Minnesota Vikings all-Pro running back Adrian Peterson missed a mandatory tram practice Friday. Peterson was busy attending 'Adrian Peterson Day' in his home town of Palestine, Texas. Vikings coach Brad Childress was not happy about Peterson's absence, especially because he was not notified by Peterson that he would not be able to attend the mandatory practice. The article went on to mention how many of the Vikings' returniong starters were missing from this spring's practices for a variety of reasons.
This article grabbed my eye because I can't believe how many star athletes feel that they are exempt from mandatory team functions. Yes, Adrian Peterson is one of the best players in the NFL, but he is still a member of the Vikings and therefore is trequired to go to their team functions, no matter how many honorary days are set up for him. I enjoyed the article and it was well written.
