Adrian Peterson Indicted then deactivated ahead of Pats game

[Woodman]

I guess he disciplined his child but went way to far.

Minnesota Vikings (http://www.nfl.com/teams/minnesotavikings/profile?team=MIN) running back Adrian Peterson (http://www.nfl.com/player/adrianpeterson/2507164/profile) has been indicted for reckless or negligent injury to a child, NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport confirmed Friday, according to a source involved in the process.
The Vikings (http://www.nfl.com/teams/minnesotavikings/profile?team=MIN) announced that Peterson will be deactivated for Sunday's game against the New England Patriots (http://www.nfl.com/teams/newenglandpatriots/profile?team=NE).
A source told Rapoport that Peterson has already testified in front of a grand jury. The investigation has been going on for some time. Adrian Peterson (http://www.nfl.com/player/adrianpeterson/2507164/profile)'s lawyer Rusty Hardin declined to comment to Rapoport about the indictment.
"The Vikings (http://www.nfl.com/teams/minnesotavikings/profile?team=MIN) are in the process of gathering information regarding the legal situation involving Adrian Peterson (http://www.nfl.com/player/adrianpeterson/2507164/profile). At this time, we will defer further questions to Adrian's attorney Rusty Hardin," the Vikings (http://www.nfl.com/teams/minnesotavikings/profile?team=MIN)said in a statement.
Lt. Fitzgerald of Montgomery County Texas Police confirmed to NFL Media that they have investigated the case. An unknown police department called the City of Houston Police Department with a complaint of child endangerment, and Houston referred it to the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office where the alleged case occurred.

[Buffalogic]

From what I understand it was just a little spanking but he's a high profile human so this gets a lot of attention. Shoot my parents used to belt and wooden spoon me all the time. They managed to not be indicted lol.

[SpikedLemonade]

The photos of the 4 year old's cuts and bruises are pretty bad.

[Buffalogic]

^ I haven't seen so maybe its worse than I thought.

[Skooby]

His best must of had some sharp corners & a metal ball on it.

[Albany,n.y.]

I know this is in bad taste but...
Damn, Belichick will do anything to screw an opponent.

[BillsImpossible]

The photos of the 4 year old's cuts and bruises are pretty bad.

If that is the case, Roger Goodell has an opportunity to save face and come down hard on Peterson.

If he's smart, Goodell will, 'indefinitely suspend,' Peterson.

[BillsImpossible]

Spiked, please post a link to the photos.

Does anyone else remember this?

Peterson's 2 year old son was killed by physical abuse.

This is bizarre...

If you were an private investigator what would you think?

She was attempting to claim child support payments from an ex but the case was dismissed when paternity tests revealed that he was not the father. This is when Doohen contacted Minnesota Vikings star Adrian Peterson to inform him that they boy may be his. Adrian, who obviously believed that he could be the child’s father, made arrangements to meet the boy. However, the fatal attack occurred before that could happen and Adrian’s first time meeting the little boy was while he was on life support less than 24 hours before his death.

The boy reportedly said, “Daddy Peterson hit me on my face,” that Peterson “likes belts and switches” and “has a whooping room,” and that Peterson stuffed his mouth with leaves and hit him with the switch as his pants were down.

The NFL recently unveiled a domestic-violence policy, which stipulates a six-game suspension for a first offense but allows for steeper penalties if children are involved, CBS Houston reported.

I think Adrian is going to miss this season, under-punishing people isn't going to be in vogue for a while.

[RedEyE]

This is seriously fd up. Im now curious about the death of the other kid.

Getting a good smack on the rump is a lot different than whipping your 4 year old child with tree branches until he bleeds, and stuffing leaves down his mouth to drown out the cries.

Sorry, but Adrian Peterson just made Micheal Vick look better.

[coastal]

Peterson needs to never play another down in the NFL

[Mace]

It's more contemptible after his illegitimate 2 year old was murdered.

His attorney said he regretted the injuries but he did like his daddy done did to him. Stuffed his mouth with leaves huh ?

Sorry I messed up you son, I'll mess you up less next time I promise, not like I done kilt yer or sumthin.

Throw the book at him twice, he should know better.

