That’s ridiculous. Sorry, but he settled the case and has contact with the child. It was a mistake, it was handled to match the situation. The NFL management is out of control.
PC is their strong suit.....................
I disagree. Peterson plead no contest (guilty) to reckless assault on a 4 year old child.
Corporal punishment is one thing, but beat the child severely and drew blood and left multiple wounds.
Also keep in mind, the boy is 4 years old. What can a 4 year old possibly do to make a civilized man think he deserved that sort of a beating. I the kid were 12 and his Dad caught him selling crack, I could understand it, but a 4 year old? No way.
Maybe Peterson’s coach ought to whip him until he bleeds, each time he fumbles, misses a block, gets stopped for a loss or is late for practice.
Also, it is not as if Peterson is a real father to the boy he beat. The thug has baby mammas all over the country.
Keep in mind, he has been getting PAID for doing nothing up until now. So, this is really only a 6 game suspension.
Settled the case? He pled guilty to a criminal offense which he is currently serving his sentence for.
