couple of players are igniting a whole new controversy as we wait and watch. eric shawn is live across the newsroom with more. reporter: jenna, many of the players make millions of dollars and some are huge stars but as the nfl lockout continues to drag on, a few players have actually likened life on the grid iron to being a slave. minnesota vikings running back adrian peterson, he kicked off the controversy by saying, quote, it s modern day slavery, you know a few of us a few others have chimed in like rishar mendenhall, he claimed the nfl and the slave trade, quote, parallel each other but experts say any comparison is ri lick dous ridiculous. the way the contracts are structured, they get injured, they don t get a lot of their money, the teams can cut them at will, but if they sign a contract, they can t break it, it s those sorts of things that lead to the frustrations, i m sure id ran peterson feels, but certainly, it s not slavery. now, as for the nfl, they won t talk a
and last reported, winds were calm. jon: transportation secretary ray la hood reacted to the reports calling the behavior of these sleeping controllers outrageous and ri lick dous. ridiculous. mike boyd is an aviation security analyst. so now the guy in charge of air traffic at the faa, mike, has resigned. is that going to be enough? reporter: well, if it s just a political move to throw him under the bus, but if it s the faa administrator starting to clean house which desperately needs to be done with the air traffic control system, we re moving in the right direction. i just hope this is the first of the people who are going to get fired because the faa air traffic control system is a mess. jon: in what other ways? well, number one, it s way behind the curve in terms of the upgrades we need. obviously, the staffing is not very good. the management. this is not one spot. we re finding cities all across the nation where the graveyard shift is a slumber party and that has to chang
in the past had to do with political activity. megyn: you keep speaking to most of but what about the parts that i m asking about? there have been other things to report about. maybe there isn t something out there that s prosecute maybe there s something that s pressing that warrants this coming out. megyn: they haven t said that. i have thought the same thing but the response is we re not going to tell, happily, we have none of that to report to you this year. it was yes, they haven t changed it, you re supposed to still be reporting it and they said they don t this is the spokesperson, jesse water, who told the daily caller which broke the story , dot com, i don t know why it s taken so long for this report to come out, it will be released soon. what s soon? they re a year late, jonah. first of all, the idea that somehow they re not reporting it because it s only good news about the cleanliness of unions is sort of ri lick dous ridiculous and so is the flasher light stuff
