Open Letter to NFL Owners/Players

I am not taking sides on the NFL lockout, but I would like to weigh in on some player comments and plead with both sides to get it resolved....now!
I am genuinely concerned that Congress may repeal the 1st Amendment based on recent comments from Andrian Peterson and other players.
Namely, comparing his plight (and $7 million contract) to modern day slavery. Are you f-ing serious?
We are only a couple weeks away from NFLers of the Hebrew Nation making Holocaust references or intellectual NFL players quoting Revenge of the Nerds. When will it all end?!?!?
And where was this circus animal's agent (or posse members) to duct tape his mouth (and/or keyboard) shut. And what about teammate Toby Gerhart who actually attended college classes.
Here are a few of my recommendations that NFL owners can use in negotiations to resolve this lockout:
> Mandatory American History classes for players.
> Team viewing of the Roots TV series (and my favorite Toby, aka Kunta Kinte)
> Ban on NFL Twittering unless player parent is present.

An old stand up routine from Eddie Murphy puts these mouth-breathing player comments in very good perspective. Apologies for the colorful language, but it helps get the point across.
