You thought the reaction to Rice was bad. There will be some that defend what Peterson did...but there is no excuse to hitting a 4 year old, bare butted, with a stick to the point of leaving cuts, scrapes...on his legs, butt, back, and balls.
Given the quotes and what he has admitted (and thinking he did nothing wrong)...no way he plays this year and not sure about going forward after that.

Based on the mistakes the NFL made with Rice, they will err on the side of going to the opposite extreme out of the gate, with Peterson.
I agree. We may very well be seeing the end of his career. If he does prison time, which can happen, it's done.

I recall the problem he had with his 2 year old that passed away, I know they charged someone else, but I can vaguely remember I was thinking it could have been him that did this but got away with it. Now with this coming up, I sort of am leaning more so that they may have got the wrong person or it could have been persons. It is a sad day that you need to hurt a 4 year old child to the exstent of leaving cuts, bleeding wounds and that there were so many as well and all over him. I am sorry no reason to do that to a young child of only 4.

apparently the issue is disciplining his son with a switch. this is a form of corporal punishment that folks like Tw might remember their parents giving out, and which was once given out in schools, attitudes have changed on this over the years.

for good reason . used to get wooden paddles from the teachers years ago. some of them would take pleasure and time to design a paddle that would inflict the most pain and least marks. they would drill air holes, use a certain length, width,thickness and then they would stand you over a desk or chair that was a perfect height so they would get the best swing to cause the pain and least amount of visible injury. making you touch your ankles just caused to much damage to the rear. I could go on, but you get what I am saying I hope.
