Adrian Peterson Says NFL “Modern Day Slavery”

Adrian Peterson is creating a stir with a comment he made comparing the NFL to slavery.  The NFL and the players are in a heated battle over a new contact and obviously tensions are high, but AP needs to watch what he says, a comment like that hurts his cause and makes him look really ignorant. See the quote after the break.

Adrian Peterson took part in a new online reality show called "Double Take" recently and he did some interviews to accompany his appearance.

ESPN.com's Kevin Seifert provided a link to a transcript of an interview Peterson did with Doug Farrar of Yahoosports.com. In the interview, Peterson reportedly referred to the NFL as "modern-day slavery" and that players are getting "robbed."

This was in reference to questions about the NFL lockout. Peterson conducted the interview soon after the players union decertified last week.
