Vikings RB Adrian Peterson indicted for child abuse; deactivated for Pats game at Minnesota

They should just release him. Granted it is probably too late at this point. They are going to take a huge PR hit.

No, I said that I hope he's never the only person in a position to help an abused kid. Reading is fundamental, homie.

Yeah, dude, because I'm sure he would just stand by and allow child abuse. Seriously, WTF is wrong with you?

I love how any disagreement on immediate protocol means we should turn the person we disagree with into Charles Manson. Not in a sarcastic way, but in a serious way. Hard to take you seriously as the good guy in this thread.

Just in case you forgot, nobody posting in this thread beat up Adrian Peterson's son with a switch.

Do you think my not mentioning the text messages was me trying to manipulate the conversation into making Peterson seem sympathetic? I mean really. Everybody is such a fanatic.

The man faces two years in prison. Even mentioning a willingness to allow the story to further develop before forming a complete judgement has posters alluding to me being a danger to children.

Just absolutely absurd.

""This is why I believe this is a situation for the legal system to get to the bottom of, rather than a lynch mob with a photograph given to them by the almighty television."



There is so much more than your purported 'photograph given by the almighty television'. Seriously, how dishonest of you. YOU may wish these texts away, but they are there and permanent. You are fooling no one.


1) "mad at me about his leg. I got kinda good wit the tail end of the switch.”

2) "felt bad after the fact when I notice the switch was wrapping around hitting I (sic) thigh”

3) “Got him in nuts once I noticed. But I felt so bad, n I’m all tearing that butt up when needed! I start putting them in timeout. N save the whooping for needed memories!”

4) "“Never do I go overboard! But all my kids will know, hey daddy has the biggie heart but don’t play no games when it comes to acting right.”

5) “Be still n take ya whooping he would have saved the scare (scar).

I have no idea why they thought it was a good idea to activate him on Sunday. Complete failure in their part.

Ahhhh I get it. He must let his kids go nuts because he thinks abusing them is appalling. No middle ground.

This guy is a dirtbag, plain and simple. I'm Also pretty sure that you and SB39 are as well.

Wow. Comparing a child abuser to someone you disagree with on a sports forum message board.

What a despicable statement from a scumbag with warped priorities. Congratulations on achieving a new low. I'm, sure you're proud of yourself.

No, he's being an @22hole the way he's responding to other posters who doesn't share the same exact views as him.

If he's an @22hole, chances are his kids are asshats as well.

Keep in mind, no one is supporting child abuse here. Some would rather wait for due process to runs it's course, which I think should be respected if that is their position.

You misspelled "Sorry I misquoted you."

Hey, no reason for you and I to fight. I meant what I said about those two. Their steadfast refusal to even acknowledge the extent of the evidence and Peterson's own admissions makes me doubt that they'd even recognize an abuse situation. Have you looked at how hard they're fighting to not acknowledge what we already know?

At any rate, if it makes you feel better to believe that I don't discipline my kids at all because I a) don't hit them, and b) don't fight like Hell to defend a child abuser, have at it. You'd be wrong. A couple hours ago, the dentist went out of his way to tell me how great my son was during his appointment. The dentist.

It's amazing how you're pissed at me for judging those two for what they say on a forum, but then go right ahead and judge my kids for what I say. That's pretty hypocritical.

I think people in here think that was some sort of official forum when it sure looks to me as if it was just an exasperated admin of a fansite none of us ever heard of and therefore have no idea how widely used it was.

I'm not judging anyone for their views. I'm judging because they're determined to not accept the evidence. PATS16N0 keeps saying, "Hey, it's just a picture." Ausbacker started floating the idea that the pictures had been manipulated in some way. Yeah, that's normal.

I almost feel like I should go back through this thread and quote myself a hundred times over just to show how disingenuous you are but you're simply not worth that effort.

Once the sponsors start pulling out, the game is over. Zygie and the Vikings are now cooked.

Gawd, did they completely screw up the handling of this situation.

I know, I know. You have to save your energy to defend AP.

Look, you started off completely ignoring the evidence, you kept saying "it's just a picture and a report." MULTIPLE people called you on it. Then you changed your argument to say that you would hold off judgment until it was determined whether he's a psycho who beats kids all the time or just a swell dad who lost control one time. You've gone out of your way to give AP the benefit of the doubt when there's actually no doubt about what he did.

Still, I just don't care anymore. I don't know you. You mean nothing to me (and vice versa). The only thing I care about is that someone ensures that AP is no longer in a position where he can hurt kids.
