The NFLPA's lockout fund, created by funds set aside during the 2009 and 2010 seasons, will be unlocked on April 15.
Only players on NFL rosters for the entirety of the 2009 and 2010 seasons will be eligible for the maximum payment of $60,000. Second-year players and fringe talents will receive even less. That money won't last long when "modern-day slaves" like Dez Bryant start hitting the jewelry stores. Owners will have all of the leverage if the players' April 6 injunction request isn't granted.

The NFL labor situation is "modern-day slavery," according to Minnesota Vikings star Adrian Peterson.

The running back's explosive comments were quoted in a Yahoo! Sports story last Friday, the same day the NFL Players Association decertified and the NFL owners subsequently locked out the players.

NO AP it's not, slaves were not paid millions of dollars.

Free agent RB Patrick Cobbs is latest player to support Adrian Peterson's comments comparing the NFL to "modern-day slavery."
"I wouldn't say slave. But we are at the mercy of [owners]," Cobbs said. "Obviously, we all love to play the game. But I think at times we are slaves. They tell us to jump and we jump. ... I can see where [Peterson] is coming from. So that's like slaves. But we're not slaves because we get paid pretty well to do it." This preposterous message has been so consistent that it suggests NFLPA leaders have indoctrinated all members with the propaganda. Source: Miami Herald

I'm jumping on the " slave bandwagon". I'm a slave to my electric bill. I'm a slave to my mortgage. I'm a slave to my job. I could go on and on but it sounds just as stupid as they do for saying it. Wish they would just stfu with all that poor me i'm black shit and grow up. Its old and played out. Think its time to move on.
