I'm crying crocodile tears over the conditions these poor oppressed victims of NFL team-owners greed are forced to tolerate. I wonder if they could afford slave quarters like this(Reggie Bush's Crib)if they were forced to survive using their BS Degrees in the Physiology of Exercise - full "scholarship".

I can’t recall the $50 million contracts the slaves got. Could someone refresh my memory?

So, they’re kidnapped by Arabs, crammed in the leaky hold of a ship, and then all the fruits of their labors go to someone else?
Get another job.

"Yahoo's Doug Farrar, who conducted the interview Friday with Peterson, removed that comment from the story later Tuesday, explaining on Twitter that he wants to give Peterson the chance to provide context."

Hmmmmm, I wonder if ol' Dougie would have done the same edit job for a comment by an owner saying something equally absurd??? Just sayin'.

It would be highly offensive to say what Peterson said at any time...but with the employment/economic situation as it is right now, his statement is really ridiculous

Already over-rated and over-paid and probably never to match his best year to date. A nitwit, too, but who’d a thunk otherwise.

Obviously no sense of history.

The NFL owners are treating the players the same way carpetbaggers treated the black minstrels. (Which is what I’ve always likened pro-sports to...)

And Peterson is considered “cerebral”. Like a bag of hammers.

What a bunch of over priveleged, under achieving a-holes the players are! Lock them out and bus in the replacement players. Who cares? The players need to take stock of their situation. If the NFL closed up shop today the owners could just go back to doing whatever it was that made them rich enough to buy a team in the first place. Most of the players, on the other hand, would be lucky to get hired as construction laborers. Not a real big demand these days for illiterate under achievers.

I thought modern-day slavery

was illegal aliens hired by Americans for less than minimum wage? Time for the NFL to eliminate collective bargaining privileges, free agency and endorsement deals for players. I hope they deal themselves right into another Scab-League season. It's not really the players we enjoy watching, it's the Uniforms!

These premadonas better be careful or they will experience a strike by the fans.

A middle class family of four can hardly afford to attend a game live.

Parking $15-$20, tickets $50+ per, $20 per for concession = $300 bucks for a two hour game. No souvenirs.

Uh....no! To go watch a bunch of egomaniac premadonas run around on field chasing a guy with a ball some of which are nothing more than ghetto thugs plucked out of their hood to generate $$$$

Just callin it like it is.

if there’s a lockout, the owners could plant cotton on the fields
