Outline · [ Standard ] · Linear+ Vikings GM: Not ruling out that Peterson, has played his last game with franchise

[sasports]

IF THEY CUT PETERSON OVER THIS STEAMING PILE OF HORSE EXCREMENT I WILL BE ONE OF THE MANY FANS THAT THE VIKINGS WILL LOSE.


Vikings GM stated that all options are on the table and they are not ruling out the possibility that AP has played his last game with the Vikings Franchise.

Thanks to Ray Rice's woman beating self, the NFL is going to start being stupid about little things and ruining players careers over nothing.

Guess its time to only care about College again!

[bravesfan09]

I haaaaaad to draft him in fantasy...

[cbware88]

[bravesfan09]

Jerry Jones is praying to satan right now.

the NFL is going to start being stupid about little things

I'm not sure how beating a woman, or a child, could be considered "little things". Don't get me wrong, I'm all for busting your kid's butts when they get out of line. At the same time, though, I feel like there is definitely a difference between a spanking and a beating. I don't know all the details of the case, but I certainly wouldn't allow anyone who would/could beat a woman or child to play on my team.

[sasports]

Since when did spanking a child constitute 4 felony charges? Obviously he didnt hurt the kid because if he had it wouldnt have taken 4 months for this to come to light. This is obviously a case of him being Railroaded for no reason. Some idiot DA is trying to make a name for himself. I dont give to squirts of a runny crap what anyone says. This is a trumped up charge and if it had been you or me we wouldn't even be getting a ticket. But because he is high profile and has money he is being targeted.

By no means am I saying that abuse it a "little thing" but lets get real here. Spanking a child with a switch is only a crime when it benefits the people bringing the charges.

Here is a novel idea, lets focus on the real criminals and stop going after decent people.

Oh, and if spanking a child with a switch and leaving a mark is abuse, better start building WAY bigger prisons because the majority of adults who had parents that gave a crap about them have probably had welts for days if they stepped out of line.

[mjda]

I'm not sure whether he beat the kid or not. My point is simply that IF he did, I wouldn't want him on my team. You don't know whether he did or not, either. You're just assuming he didn't. Maybe you're right, and chances are that you are, but there is a chance that you're not and until the truth comes out I think the Vikings are making the right move.

Furthermore, if you think you have to spank a kid hard enough that it leaves welts to get the point across, or to let them you know you "give a crap", you are extremely mistaken. Spanking a kid that hard is very unnecessary. My kids are some of the most well behaved kids you could ever be around. They're both at the top of their class in grades and conduct. While they have both been spanked, I can assure you that they've never been spanked hard enough to leave welts.

There's a big difference between spanking a child and hitting him 14 times with a switch. Whether he intended to abuse the child or not, that's abuse.

this just in AP will play Sunday as the Vikings have put him back on the team

I have seen the "photos" and I am all for punishing a child when they do wrong, but "IF" those photos are legit he should get the same treatment. The kid is bleeding from those marks, there is a point where as a parent we have to use restraint and it appears he clearly did not. He used as much restraint as Ray Rice did in knocking out his GF. I am not sure he should loose his career, but if it were you or I we would be facing jail time which means we would loose our job and if you got probabtion you probably wouldn't be allowed to work a job involving activities with kids. Beyond that Michael Vick got 2 years for abusing dogs, aren't humans a higher standard than dogs? (I know some dogs are better than people).

[sasports]

Pictures can be tampered with. When this first came out, the allegations were abuse due to reddened welts left from the switch. If he were actually bleeding, Im pretty sure they would have done something about it way before 4 months later.

Im sorry, but I met Adrian way before he was famous. I was a fan of his when he was playing in HS. I have played against him in backyard games. I just don't see him loosing his cool enough to have done that much damage to a child.

[mjda]

I agree completely, Brian. As I said, I'm not sure the details of the case. I'm not sure whether he did it or not, or whether those pictures are real or not. IF he did do it, though, there should be punishment and in my opinion that punishment should be equal to, or greater than, what Ray Rice received.

I'm sure the same could be said about a lot of people who do stupid stuff like this until it actually happens.

He gone until resolved Vikings put him on the Exempt commissioner permission list what ever that is

I think that is just a way for a team to avoid losing the player if he were to go to jail? They said Vick was on the same list after he came out of prison for the first two games of the season.

What I don't understand is how he is still getting paid until it is resolved in court, at least according to the article I read. That doesn't make sense to me, but it's not my money. The article I read also said other sponsors are upset with recent doings in the NFL and some of his jerseys were pulled off of shelves in some stores.

Moral of the story:

Innocent until proven guilty: Unless your famous, then your just guilty because the fickle public says so.

Nike has suspend his contract AP

Oh please...He's still getting paid and he's not in prison. Obviously Aaron Hernandez is a much more serious case, but if he was out on bond do you think he should be able to play until his case goes to trial too?

[northicehero99]

But yet other football players (not mentioning any names here) can be accused of Rape and its blows over after a couple weeks     Of course, said player threw money at the problem to make it go away........

If said player is who I think you mean, remember he got 4 games for just being accused (more than Ray Rice) and it never went to trial and it lasted for several months at least from what I recall. Not sure if it went away because it was paid to go away or if the case was too weak to prosecute. Based on the sworn statement it appeared the "victim" was seriously intoxicated. Still if that happened it wasn't right, however, I think both were of the age of consent too, not a child, and there never was any real evidence presented in the public proving her side of the story. It was more of a he said, she said case. I wasn't there so I can't say what happened, but there are a lot of people who still are bitter over this and would like him out of the league. Maybe this just shows the NFL is finally trying to get it right or the court of public opinion is weighing more heavily in this case! They took out Vick, but then others have gotten away with domestic abuse and other crimes, so there never has been any consistency with punishments leveled by the NFL.

Not playing isn't the issue I was reffering to. Yes he is accused, so being sidelined with pay is reasonable. Pulling Jerseys from your shelves and all of the idiotic accusations that everyone is posting across all of the forums is what I am talking about.
