Makes me wonder if ANY of these NFL stars would be able to maintain the lifestyle they are use to now on our meager salaries/hourly wages. I don't think so. AP has a choice... if he doesn't like the 'modern-day slavery' he is in, then he should quit if he has it so bad. The thing about slavery is that slaves don't have the choice to quit, not do they live in luxury by carrying a ball over a white line for point. AP has lost some of my respect.
I'm to the point of saying, 'screw professional football.' Semi-Pro ball is starting up with tryouts and practice. There is Arena League Football on now. Come Fall you can always hit the local high school on Friday night and watch kids play for the love of the game, or sit down on Saturday and enjoy some college ball.
Just my .02 cents....

I mean this not as an offense, but actually as a compliment.
If I was a Vikings fan, I would quit watching football if there wasn't a season. Flat out quit.
You guys endure too much, not winning, an egocentric owner (true, not a la JJ or Snyder, but still), and one of the most disfunctional organizations in football. Plus the constant teasing of very good teams losing in freakish ways.
Sure, a lot of your fans DESERVE this, with their lunacy of conspiracy theories, constant whining and delusions of fabricated greatness (though that may be a byproduct of enduring through all the forementioned).
But the few of you that are actually intelligent, educated fans, it must be freaking hell to endure all this. Sure, it's not the Lions, but still.
