The Wilf family are pieces of ****. They talk about doing the "right" thing. They were never interested in doing the "right" thing. They're not doing the "right" thing now. They're deactivating Peterson again because pressure from sponsors and losing business. This is a business decision. If sponsors didn't start suspending their sponsorship they would have let Adrian Peterson play. They never cared about doing the "right" thing and they sure don't care right now. They had a chance to do the "right" thing and they blew it. They're the scum of the earth as far as I'm concerned. Greedy Bastards.
I'm starting to wonder how many more owners lack a moral compass, how many put business and making more money before doing the right thing. Goodell is a scumbag rat. But the owners and their "fraternity" are the real problem.
Honestly, I don't think they're inherently pieces of **** for caring more about their bottom line than making a moral stand. That makes them amoral at best and immoral at worst, but welcome to corporate America. Ethics only matters to these people when being unethical costs you money.
I just wish they would be honest about it. I wish that one single owner would come out and say "look, our players are a bunch of 20-30 year old men who play a violent sport. A lot of them do dumb, morally reprehensible stuff and get arrested for it. But we're not in the business of putting the most ethical team out on the field every week: we're in the business of trying to win, because winners make more money. So we'll play any player who helps us win and who is allowed--both the league and by the law--to play."
I would respect that owner 100x more than I'd respect someone who claims that he's trying to "do the right thing" when they conveniently unsuspend their admitted child-beating best player.
