From "Slavery" to "Gestapo"

[Mr. Scot]

In the wake of Adrian Peterson's comparison of playing in the league to slavery, we now have former Giants receiver Amani Toomer on ESPN comparing the way that Roger Goodell administers the league's personal conduct policy to the Gestapo :eek:

Valid point about the commissioner, or another stupid statement by a player?

[Fiz]

probably meant brown shirts which is pretty apt imho

[Fiz]

i mean there's like 4 americans that could tell you the difference between brown shirts and gestapo and like einsatzgruppen or whatever

[Fiz]

also mr scot you should probably you know find employment since you're not getting paid to repost everything you read on pft

[TylerVagyler]

I'd say another stupid statement by a player.

[TheRealDeal]

Has a player EVER made a statement that wasn't stupid?

Not on PFT (yet). Just heard it on NFL Live.

Most players just don't get it and most never will.

[Fiz]

I love how hard he comes down on them. Children always bitch and whine when you enforce rules on them after letting them get away with whatever they wanted.

[Mr. Scot]

I'll ask a question someone else (Chris Spielman, I think) once asked.

Is it really that big a deal to ask guy to just not get arrested?

[Fiz]

is it a big enough deal to compare crime rates within the nfl to those of society at large mr scot

will you ever find a job again?

There's plenty of guys like Warrick Dunn, Jordan Gross, Spencer Tillman and such.

Granted, they're probably not as interesting for the media to cover :sosp:

Plax and Peterson thought they were abstract in thier thought, when in reality they were showing thier abstract ignorance.
