N.F.L. Rocked Again as Adrian Peterson Faces a Child Abuse Charge

A warrant for the arrest of Adrian Peterson, one of the National Football
League's top stars, was issued Friday after he was charged in a child
abuse investigation in Texas, the latest criminal case to rock the
country's most popular sport.
.
The charges against Peterson, a running back for the Minnesota Vikings
regarded as one of the best in history, came after the police investigated
claims that he had abused his son while disciplining him with a switch, or
a small tree branch.

The news of Peterson's indictment comes barely two weeks into the N.F.L.
season and at a time when the league is reeling from controversy. The
N.F.L.'s commissioner, Roger Goodell, has been under siege over his
handling of a domestic abuse case involving another star running back -
Ray Rice, who on Monday was released by the Baltimore Ravens. The release
of footage of Rice punching his fianc, who is now his wife, prompted the
N.F.L. to suspend Rice indefinitely, after initially giving him a two-game
ban. It also led the N.F.L. to order an outside investigation into how
league officials investigated the case.
.
The league has allowed San Francisco 49ers defensive lineman Ray McDonald,
who was arrested in late August after an altercation with his pregnant
fianc, and Carolina Panthers defensive end Greg Hardy, who is appealing
his July conviction on two domestic violence charges, to remain on the
field.
.
The Vikings, who play host to the New England Patriots on Sunday, said
Peterson had been deactivated and would not play in the game. He has
cooperated with law enforcement in the case and testified before a grand
jury for several hours, Hardin said.

Depending on the outcome of his case, Peterson could be penalized by
Goodell, who has wide discretion to discipline players who violate the
league's personal conduct policy. Two weeks ago, Goodell, in response to
criticism that he was too lenient in the Rice case, strengthened penalties
for players involved in domestic violence. Under the new rules, first-time
offenders will automatically be suspended for six games.
