Houston Texans RB Arian Foster Puts the Business Side of the NFL on Blast

Houston Texans running back Arian Foster has been doing his talking on the field the last couple weeks. So far when he's 'talked' on Sunday he's talked pretty well, but when it comes to actaully talking to the media he still isn't too crazy about it. He did, however, 'talk' to the world about the current issues of the day plaguing the NFL--domestic violence and the business of the NFL.

In typical Foster fashion he was just a wee bit controversial.

It all started when he commented on Anheuser-Busch being 'concerned' about issues plagueing the NFL of late:

His opinion of the company and its product was pretty clear, but being Arian Foster he couldn't stop at that. He had to take it a step further and draw a comparison that no one saw coming.

Selling poison on that high horse.

Not to mention one that only he probably sees (if anyone else does feel free to explain it in the comment section below). That wasn't the end of it though.

Domestic violence and alcohol damn near synonymous.

When someone tried to give the makers of Budweiser some credit (which was exactly what the company was gunning for) he blasted them too:

You need a company to tell you dv is wrong? RT @eddieb2: Finally a BIG time company taking a public stance AGAINST and you rip them? Huh?

Than he pretty much put everyone on blast for trying to use a pair of scandals to their advantage:

Everybody is just riding the media wave. There has been tons of dv cases throughout the years where was all this support then? Its political

It's hard to argue with this point that could be talking about the NFL, its sponsors, or both:

Anytime it's starts to tinkering with their bottom line, then they act. Now they're concerned.

Foster is an intelligent person that seems to have a knack for expressing his opinion in a way that causes people to take notice. Some would call him inflamatory, but in reality it is just the way he is. He doesn't try to stir the pot. If he doesn't like something he is going to say it. If he sees a wrong being done he is going to point it out.

You may not like what he has to say, but he will make you think.
