The agent for Minnesota Vikings RB Adrian Peterson defended his client on Tuesday after Yahoo Sports published some controversial remarks from Peterson.

Peterson told Yahoo, in comments about the NFL lockout, that playing in the league was akin to "modern-day slavery."

Agent Ben Dogra, who said that Peterson was traveling to Africa on a charity mission, asked that people not take those words literally.
Adrian Peterson
CAPTION
By Andrew Weber, US Presswire

He told the Minneapolis Star-Tribune:

"I think anybody that knows Adrian knows that Adrian is a very strong-willed and passionate individual. The game means an awful lot to him. People should not just take his statements per se word by word. It's a difficult time. He would love to play. I'm sure that everybody would love to see football continue in the NFL and I'm sure at some point it will get resolved. But Adrian, that's what makes him great. He's soft-spoken but if he has something on his mind he'll speak it. But I think nobody should really look at those words and take them out of context."

^^^A bunch of greedy fucking athletes that are beyond well compensated for fucking athletics. It's a bunch of shit that they are demanding profit sharing from the owners, fuck them, the owners are the ones providing the avenues for them to perform and become national celebrities and over paid and over adored "heroes". No where else in the workforce can employees hold out on their employers to demand part of the profits, hence the Unions are only in control of 12% of the American workforce these days, people are replaceable everywhere, except for sports because of the name value that comes with known athletes.

Ok, you seem to be anti-union, and I get that, but owners who don't lift a finger, and make 300,000 a year OFF THE TOP from these guys, plus an additional 40% of an 8 billion dollar pie, and who now want MORE? Who's fucking greedy here? Low end players make 50k a year (what teachers make who actually do something for the betterment of society, ugh but thats another discussion) and they phsycially abuse themselves. Your average player is only in this game for maybe 5 years, and then they don't get paid anymore, where these owners can continue to make money for decades to come....and THEY want more? Give me a break. 50/50 split, each side contributes 5% to older and/or crippled players, and get your asses back out there. Anything else is a farce.

Ummmm.......I think you need to check your facts!
For the 2007 season, minimum salaries in the NFL are: Rookies -$285,000 One Year Veteran -$360,000 Two Year Veteran -$435,000 Three Year Veteran -$510,000 Four to Six Year Veteran -$595,000 Seven to Nine Year Veteran -$720,000 Ten+ Year Veteran -$820,000.

And that was as of 2007 not sure what it is today.

yeah, now cut all of those in half because it goes for taxes and take a huge chunk out for health care; that's NOTHING compared to what the owners make.

 

[KenFan4life]

I got an idea....Superbowl winning team gets a blow job from all the owners.......

that way, the owners can get physically abused and make money?