[Blondie]

So "Daddy Peterson" has a red room of pain .. is that what i am gathering here?

The NFL needs to set a new tone, and now they have the opportunity to do it.

AP had never met him and was just about to.

The boyfriend of AP's baby mama did it.

[BillsImpossible]

I don't think Goodell should be the sacrificial lamb. It would not set the right example for players to follow.

If the owners tossed Goodell, that would be like saying, "Hey players, if you screw up big, don't worry, the Commish will take the fall."

What the hell is a switch?

What the hell is a switch?
Take a green willow tree branch... Strip the leaves...

Let the whippings begin.

a slender flexible whip, rod, or twig

Stuffed mouth with leaves ? My Dad went off without any planning like that, I swear you'd think he had professional training with his belt.

[BillsImpossible]

Whipping your naked 4 year old child with tree branches on their private parts and stuffing their mouth with leaves is barbaric.

The NFL Monopoly game says, "Go To Jail."

Good luck to Adrian in keeping sponsors. After the wives call the police & then their hubby's income, do you think that there's a moment of clarity that they made a poor choice getting with these guys?

Not at all. It would be saying the douchebag who tries to cover **** up to protect your asses is gone now.

"Got him on the nuts once". Over a video game. No defending it.

[BillsOverDolphins]

Who has more fantasy upside--Asiata or McKinnon?

[Bunion]

So the next headline should be 'AP cut by Vikes: Suspended Indefinitely by NFL'.

My folks only ever used their hands,and it stopped sometime HS when I bulked up enough to bench my dad. Probably a good reason why it shouldn't happen.

[YardRat]

The 'integrity' of the game has gone downhill during Goodell's regime, it's time for him to go. Hopefully he takes Kraft and the Patriots with him.

[Meathead]

my dad beat me with switches too

http://www.oldhouseweb.com/imagesvr_ce/stories/bitmaps/2006/14167/large.jpg

[Meathead]

one notch closer to hell with that joke

all kidding aside, the goal should be to never whip your kid. but sometimes a whipping is required when nothing else is getting thru. there are situations that come up where you can make an easy case its for the kids physical/emotional safety. frankly, some adults could use it too. and hot chicks who ask for it

whats being reported now goes way beyond that, obviously. lets not forget however that its highly likely thats what he had done to him so lets try to mix in a little compassion with our justifiable outrage

As sad as the story is this could prove to be redemptive for Goodell. It takes the focus off the Ray Rice media circus and gives him a golden opportunity to act swift and merciless. If I were AP I'd be prepared to never play again in the NFL. Six months from turning 30 (with a lot of miles on those legs), and no team will want the backlash. Except maybe the Raiders

His tenure merely coincides with media explosion, social media, and increase in thug activity by players. I don't like him either, as commissioner. But naming him as the root cause is a bit misplaced. Does he have problems? Yes. Most currently is his inability to mete out discipline on a consistent basis from case to case. The inconsistencies are embarrassing and should not be.

He burned all the video evidence from Spygate, that was enough for me.

AP went way too far, there is a thin line between discipline and outright beating your kid.

My parents spanked me with either a belt or a sandal("La chancleta") Cuban parents dont mess around. But it was always on the ass, and I usually learned my lesson.

I guess that's why Robert Kraft never fails to mention what a great job Rog is doing.

Vikings Message Board has been shut down permanently. It will not return. There are two primary reasons.
1. The Vikings cowardly decision to reinstate a child abuser and think that an apology will make this blow over. We will not stand for this arrogance and we will no longer be the home of any support of the Vikings. We stand for those who cannot defend themselves.
2. We will not give a voice to those who think child abuse is "cultural" or worse, openly advocate child abuse as a reasonable method of punishment. This ends here. Yes, a few board members have ruined it for everyone. Congratulations, *******s.
edit: we have replaced the word "thugs" with "those" to avoid any potential racial connotation. it wasn't intended and appears to be distracting from the real message that child abuse is never okay.

I agree with coastal. Peterson done in the NFL. And Goodell out. Rice out too. Everyone else will straighten up and fly right.

Deactivating Peterson for the Patriot game is meaningless. The Patriots will crush them with or without Peterson.
