This is Texas folks, where the value system is somewhat different than ours... to indict someone for child abuse is probably beyond discipline, and into the realm of corporal punishment..
This is serious shyt.. not run of the mill discipline.

Just to clarify, corporal punishment is legal in Texas.
So for them to bring charges against AP indicates that they feel this goes way beyond corporal punishment. I would be flabbergasted if he escaped punishment of any kind.
This is a litmus test for the NFL. Cutting Rice probably will not affect the Ravens win-loss record as he was already in decline and was being used less and less.
However, cutting or suspending AP guarantees that the Vikings will end up in the cellar of the NFC North.
What is more important to them? We'll see.
