 slavery in the 21st century  it s modernday slavery that is a quote from adrian peterson while visiting africa a whole continent dominated by civil war neverending strife and ethnic cleansing but he wasn rsquo t referring to anything happening in africa no he was referring to the brutal conditions in that horrible place call the united states specifically he was railing against the horrors of the national football league where the owners of the teams make so much more money than the players imagine that a business owner earning more than his employees outrageous isn rsquo t it perhaps adrian doesn rsquo t have an mba but neither do i and this doesn rsquo t seem that hard to figure out but let rsquo s have some sympathy for adrian he is set to make over 10 million next year and what he probably wants is charlie sheen money charlie wants 3 million an episode so maybe adrian would feel more pleased if he made 3 million a game and you can rsquo t buy your own island with a measly 10 million a year what with the cost of mansions and sports cars these days and don rsquo t get me started on flashy chrome rims this is exactly the type of issue that tore the nation apart in 1861 and what hundreds of thousands of americans died for the right for spoiled athletes to complain that they are not rich enough
