Vikings star RB Adrian Peterson indicted in child injury case | MyFoxHouston

Sources told FOX 26 Sports Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson has been indicted in Montgomery County for reckless or negligent injury to a child.​

Hope it's nothing, but either way this is by far the most ****ed up off-field NFL week I can remember

Let's let this all play out before we rush to judgment, though. Without veering into apologist territory, we just don't know what happened yet.

Quick! Suspend him!

Not a good week for the NFL to begin with and now their poster boy RB gets indicted on injury to a child

 

[DefenseRules]

Wow, unbelievable. I hope that this is not true. I love children. I really don't like people who hurt kids. I hope that this is not as bad as the story seems because I really like Peterson.

This has been a crazy week in the NFL.

 

[shmessy]

HOLY CRAP.

What the hell is happening?

Enough. I'm completely sick of this kind of thing.

Quick! Suspend him!

Not trying to be a Richard, but I don't know if this is a laughing matter.

That third week in July, 2013 was x100 worse imo.

This is concerning to see considering this happened just a year ago: http://www.usatoday.com/story/sport...rian-peterson-son-critical-condition/2966015/

There is one thing worse than a man abusing a woman and that is a man abusing a child. Without knowing the details, it is tough to know what went on, but if Peterson conscious hurt one of his kids a suspension isn't warranted - a firing squad is.

Is this the child that died? I need to do me some googlin'....

EDIT: OK now my memory has been jogged. Doesn't seem that this is related to that.

His son died in South Dakota and he was indicted today in Texas. Probably different incidents.

This was no joke. The only laughing matter is our run defense.

My first thought was to wonder if the indictment was related to this. I would have to assume not for a lot of reasons, but very bizarre all around.

Yeah which is what I find so concerning because he has already lost one child, and now it appears that another child is in some type of harms way.

"what the h***'s going on out here?"

 

[TBR]

Sounds easy to say because we play the Vikings next - but I don't think he should be allowed to play Sunday

I agree. That was the son he didn't even know he had until shortly before he died, so IMHO chances are Peterson was not involved in that. Otherwise, the indictment would have been for something worse, likely manslaughter.

I dunno, I think it's way too early to say that. Let the courts work it out, that's what they're there for. And if it turns out that there's anything to it, then ban him.

Although with the current state of the NFL, nothing would surprise me.

Honestly, the fact that it is likely another one of his children is worse than it being the same one in my opinion, because he did not take care of the one that was killed and now this other child is being abused. Maybe he should consider a vasectomy.
