NFL great Patrick Peterson says locker room political discourse was 'unnecessary,' most players are uninformed

NFL great Patrick Peterson was not a fan of politics in sports during his illustrious 13-year career.

Peterson, 35, played from 2011-2023, and said he felt the political discourse that took place in locker rooms was not only unnecessary but also uninformed.

"I'm not letting politics dwindle its way into how I'm trying to get my team prepared to beat the Cincinnati Bengals or the Pittsburgh Steelers or whoever it may be. I just felt like it was unnecessary," Peterson told Fox News Digital in a recent interview.
