he wouldn't have signed the contract. Haynesworth needs to go move in with Heath Schuler ASAP. He owes every Redskin fan a huge apology.
Poor Albert.
A black man with a backbone wouldn’t employ the racist word “slave.”
If he doesn’t want to perform the job asked of him, give the money back. That is why he isn’t getting sympathy. They’d probably trade him somewhere he’d be happier if he did that. This is on him.
Just wow-— many of us would gladly be a ‘slave’ paid multiple million$ in the NFL. When the football career is over there is plenty of money to spend lots of time enjoying the freedom. Fat mouth Albert deserves slave wages and let another more capable grateful player take his place. The biggest fool is Dan Snyder in letting this thug steal his million$ for services not rendered.
Albert, you’re right, you’re not a slave. You can tell Dan Snyder and Bruce Allen and Mike Shanahan you don’t want to do what you’re being paid to do. And the Dan won’t have body parts cut off you or have you flogged. He can just say, “Fine. I’m voiding your contract. Have a nice life.”
This shows how far we have come in the US when even the black people don’t know the meaning of slavery.
Typical shoddy journalism. The “mandatory” practices were optional although “highly recommended”. Albert Haynesworth was within his rights under his contract to skip them.
Haynesworth is past his prime and wildly overpaid.
But apart from that I don’t sympathize with Coach Shanahan, who in my opinion has acted the part of the arrogant management bully. I’ve met a lot of them during my life as an employee.
The Rams sure were their “Masters” today.
despite the fact that the Redskins have given him $32 million for just over a year of "service". He likely didn't win anyone over with his argument. Here's what he said: "I guess in this world we don't have a lot of people with, like, backbones," Haynesworth said. "Just because somebody pay you money don't mean they'll make you do whatever they want or whatever. I mean, does that mean everything is for sale? I mean, I'm not for sale. Yeah, I signed the contract and got paid a lot of money, but ... that don't mean I'm for sale or a slave or whatever."
