This essentially sums up why we have a lock out. Or so they say........

What they want is to make more than the owners. Kinda like what happens at GMC. You see how that turned out for the company.

I think if more company's locked out there unions it would make America a lot better.

He does have the right to seek other means of income.

I like AP - and I generally agree with his statement UNTIL he dropped that slavery bomb.

We've done a lot to get past the whole race thing here and something like that is disgusting, ignorant, and for lack of a better word; retarded.

Not to mention it alienates fans.

I think it's funny that in the same sentence you speak against racism and then get all non-pc and call something retarded. :D

I'm not offended by it...just think it's funny.

is there football yet

[jasonluckydog]

It's Obamas fault

A better comment would be a comparison to 1 early 1900's child labor in steel mills and such.

Where big dogs get rich and their employees work for much less in unsafe conditions.

and even that is a stretch

[Grammer]

if its soooo bad, why doesnt he leave?

hes going to be one of those guys who dont invest in his money, gets poor, then blames the nfl for his hardships

[frash.exe]

so i guess AP thinks his ancestors got the early 1800's equivalent of 17 million guaranteed for working the plantations

The process is likely slavery. First the combine is like a slave market measuring testing and prodding. Then you get drafted by a team and are stuck there for years without a chance to leave. But after that it doesnt compare.

[Jangler]

yeah, but slaves don't fumble the ball, they know what happens when they do.
