Adrian Peterson's "Switch" Worse Than Ray Rice's Fist
For NFL's Public Image

Physical abuse of women or children is completely unacceptable.
.
But something about Thursday's indictment of Minnesota Vikings star
running back Adrian Peterson in Montgomery County (Texas) for
reckless/negligent injury to his 4-year old child is absolutely sickening,
reprehensible, and unforgivable.
.
And in my mind, far worse for the NFL's beleaguered public image than the
recent Ray Rice scandal on several levels.
.
First and foremost, a professional football player struck a defenseless
4-year old child. 4-years old! Seriously? Are you kidding me? What the
hell?
.
Apart from these pictures which verify the brutality and thoughtlessness
of the assault, it has been reported that doctors told investigators that
the boy had a number of lacerations on his thighs, along with bruise-like
marks on his lower back and buttocks, as well as cuts on his hand.
Furthermore, it was reported that the police report says the doctor
described some of the marks as open wounds and termed it "child
abuse"while another examiner called the cuts "extensive".
.
Second, Peterson's own child by a different woman was KILLED LAST YEAR in
South Dakota at the hands of an abusive man.
.
So I don't want to hear Peterson's lawyer, Rusty Hardin (who has a history
of defending high-character athletes, like Roger Clemens), talk about how
Peterson was applying a parenting technique learned from the way he was
raised.
.
The ole "learned behavior" argument. Really, Rusty? How about the
learned behavior that Peterson should have learned when his own son was
killed as a direct result of physical abuse?
