This is like those people who argue that the First Amendment guarantees them free speech to say whatever they like.

Yes, technically (and STUPIDLY), parents in America are allowed to perform corporal punishment on their children. Research proves it is 100% ineffective. Common sense shows that the most helpless, defenseless portion of our population shouldn't be the only one we're allowed to hit. If Peterson does that same action to a member of the Vikings' staff, he's out of his job and likely in prison. It's shameful.

So even if he is not found guilty in court, he has been found guilty in the court of public opinion. Sponsors are pulling out already from the team. Nobody is going to sign him for a future endorsement deal. The Vikings and NFL will go full damage control mode. His future is in jeopardy. Even if he doesn't face criminal charges, his reputation and wallet are in trouble. This isn't over for him, and I will be shocked if he's playing on Sunday.

It's going to come out that he did this to all of his kids that he met. He flatout said that's how he disciplines, so you know he did this horrid horrid shit to each of them at some point. The question is if it comes out after he's out of the league (which will happen before his contract's set to expire).

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
I don't get how this Colts team is good. I look at the roster and think there's no reason they should be successful.

Then they play, and look great. Is it coaching?

So are you saying a child should never get a whopping if he's acting up? Not even a with a belt?
