As if they didn't know it already, Oakland Raiders players recently found out there are perks to being a professional athlete.
Rapper and actor Ice Cube—who is a Raiders fan—gave the team a sneak peek at his new movie, Straight Outta Compton, on Wednesday night. The movie is set to hit theaters Thursday, but he held a private screening to let players from his favorite team check it out before the general public.
