Roddy White Lashes Out at Twitter Follower

NFL star Roddy White would like you to know that working on Labor Day sucks, no matter what your occupation is.

The wide receiver for the Atlanta Falcons got into a bit of a tiff with a Twitter follower (with a private Twitter page) who insinuated that White had no right to complain about working on Labor Day because what he does — playing football — isn’t really work.

White fired back, calling the Twitterer a peasant. White later said that the word choice may have been too strong but defended his indignation.

It's Labor Day we working
