Forgive me if someone else has said this:

He’s probably better off not playing. I have a feeling some defensive players would love nothing more than mete out some justice themselves after seeing those pics.

Did he raise a few welts, or did he leave the kid looking like hamburger? I never spanked with anything but my open hand - but I don't think Peterson did anything comparable to knocking a woman out cold.

I don’t think it’s very small. Those pictures are pretty disturbing and anybody who has seen them would probably rather not be in a position to cheer for him. Yes the Viking only pulled him because of the money, but it’s a business, it exists to make money. People get to moral judgements, and sometimes that gets to direct our spending, which helps businesses figure out the correct path.

If this guy couldn’t carry the rock like he can you never would hear about this case.

>> Cower, run, scamper, bolt, run frantically and chickens—t might be better.

Just like many of the fans tolerating the PC nonsense across the leagues.

I’ll start paying attention when the sociologists at ESPN start talking about the undeniable racial component in the players’ deviant behavior....

The headline is quite “funny” in that NFL fans show up to see marquee members play. The Vikings will realize a reduction in attendance during the time that AP sits.

A “faux-outrage” and “social-conscience” will come back to bite these fools.

He was not given Due Process.

Further, he was reproving his son.

Went a bit far? Sure but, what parent hasn’t.

I never got so much as a welt but, my brother did and he had it coming.

Strong willed and quick witted, he refused to cry during a whooping and would mouth off saying “You can hurt steel!”.

He’s a good man today and an awesome father to his son.

We turned out allright.

6 kids and not a one who is an alcoholic, drug user, never took advantage of another person and very much into helping others.

We all make money. Lots of it and above the table.

Charity, empathetic and guide people to a better path.

My cousins got the switch and a pig whip. Blood was drawn but, they, like use, are very succesful at everything.

We all got the right upbringing and will help just about anyone.

Charity is big with us. Important even.

In fact, we all feel it’s our duty.

Excellence in all endeavors is our goal. We don’t think about it. We just do it and have zero desire for recognition.

It’s a great life if you don’t weaken.

Don’t take life so seriously. It’s not like anyone gets out of this thing alive.

Mistakes happen and a smack on the azs gives you feedback as to what’s right.

Send the guy to some counseling thing if you must but, teach your children what is right, leaving an indelible mark on the mind.

it should torture your mind, so recall what is the right decision.

Seems as if a few dedicated activists with Facebook and Twitter accounts can make the society dance like a marionette on strings.

Did anyone consider the possibility that Adrian Peterson was trying to send a message to Baby Mama rather than discipline the 4-year-old? I believe he sent her a message afterward detailing all the damage. He must resent paying that child support and maybe having to have the kid visit and mix with his “real kids”? He hadn’t even met the 2-year-old son (by another Baby Mama) who was killed last year.
