Peterson officially deactivated

[JtmoneyJag 25]

also... after seeing the pictures... i don't know how a medical professional (or the media) can dub those lacerations.... i see scrapes and abrasions...

 

as said earlier... i do not condone this...

 

but it seems like irresponsible journalism when words like BEAT, LACERATIONS, SCROTUM, and BLOODY get plastered all over the headlines.

That was after a week of healing. Also had bruises and there were injury (s) to his scrotum per reports. AP even admitted to that. Anytime someone starts off with I'm not trying to defend him but... they are trying to do exactly what they said they aren't doing.

 

In regards to Serpent per reports he pushed a kid. Not seeing anything about pillow, but regardless that does not give you the right to abuse a child.

[Frozenbeernuts 2,292]

 

Ah typical liberal twat. Make up your own "facts", leave out what you don't like, call other people names and call for their death, then pat yourselves on the back at somehow being morally superior.

 

There are no marks on the kids nuts or ankles. Typical liberal BS. The kid put a pillow over another kid's face, that of course you will leave out though.

 

You people are so retarded it's not even fun trolling you. Like functionally retarded with Downs syndrome level stupid. You know who you are, or maybe you don't, I doubt anything is going on in your brains.

Logically it still doesnt add up. Teach a lesson about violence with violence?

I wouldn't call it defending him... i just think the proposed punishments and ensuing witch hunt will yield a stronger penalty than deserved. (a year long ban, a lifetime ban, a 'bullet in the head' etc...) It would be similar if I said "I'm not trying to defend pot smokers, but i feel the punishment in our country for marijuana use is way too strict"

 

We can all agree that he needs to be punished, he was VERY wrong in what he did, however this has become a snowballing media event in all its salacious and sensational glory. People are calling for his head, and potentially a 'lifetime ban'. Claiming Goodell must do this after the rice scandal... Is that what we have become? All crimes receive equal punishment as long as there is a social media outcry?... Sounds like a mob mentality to me. I also cannot believe they would release those photos... seems like a HIPAA violation to me... and exploitation of a minor

Some people. And some people are crazy. Most people aren't calling for a lifetime ban. People on here are mainly arguing against those who think it is okay to abuse their children. Also, I believe the more that comes out the worse it is going to be for AP. My point is he abused his child and went beyond spanking and it is pretty disgusting what he did. Probably passed down from how he was raised. Year ban, sure. Lifetime ban no. Hopefully he can learn from this and realize the damage he can permanently do to his child psychologically. Otherwise his son is likely to pass child abuse down to his kids and repeat the process.

 

Also all are not agreeing he should be punished. In fact some are encouraging his behavior.

Considering one of his illegit kids was already a death victim due to domestic violence you would think ADP would be last person to perform caning on his kid

You got it all wrong. The boyfriend that killed APs son was just trying to instill some good ol fashioned asswhooping. Its not his fault the kid couldnt handle it. After all, the dude said thats how he was punished back in the day so it must be A OK.

[stonewall 647]

You can't hit one of your friends just because he's a reckless driver who constantly endangers his life and those around him. BUT.....you can whip your 5 year old daughter when she runs out into the street because she put her life and others at risk???

 

-You understand what "formative years" means, I assume.

 

You can't hit your spouse when they mouth off at you, or come home late and drunk. BUT.....if your 12 yr old son came home 3 hours past his curfew smelling of weed, and booze and told you to fock off, you could give him a few licks with a belt????

 

-If done out of love and concern.......you better believe it. Thankfully, my parents cared enough,.

 

Your children are not your whipping posts nor are they outlets for your own aggression.

 

-Correct...that is child abuse. However, a loving and controlled parent spanking their children on the bottom is most certainly not. Quit painting with such a wide brush. It's a destructive tactic, its resounding success at slowly dividing and destroying our nation notwithstanding.

 

STOP HITTING THEM.

 

-Yes......and START SPANKING THEM. Learn the difference. And if you a parent who can't keep your cool when handing out corporal punishment; or if it TRULY doesn't hurt you much worse than your child....than you should not even spank them.

"Learn the difference" that is my issue with AP. He doesn't know the difference. Seems like he wrecklessly just whales away and in his head, he's just parenting. Pathetic.

[RabidSeaCows 99]

Hmmm, this reminds me a little of the Donald Sterling press coverage. Everyone thought he was a bad guy at first, AND HE WAS, but a few months later people started getting uncomfortable about how the evidence was gathered. We didn't like that invasion of privacy too much.

 

I'm in no way saying that this ALLEGED crime compares in anyway to racism because it doesn't. But maybe we should wait, or god-forbid, show patience and sort out the bad reporting from the good reporting before we make Troll judgements.

 

I think the NFL is in trouble with its Public Relations. 3 weeks ago their biggest problems were Pot-smoking RB's, amphetamines and concussions. Now its a lot worse. What they have to understand is "we" as football fans are soon going to have to look our kids in the eye and justify to them how we worship teams that employ athletes that sometime beat THEM and their Mother's.

