After intense political and financial pressure, the Minnesota Vikings has suspended child abuser Adrian Peterson indefinitely. The Vikings reactivated Peterson on Monday after he was arrested and charged with aggravated child abuse in Houston on Friday.
Peterson, 29, admitted he “disciplined” one of his minor sons with a tree branch when the child visited his gated home in May. Photos leaked to the media showed the boy’s lower torso and legs covered in welts and open wounds. The boy was only 3-years-old at the time of the savage beating.
Numerous big ticket sponsors cut ties with the Vikings and Peterson after the Vikings’ arrogant General Manager Rick Spielman held a disastrous press conference during which he said the team believed Peterson was just disciplining his 4-year-son.
The public outcry prompted the NFL’s official beer sponsor, Anheuser-Busch, to send a vaguely worded letter to the NFL expressing concern over the league’s handling of “certain behaviors” that goes against the company’s moral code. It wasn’t difficult to figure out who Anheueser-Busch was referring to. Without saying it in so many words, Anheuser-Busch threatened to withdraw its substantial $1.2 billion in advertising dollars if Peterson wasn’t gone by sundown.
Late Tuesday, the NFL responded to Anheuser-Busch with a cryptic message of its own:
“We understand. We are taking action and there will be much more to come,” NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said.
The Vikings drafted a statement at 1 a.m. Wednesday announcing Peterson was being placed on the exempt/commissioner’s permission list until his legal case is resolved.
“After giving the situation additional thought, we have decided this is the appropriate course of action for the organization and for Adrian,” the statement read.
Peterson is suspended with pay for the rest of the season. He will receive his full $11.5 million salary but he will lose lucrative sponsorships.
The Vikings initial decision to play Peterson after he viciously assaulted his son was a slap in the face to abused children everywhere. The Vikings sent a dangerous message that child abuse was permissible and winning games was the team’s top priority.
In related news, the mother of Peterson’s 4-year-old son asked the media to stop publishing photos of her son’s injuries. Through her attorney, the unidentified woman said she was “hurt and outraged” that the graphic photos were published.
“My client is hurt and outraged that the press would publish throughout the world pictures of their minor son and publish statements allegedly made as part of the private and confidential criminal investigative file,” Kelly C. Dohm said in her statement.
“My client asks the press and the public to respect the privacy rights of herself and their son by immediately removing any and all pictures and statements that are part of the private and confidential criminal investigative file and that should not be in the possession of the press and the public.”

In the words of Nino Brown: money walks BS runs the marathon, see ya! Now drop that ___
Jesus fix the NFL. :prays:
Child support is gonna kill his pockets in about three years. Had the sponsers stayed would he be getting the same treatment. Forget values and ethics, the NFL is about the dollar dollar bill yaw.

And this is why he was suspended
Vikings already said they thought it was just a matter of him discipling his son. When the money started 
they were like :stop: It aint nothing to cut this bish off. 
messy, messy, messy
while I agree with the mother’s sentiments, its not the media’s fault for posting the pix, its the dome headed negro tht created this mess. once the interwebs gets a hold of something its here to stay. if you can see real celebrity autopsies online then what does that tell you?

It hurt my heart to see that pic of Mike Brown. I couldn’t imagine the pain of the family & loved ones.
Peterson will cut a deal with the prosecution. Prolly be suspended for a year by the NFL.
The Vikings will seek to trade him. More than likely cut him because he will count against their books even though he isn’t playing. (The NFL is cutt throat like that)
And other NFL teams will be fighting to get in line to talk to his agent.
The sponsors are watching no real money sponsors pulled out. The Radisson pulled out from AP endorsements sponsors know regardless NFL is MONEY.
I’m trying to tell yall, if my kids come home like that, not only am I calling the cops, I am pushing for you yo be arrested and your custody snatched. I can’t understand how he isn’t locked up. And I told y’all last week, if I’m the NFL, playing you millions, and you turn around and do something that’s gonna f up my funds on the back end, you got to go.

Now the NFL is getting dragged because not one woman on their “Domestic Violence Committee” is African American.

