Sure, maybe the spruced up the slave quarters a bit, but other then that it pretty much is the same.

Yeah, but he was raised in TX.
Yeah, those older day slaves were living on millions too Adrian you stupid putz.
Learn some history or were you just another moron that skated through the school system because you could run fast?
That was a rhetorical question.
I've talked to people who worked in the fields. This prima donna isn't man enough.

Vikings’ Adrian Peterson compares NFL to ‘modern-day slavery’
There was some ya-hoo from the players crying over the weekend about how the NFL wants them to go back to 2009 salaries.
All I could think of was — so instead of making, say, 10 million this year, you might be making, say, 8 or 9 million. Meanwhile, a huge percentage of your fans have no jobs, no income, are about to lose their homes (if they haven’t already). You ungrateful, arrogant, spoiled brat, greedy POS.
I love my Steelers, but if they don’t play this year, I really don’t care. I survived the last strike some years back. There are always other things you can do. There is even other football. The last strike, my father discovered Canadian football. It was actually fun.
Slaves living in multi-million dollar mansions, driving Ferraris, and throwing 100 dollar bills at strippers.
“If college footbal games are played on Saturday and Sunday I will be happy.”
Amen. The only pro football I watch is the superbowl. College is a much better product for numerous reasons..
This guy is short of a full deck. He’d be mopping floors or running a buffer somewhere if it weren’t for the NFL. To top it off, he’s a racist. I hope the season shuts down and these guys have to experience the real world. This guy is an entitled creep.
“Ryan Grant of the Packers tweeted that he “totally” disagreed with the comments”
I get this feeling that the Packers are the only “team” in the NFL.
As for opening up the books? Well, since the Packers are a corporation, their books should be pretty transparent.
Unlike with the last NFL work stoppage, I don't think anyone will miss this crowd of self-absorbed felons if the NFL were to fire all of them. There is no shortage of people who would want a shot at playing in the NFL, even if it is for a fraction of the wages currently paid.
Hell I actually enjoyed watching the semi pro guys play that year. You never knew what the heck was gonna happen.
Comment from my link ...
“Sorry to inform you Adrian, but slaves didn’t make $4m a year. Maybe we should just give you 40 acres and a mule, and call it even.”
*snicker*
Doesn't Grant know that slaves can't afford advisers?
Sure, maybe the spruced up the slave quarters a bit, but other then that it pretty much is the same.
(Snicker) says this Daytonian.
Hey, Adrian!! Can I see your Super Bowl ring?
Don’t have one?
How about your Onion Ring, then?
Yo, Adrien—who is forcing you to play pro-football? What an idiot. Football at the college level up is a business. The business owners always profit. It’s the nature of capitolism.