 

The NFL knows they have a short time span to fix this before it injures their relationship with us, the public. Six Billion dollars a year is a lot of money to throw away for one person. No matter how talented that player is OR what your opinion of the matter is...

I think you may be right, it is up to the adult in charge to instill discipline on his kids in the form of his choice. Sticks, whips, chains, paddles, stones, mouths full of leaves, it's all out of love.

 

It turns rowdy kids into doctors and lawyers and good people.

I dunno, as a Patterson owner in 2 leagues, he needs AP, teams will now only gameplan for Cordarrelle, as they have nobody else on offense that scares them

No AP hurts Patterson, a lot. So I agree.

I allege that he an ADP owner and in denial

[H-man 12]

Is the NFL's effort to improve the league's image by punishing players and coaches more severely with suspensions and fines having the opposite effect by now literally putting a numerical value (# of games suspended, $ amount of fines) on the amount and severity of off-field crimes and amoral behavior that has always run rampant in the NFL?

I agree with whomever posted that the only way you are condoning this is if you are indeed doing this yourself. That or you need psychiatric help.............NOW.

 

Just because it happened to you growing up, doesn't make it right. If that were the case, let's give the child molesters a pass because they may have been victims themselves growing up.

 

And for those calling me a liberal or that I have this opinion because my parents didn't discipline me growing up, you're wrong. Quite the opposite.....I've been in that child's shoes and was raised in foster care because the authorities stepped in. It's you that are proceeding from an ignorant view point. I've lived it...........trust me; whippings like that do more harm than good.

[ralphster 274]

Liberal and conservative alike are taking to the airwaves in mass droves in a rush to judge any/every person who does or says pretty much anything they don't like or isn't part of their plank. The offenders will be vilified and harangued until the next story comes along - its the grist mill of 24hr news. It's become societal now, and will continue to grow ever more important. The court of public opinion is now stronger than due process. Unfortunately.

 

Adrian lost his temper and went overboard disciplining his kid. He likely could benefit from some counseling and some time away from football. Spin docs will come from the Vikes and the NFL and detail his 'rehabilitation' but we'll never ultimately know how it turns out. Hopefully he gets the help he needs.

 

We're never as great as we think ourselves to be, just as we're never as bad as what some may think of us. I don't feel judging anyone by their worst act is a prudent path.

you are exactly right here. The most disturbing part is that he doesn't think he did anything wrong. This wasn't some act out of malice... he though he was properly teaching his son a lesson, and stepped over the line. This is the time for the NFL to smartly enforce its new punishment grade... at least 6 games maybe a year. During this time they need to educate the man about the dangers of his actions and move forward without trying to apease an angry mob of media and interest groups

The beating allegedly resulted in numerous injuries to the child, including cuts and bruises to the child’s back, buttocks, ankles, legs and scrotum, along with defensive wounds to the child’s hands.

 

 

whoever said he didn't hit his nuts, well ADP said he did himself in a text message he did. I think Serpent is the one spreading that lie.

 

 

Got him in nuts once I noticed

 

 

Anyone ever "spank" their kid starting at his back and ending all the way down to their ankles? Did you hit them so hard you made them bleed? Did you ever hit your boy in the nut sack in a fit of rage? While giving the spanking did you go up and down the middle of their thigh?

 

This was not discipline he beat the shiit out of him with a stick.

[RLLD 4,275]

Getting the switch is old school, that was not a sudden anger thing.

 

When I was a kid I had to go find my own branch for the beating I was to receive. Its a seriously old school, back woods style of punishment.

So you agree he needs a suspension and intervention? I think that's what most other people are saying too. Personally I don't want a lifetime ban as that gives him no incentive to change

I think this is domestic violence, doesn that now result in being cut and suspended indefinitely, or is that only what there is a video of the act?

 

[NEWPOSTERGUY! 288]

I'm as conservative as can be, especially here in true blue NYC ... political leanings have FOCK ALL to do with calling this demented twat a .. demented twat.

Cut was the team's choice. Indefinite suspension is likely appropriate here though. "Indefinite" does not equal "permanent" as many seem to think

You are correct, I am well aware of which entity conducted which action. Indefinite does not equal permanent, and yet both actions are excessive, JMHO.

 

Let him play, make a living for his family, but dock him heavily with a big chunk of his pay routed into groups supporting victims of domestic violence. Have him perform community service for those groups etc.

 

There is a better way, people just have to have the courage to chose it.

Meh....pretty easy to tell someone to take the high road when it's not gonna cost you a cent.

 

If AD plays next week, there'll be boycotts and eventually lost sponsors. The NFL won't risk it.

 

Plus, how exactly is he earning a living when you advocate docking him heavily? Doubt the NFLPA is gonna have one of its own out there playing for nothing.

 

I do agree that AD and the NFL in general needs to get out in front of this and raise money/awareness.