Them sponsors are just angling for a lower rate. Not nair one of them leaving. In the richest country in the world, the NFL is the safest bet as a sponsor than anything else. It’s a no brainer.

His bullFoolery bout to come back out, Im sure that girl’s lawsuit should be bout ready to come up in court.
she said he bullied her trying to make her get an abortion
@Man right they want 1 a discount and 2 or their consumers to see them “making a stand” “It’s chess it ain’t checkers” quote by Lonzo RIP
I said that in jest and I see the point you wanna makeg. But in actuality those cases don’t really go away, maybe from a national spotlight, but not locally. A quick search of Erica Garner bought up recent articles within the past 24 hr. from Examiner, NY Post, other local papers. Mike Brown – 11 hrs. ago Reuters.

True. But that’s expected since new situations pop up daily. There are only so many reporters and time slots available for the daily news.
Just like there are local issues in a city that may never gain the national spotlight but please believe natives in the city are following it closely. 
It ain’t just the NFL – all of America is about that gwap…

Lebron’s hairline looks normal from what I can see. he must have those top shelf implants

Looks like the first thing he gonna do is buy a van with no Windows and park it in front of an all boys school… Ugh! He’ll be fine when they wanna do a part 2 for the teenage mutant ninja turtles….

Media has us talking about “war” with ISIS – you go to war with countries not ideals – this is like a war on terror – its empty words… all this is a direct result of US foreign policy and its been happening since before the cold war… we arm the rebels cause they’re fighting aginst our enemies and then the rebels win and take the weapons and training we gave them to use against us…. this is nothing new it will not end and there can be no winner…. not when you fighting an ideal… this is a lost cause – and we would not give a ratz azz about some brown people killing each other in the middle east if they didn’t have so much oil…. I’m buying a Prius damnit!!!!
This some BS, the man was wrong true, but they taking this mess too damn far :smh: I
they treat every NFL player that fukks up the same way 
Don’t feel like a hypocrite – watching the NFL although you disagree with their handling of a situation is no different than voting even though you hate all the politicans running – you work with what you got till we can do better….
Watching YT videos. Folks spend ten minutes just talking?! Gracious!

Its the very definition of a hypocrite…I am very vocal against their “polocies” yet i continue to support with clicks, purchases, etc. I dont think I am bad, per se, but hell yeah, youre a hypocrite if you call foul yet tune in.
Thats a good point..I do often have to choose between the lessore of two evils but you know since I changed to idependent I have a few more evils to choose from. Good point. Voting is so specific to what i feel is best for my family..whereas an issue like the DV in the NFL is an issue for every family imo.
My opinion: they should have never fully pulled out of Iraq from jump. Them suckas done had time to build. Now we are going back to war. The way things are going a Dem ain’t winning in 16.

so then we agree or nah?
Janay’s man is still crazy but Im sure it feels good to have the heat up off her ass for now.
well at least the media’s heat, no telling what her muscle headed husband is doing at home 
she needs to file for supervised visitation. 
To call it war allows the government to appropriate funds for such an operation. “War” is big money you got the military government officials receiving extra funds when they send local troops government contractors <— the real reason we fight these supposed wars. Cause you gotta know them killing a few Americans even the white ones doesn't warrant a military response. But if I can get my folks company a government contract to hunt down the enemy oh we all paid.
So one of his sons was beat to death by some man. He turns around and beat one three year old son until the boy has cuts and scarring on his legs, butts and testicles. And then he beats another son in a car seat which leads to the boy having scars on his forehead. He’s a rich idiot.
Seems like there was more public outrage when Michael Vick was fighting dogs than when this guy abused a black child. That’s America for you.
Anyway, sooooo glad that the Vikings got the message.
Watching YT videos. Folks spend ten minutes just talking?! Gracious!

Just pointing out that things tend to move out the national spotlight. Shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone. Especially us armchair militants 
But if you are concerned and want updates the information is not hard to find at all 
Raise your hands if you believe the 4-year old’s mother leaked the photos.
I would have and then sent some “friends” to beat Mr. Peterson’s ass with a forest.
