Adrian Peterson has been placed on the Exempt/Commissioner's Permission list, requiring the running back to stay away from the team. Looks like the Vikes have buckled to corporate/sponsor pressure.
Matt Asiata will be their starting running back for the indefinite future.

But, I thought AP was just exercising his right to discipline his child, according to Spielman? Funny how things change a day after a few sponsors put pressure on the Vikings/NFL.
 
I like how Ziggy Wilf sends his GM and coach out to defend the stupid decision to play AP while not saying a damn thing himself, and then take all the credit for sitting him with this letter. What a fucking goon. And also love how they word the letter to make it seem like they didn't know sitting AP was an option.
 
SMH @ the vikings and NFL.

But where was the sponsor outrage at the Ray Rice situation, originally?

I just find it weird - Yes, objectively, hitting a child is worse than hitting your spouse, but corporal punishment of children is culturally accepted in large portions of the nation, whereas I'm pretty sure hitting your spouse is frowned upon more.

Why would they sit him when the Vikings considered what AP did just normal "discipline?"
 
Society funny. Nobody gave a shit when Cooper was calling people the N word, negatively.

Did he even miss a game?

lol. All you can is laugh sometimes.
 
Are people really updating the title of this thread with practice schedules? Is it really that important, good lord.

Plenty of people cared and Goodell got some shit for not taking action and hiding behind letting the Eagles police themselves. I think Roger didn't want to look like an ass by suspending a player for using racist language while at the same time protecting a team that uses a racist nickname.

Second, the climate is different now. There is a landslide here with 4 or 5 different incidents all happening in such a short time that it's finally shining a bright light on the league's hypocrisy and mishandling of so many disciplinary issues.

If folks are still getting bent out of shape about the Redskins team name, Washington can always consider adopting the team name of the current Ottawa CFL franchise.

On second thought... perhaps they should just call themselves the Roughriders. Can never have enough teams named Roughriders.
 
What does this mean for Roddy White's fantasy team??

Well given Ziggy Wilf's background scamming both his own business partners in NY/NJ and the people of Minnesota, who would expect anything else?
 
It wasn't the gruesome pictures, it was the threat of losing money.

It's all such a joke. It didn't take a 4 year old getting the beat crap out of him to pull Adrian off, it was some freaking sponsors pulling away (and rightfully so) away from the team.

Doing the right thing but for the wrong reasons... Ugh -_-
 
I will say down here beating on children like this happen all the time are seen as OK. I'm not saying they are OK I'm just saying that its part of the southern culture.

Not when Texas of all states even indicted him.

Shoving leaves down a 4 year old kid's throat while beating him with a tree branch is NEVER OK.

I live in the south and while spankings are normal, the injuries he caused to the child are not. Tired of people making excuses for that shit. I don't spank my kid, and I'm ok with others doing it for the most part, but what he did was not a normal fucking spanking. I got my ass whipped lots growing up, never had cuts and bruises like that.

I never thought I'd hear of a culture that was accepting of slicing open a toddlers scrotum.

Cooper likely would've been cut by the Eagles if it weren't for Vick stepping in and saving his ass and probably his career. Vick quickly defused the animosity toward him with the team to make sure that what he said didn't fracture the team. He pretty much owes his career to Vick due to that.
 
I don't think it was just sponsors that forced this decision. Roger Goodell, the governor of Minnesota, and the whole twittersphere all played a big part too. Vikings ownership had no choice but to sit him again. Adrian may not play again until next season, though I have no idea how long the legal process will take.

Roger Goodell?!

He's been hiding for a week.

Yeah, I'm getting sick of people equating what AP did to normal corporal punishment. Spanking your child is not the same thing as whipping them with a twig so hard and so many times that their skin splits open.

Yea switches are fucking insane. I remember watching that Jackson 5 movies and thanking god that my mom used a belt. My grandmother used a bone though. I think from a cow.

It just LOOKED scary.
 
Looks like the Vikings are doing the Hokey Pokey with AP. They might not have to shake it all about though, because AP might have already done that to his kids.

What is even more funny is if Riley was a dog that lost a fight Vick would not have been as forgiving.

The true definition of a white man's boy. As a kid who grew up in Atlanta(well, Marietta) during the early 00's I am ashamed I ever loved him.

Was the leaf thing ever verified? That to me was the craziest part of it showing he was out of control. Imagine video of that, he'd be in jail for sure.

You'll have to forgive me for saying this, I'm hoping it was just a grandmotherly spanking and nothing too harsh but... that's badass. A cow bone? Damn.
 
Think we need a title change. He ain't playin'.



Benched indefinitely by Minnesota, and NFL is planning a statement or conference to discuss their position.
