The NFL, already swamped with negative news in what has been a horrible week for the league, now has to deal with Adrian Peterson, one of its biggest stars, being indicted for injuring a child.
Multiple reports, including TMZ, Fox Sports and the Fox affiliate in Houston, said Peterson was indicted on Thursday in Montgomery County for reckless or negligent injury to a child. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said the indictment stems from Peterson disciplining his son with a switch, which is a flexible rod.

Sure as hell not when it results in this(from the story):
"The beating allegedly resulted in numerous injuries to the child, including cuts and bruises to the childs back, buttocks, ankles, legs and scrotum, along with defensive wounds to the childs hands. Peterson then texted the boys mother, saying that one wound in particular would make her 'mad at me about his leg. I got kinda good wit the tail end of the switch.'"
When my son was in trouble I used to lecture him. He hated the lectures - it would start with “sit down!” and then I’d go on for an hour or so, until I could tell by his pained face he’d got the message and couldn’t take it anymore :)
We laugh about it now...but he’s a great person.
The stories and drama are never ending in As The World Turns in the NFL.
There is no room for politics with all this off-field sports drama
english...
do you speak it????
So you’re okay with this?
This wasn’t a spanking - this was a beating - and had time to heal up some before he went home to his mother.
And in all YOUR ‘spankings” how many times were you left with several OPEN WOUNDS??? ALL over your body?
A four year old!
For all you Freepers who think this is just fine - SHAME ON YOU.
The man is an uneducated animal...’who done needs get lessons in English’ - as well as the same kind of BEATING by someone - or several - much bigger than he is.
what the H-E-Double L has happened to FR? It’s posts like this that ‘explain’ to me why the original Freepers left some time ago.
Disgusting...

Well, the NFL is in bed with the WH ...
Ex.
White House wrote pro-Obamacare tweets for NFL players to parrot
White House officials sent out pre-formed tweets to the NFL players union to get former and current football stars to tout Obamacare on game day, the Washington Free Beacon reports.
Kyle Lierman, a White House Office of Public Engagement liaison, emailed a representative at the NFL Players Association Sunday, encouraging players to tweet in support of Obamacare during the Super Bowl and promising retweets and increased coverage in return. According to the Free Beacons sources, NFL union officials sent on Liermans request to marketing reps for various players.

According to you, a severe beating is in order when an 11 yo boy is accused of rape. All your hyperventilating aside, that is just sick.
Nice willow switch hurt much more than a fathers belt, especially when mom swung it.,p> No wonder this country is in so much trouble, to many c@ndy@ass woo$$e$.
Adrian Peterson joins Obama for Easter Egg Roll, Apr 01, 2013
In case you haven’t noticed, there are a lot of dumb asses on here. You really shouldn’t be surprised.
BTW, yea, it’a disgusting.
The message was, You are loved, and there are standards we expect of you BECAUSE we love you. This is an emphasis of that fact.
You condone this abuse of a FOUR year-old?!?

“Got him in the nuts once I noticed. But I felt so bad, n I’m all tearing that butt up when needed!”
WE used to get it with the open hand and the fly swatter. Never once did my parents break the skin or even leave a red mark. This is a four year old child with multiple lacerations. Unbelievable. That kid must have been terrified. I cannot even deal with it. The guy should be horse whipped. Smacking a kid on the butt a couple times to get their attention is one thing, beating them is another.
They have lost Rush as well, he was lamenting the death spiral of football today.
Agreed there are a least 7 welts several of them with open cuts, on just one of his legs. Didn’t show his back, or the other leg.
You don’t hit a 4 year old with a stick.
So you didn't earn that paddling? I never knew a kid that got a paddling in school, that did not deserve it, myself included.
Are you a complete, blithering idiot? Take some time and look up “rhetorical device”,
Also - quit lying, you’re acting like a democrat politician. I didn’t say “accused”, I said “did” - and despite what you and other dems thing, they are NOT the same.
And yes - if an 11 year old boy raped a little girl, he deserves a pretty severe whippin’.
Now, get over your foolish, over-reacting self, and maybe calm down and take a deep breath before using a big word like “hyperventalating”.
