Adrian Peterson

Child abuse.....

What the fuck? I get that there will be people that defend the guy..... I realize there are still a few that cling to the notion that spanking works and it disciplines kids. But shit, the dude busted up a 4 year old kid. There is no justification.

Terrific week for the NFL.

My fantasy team is fucked.

I just made the mistake of reading the general board on the SportsHoopla..... Turns out that a large majority of SportsHoopla folks think it's a good idea to beat the piss out of 4 year old while they have a mouth full of leaves. It teaches them to be a man!

No question he went way too far. He should do jail time imo. Then once he has served his time he should be given another chance. This is not as bad as Ray Rice saying "Mamma said knock you out!" to his girl friend in public. It seems he was beaten as a child. Possibly there's a correlation?

Is there something just fucked up with running backs?

Certainly there is. Without knowing anything about it, I would hazard a guess that kids that are exposed to violence and beatings are much more likely to be violent. This seems obvious.... It's also the primary defense of AP's attorney.

Maybe we should start asking questions about the impact of all the HGH and designer steroids these guys are consuming.

Rice
Peterson
OJ

Also Jim Brown, who back in the day had issues with violence against women.

Maybe AP should keep it in his pants, I mean the kid that died last year was one of many with many women and he had no relationship with him or any responsibility as a father to him. I can see them throwing the book at him to make an example like they did with Ray Rice.

 

[bengaldoug]

Maybe the NFL should go to the extreme and start banning all these dumb fucks for life. I know if I find out a violent criminal is working for me his ass is done, period. And this nontolerance should expand to all sports, too.......jmo.

 

[bengaldoug]

Are we hypocrites for cheering these assholes on?

 

[kramer1]

Lets not derail this thread any further, please. The real issue here is that my fantasy team is fucked.

Probably.

I'll admit it -- I plan to watch football this Sunday and every Sunday and there are probably very few things that could happen to keep me from being interested. I think the only thing that would turn me off would be hard evidence that the outcome of games was fixed -- That would make me less interested in watching.

In general I root for the laundry..... I don't really give much of a fuck about the guys that play the game - One of the many reasons I stopped playing fantasy football. I root for the Bengals and I root for teams that beat the Bengals rivals or teams with competing interests.

As far as the events of the past week..... It does become more difficult to justify your love of the league when these types of things keep happening... But I'm hooked.

I just poured one out for your FF team.

The games are most likely fixed, actually.

Winning is more important.

Just ask the Panthers.

My dad punched me in the face many times, I have four kids and have never even spanked them, got their mom for that but seriously they know to do what I say or they wont get what they want its a working relationship.

If this chit is true about AD i'll be pretty upset as a Vikes fan I love the guy but he just may have crossed the line! What's most phucked up is his other son just died a year ago.

A 4 year old child is completely defenseless on a physical and emotional level. For me Ray Rice gets the "lesser of two evils" distinction on this one.

 

[DanBengalfan]

I'd say you have to be a violently aggressive person to be successful as a running back.

some of them know how to switch it on and off, and others don't.

drugs and alcohol certainly don't help.

it's crime. Happens all across America every day. We just care because it's football
