    Child Beaters: Adrian Peterson’s Four-Year-Old Obviously Had It Coming

    And finally, a word to everyone who’ll spend this week making excuses for Adrian Peterson: If you say that you got that kind of treatment as a child and it never did you any harm, the very fact that you’re finding justifications for beating a four-year-old so hard that it leaves bloody welts suggests that it left you pretty damaged.

    Barkley: I don’t know where he’s from, I’m from the south, whooping, we do it all the time. Every black parent in the South is going to be in jail under those circumstances.

    Rome: It doesn’t matter where you’re from, right is right and wrong is wrong.

    Barkley: Nooo…I don’t believe that. We spank kids in the South.

    Rome: I don’t want to tell anybody how to raise their kids and I don’t really want anyone telling me how to raise mine, but let’s make a distinction between child rearing and child abuse.

    Barkley: That’s very…

    Rome: That’s child abuse. There’s no fine line here.

    Barkley: I think there’s a fine line. I’ve had many welts on my leg.

    Rome: Welts like that?

    Barkley: Oh yeah, I got beat with switches.
    I see. It's ok to do that in the south and Sir Charles thinks it's acceptable? That's all I need to know.

    Guy should be banned just like Ray Rice, IF what he's being accused of is true. There's no reason to beat a 4 year old with a stick. EVER.

    Hey Charles, this is 2014. We've learned a few things since you were a kid. One of them is how to discipline children. Beating them isn't really acceptable anymore. Sorry your mom did it to you, but this is the 21st century.

    Post like this never cease to amaze me?

    Who the hell are you talking to? Who is James Brown lecturing? The pro-child beating crowd? The domestic violence fan club?

    All of these people are just self-aggrandizing blow hards. Lecturing an entire country full of people damning child and wife beaters is like filibustering on the benefits of oxygen.

    We get it. There are morons out there who don't, sure. But neither James Brown, nor Bob Costas, nor any other talking head on TV is going to sway them. As for the other 99% of us, we don't need convincing. We just want to watch a God damn football game without being talked down to by some unqualified jackass who is an expert on nothing.

    Interesting post. This is the same exact logic the pro-lifers use to (attempt) to rip the pro-choicers. There is not one pro-choice person on the planet that wants to see a life end. The fact is that life does not begin until week 20 or 21 in utero. Fact.

    Shows the NFL is all about one thing only: money.

    NFL needed to help the Pats out, so they probably called for him to sit that game.

    Exactly, except....not at all.

    My post is about why we have to listen to these jagoffs bloviate all over our football broadcast.

    Secondly, the are many Gosnells out there. And Margaret Sanger was a proponent of Eugenics.

    but, other than that, you're spot on. (Which is to say "nice try, but, um, no")

    Until there's a 21st century edition of The Bible, there are going to be a lot of people who will follow Spare the rod, spoil the child. If he gets one fundamentalist on the jury (which is likely in Texas) he's never going to be convicted.

    Sure, great, but why should we, the viewers, have to be lectured by these blowhards?

    We didn't do anything.

    We tune in for football, not holier than thou sermons about "How we should be raising boys" or "How we should stop saying __________ throws like a girl."

    I did not sign up to have these idiot celebrities as life coaches. They are no more qualified to weigh in on issues than the local barista or supermarket cashier. In fact, they, with their plush lives and million dollar salaries, are probably far less qualified to comment on the lives of everyday Americans than the cashier or coffee slinger.

    I don't give a dog's breakfast what James Brown or Bob Costas think about anything. Nobody does. Introduce the football experts. Tell us about relevant injuries. Give us scores and highlights and STFU.

    Does the blogger always dress like Catwoman and carry a whip?

    Or was it just for that article?

    Let's be clear. This is a blog, not a televised NFL broadcast. If you tuned into his "sermon" and don't like it, that's your problem.

    You say 99% don't need convincing. I doubt it. Maybe 99% among the folks you consider peers. But this kind of whipping is more common than you may think. Frankly, I'm kind of surprised no one here has come to Peterson's defense. Every time someone gets in trouble for disciplining his child with a switch, you know you're going to here the tough people tell you how they got beaten when they were a kid.

    I did not sign up to have these idiot celebrities as life coaches. They are no more qualified to weigh in on issues than the local barista or supermarket cashier.

    I don't know who Doktor Zoom is and have no idea how much money he makes. For all I know, his day job might BE at Starbucks. Regardless, is he wrong?

    I dont believe in hitting a kid with a switch since I've been on the receiving end of one a few times in my life, but I believe in whooping a kids ass if he's disrespectful with the hand of course!
    You can call me streetkings
