Adrian Peterson suspended at least the rest of the season

[Made Myself A Boss]

NFL is just mad dude collected 10 game checks without playing a down. The punishment is pure bullshyt

 

[SubZeroDegrees]

They were investigating it IMMEDIATELY. You really are clueless when it comes to this shyt

Go to school young man, you have a lot of learning to do how the real world works.

They were IMMEDIATELY investigating on Sept. 18 and still are a NFL Sponsor today. They not going anywhere. Is you slow?

Roger Goodell "suddenly" finds his moral compass when it comes to handing down AD's punishment. Screw his bs dog and pony show. He's trying to buy character. NOPE! He's selective and has proven so. Goodell lost the right to be grandiose when questioning ADs character when his was on FULL display downplaying Rice's abuse.

fukk him

Not to mention he went MIA when he had his feet put to the fire. He received no punishment for his misstep. He basically said, "I messed up, I'll do better next time" and walked away . The players should have been on his head, calling him out every time a mic was in their face for the rest of the season.

He can't create suspensions out of the blue. They have to be based on precedent. Just have a suspension with pay and let the legal system handle it. If they're innocent/charges dropped it's immediate reinstatement. A misdemeanor is a game or two without pay. A felony can be more severe depending on the crime be it 8 games, a year, or a lifetime ban.

They just said on ESPN that there is a possibility Peterson returns this weekend?.........

 

[Based Lord Zedd]

This whole situation is ridiculous.

We got Gooddell out here talking to players like he's their father, lecturing them on personal issues.
Peterson practically been suspended for most of this season already.
What the hell is Goodell going to do next April? Inspect Peterson's kids for injuries?
Lack of remorse?

Peterson is in the wrong here but legal process played out and he's already missed an ample amount of time.
fukk Goodell, why didn't he suspend himself for a year after his mishandling of the Ray Rice situation?

The whole concept of the NFL having an official beauty sponsor(s) has me in tears, I didn't even know that.

Yes, partly because the NFL acted the way they did and HANDLED the situation.

Take an argumentation class and come back to me. You have NO LOGIC and no real base for your points. I am done wasting my time with you.

get suspended for NOT breaking the law bruhs

He plead guilty in court... so how is he being suspended for NOT breaking the law?

Breh you are killing me here. I don't HAVE to counter with what you said...MANY players have lost endorsements for LESS. The PROOF is out there.

The NFL is acting in the interest for its players and the league...you do NOT want to put your company in a position in where it can enrage the people who make you your money.

Let's say the NFL did NOT act this way.

Public opinion CAN start to think THAT:
The NFL condones the act of AP beating his kid with a tree branch, the sponsors condone the action as well because they are still throwing millions at them to help build a league that openly allows child abuse.

Public possible response?
Drop the NFL network, don't watch the games and not support any of the sponsors that keeps the NFL pockets fat. People have money and they dictate what is right or wrong. Not a simple ass court ruling, the court ruling is not jeopardizing the league's money...the PUBLIC CAN.

You guys have NO ARGUMENT here. fukk AP, you want the NFL possibly jeopardize the earning potential of THOUSANDS of people over a dumbass who doesn't seem to understand what he did? LMFAO get the fukk out of here.

At what point is he punished enough? With as hard as you're going it sounds like you would support him being banned from playing forever. The man has already missed 9 games. He's already lost all his endorsements. At what point is it enough in your eyes?

I do believe he should lose some of those game checks but at the same time the man has already been punished.

 

[*Hulks Up*]

Why the fukk is Shane Battier on my screen, where's Skip and Stephen A to help me make sense of all this?

damn!

I think the suspension is justified. He should get his pay, but not play again until next season.

You guys don't seem to understand what I am really arguing for. Peterson and Ray Rice are potentially jeopardizing the earning potential for THOUSANDS of people who did NOTHING wrong because of what they THEY DID. How can people stand up for this on a purely economic impact it can have to THOUSANDS of families?

The NFL took his pay away to appear to show no tolerance, do they really think that part of their suspension will stick? Probably not, but they had to take that hard stance initially.

Do I think AP was wrong? Hell yeah he was, but you also have to understand that if the thing continued to snowball the NFL could have risked sponsors and fans...you simply can't do that because a dumbass did not realize he was abusing his child.

Go to school young man, you have a lot of learning to do how the real world works.

You can't throw out the "how the real world acts" argument and deny that companies put out the message that they may sever ties strictly as a PR move as well. They put that out there to say we don't agree with what is going on but if they really felt that strongly they would have pulled their sponsorships. Their sponsors get heat too so they put out those messages to get some of the heat off of them.

 

[The_Unchosen_One]

Show me the proof. The only person lost his is Peterson, no one player would have lose their if they would do a simple protest.



NFL ALREADY acted by putting him on players exemption list, his case closed and could fined him for what games his missed. And no one but a few would have care about it.

Openly allows child abusers? NFL told him not the play while the trail was ongoing.

Sponsors condone the action, GTFO. Sponsors didn't shyt when Goodell lied and give Rice that bs two game suspension. They talk but that's it. Sponsors isn't severing ties with a multi-billion dollar mine.

You defending the shield too hard.

the vikings put him on the exempt list... not the NFL... The NFL didn't step in until today... AP has still been collecting his checks each week for not playing. The Vikings wanted him away from the team because of the media backlash that was going to follow him... Do you really want every question asked in the locker room after the game to each player by the reporters to be "have you ever seen Adrian beat his child? Do you condone what he's done?" You have to step back like the Vikings did and look at what is best for the team and that is why they told him to go home and take care of this.

Now here's the kicker... HE PLEAD GUILTY!!!! You know god damn well that Goodell was going to take action the second he took that plea bargain.

Obviously, but the threat had to be made on their part to rush the NFL into a decision to quickly put this to rest.

It's a series of escalation. All parties have to counter until the situation is diffused, they cannot simply sit there and risk losing fan/consumer support...the impact could balloon into the millions in a matter of days.
