http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2196912-report-adrian-peterson-indicted-for-negligent-injury-to-a-child Don't expect much from this one though... apparently he used a "switch" on his child for punishment. I thought Texas would love that sort of thing. We know it doesn't take much to get an indictment BUT if he scarred the kid... | ||

Whatever you've heard it's worse he has no excuse expecially after he lost a son last year the same way. | ||

Whatever you've heard it's worse he has no excuse expecially after he lost a son last year the same way. I'm not making excuses but that's a pretty common punishment to have grown up with, especially if you had southern parents. Of course most parents aren't NFL running backs. So they tend not to do so much damage on accident. I bet I could ask any of my younger cousins and they have all been whooped with a 'branch'. I don't think it's an effective punishment most of the time (I only think corporal punishment is appropriate to reinforce discussion based punishment about things like darting out in traffic [so like swatting a kid on the behind when they dart away from the car in a busy parking lot.) People assume with money comes some sense but that isn't always the case. Millions of people are going to hit their kids with a switch this year but because they don't have millions and can't make careers by bringing it up (or just flat out see nothing wrong with it) it wont make any headlines and most people wont see any charges. The NFL should offer anger management, parenting, and marriage counseling classes, and if I was a team owner I would require them (when appropriate) if a player was going to join my team. It's a shame this may ruin his career and with the child support payments he has to make (potentially without an NFL career) will break him in no time. All in all the kids life will probably get worse. The CFL or some indoor team may be celebrating the shit out of this though. | ||

Here's a pro tip: if your mom used to hit you with a belt every now and then on the ass it's probably not gonna do anything serious. If you're a fucking professional athlete built for power hitting a kid apparently on the arms/legs/scrotum with a tree branch than yeah you're gonna mess the kid up. There's a line and I think he crossed it. (note I haven't actually seen the pictures I just gave one article a quick glance) | ||

I don't care how 'normal' it is in Texas to hit your kids with a 'switch,' if you're leaving cuts and bruises that last a week+ then you seriously, seriously fucked up. The only way a kid should have scrapes and cuts on them like that is because they ran through some bushes they didn't know were thorny or something, not because another person inflicted them. | ||

I have AP in one of my leagues. Time to give that one up if AP is suspended for a long time. Couldn't pick up his backup 'cause I was at work -_- | ||
