Adrian Peterson indicted after giving his son a 'whooping'

[kylejack]

Some NFL team could just say "screw it, we're outlaws". And get great players and win.

Wrong. The Steelers have a rapist quarterback and went 8-8 last year.

Maybe America is just sick of domestic violence.

I think it has more to do with there being a video of it, or at least that's what touched off this latest round.

I also think that if there were video of Adrian Peterson taking a switch to a four-year-old as described, the reaction would be far more visceral. There was something within the past year or two where a father took a belt to one of his daughters (much older than four) on camera and there was a lot more outrage.

Is the week for NFL athetes news .. why now suddenly.


These all are on front page of a UK paper today.

Miami Dolphins defensive end Dion Jordan will miss six games as he is given ANOTHER suspension for violating league's drug policy

The 24-year-old, who was the first pick in the 2013 draft, had previous ban lifted after two games, but it was replaced by another four-game suspension, ruling him out until October 20.


Baltimore Ravens 'knew about Ray Rice video within hours of NFL player's brutal attack on his wife and tried to cover it up'

More than 20 senior sources within the squad said the Ravens' director of security Darren Sanders spoke to police about the attack moments after the incident in Atlantic City on Valentine's Day.



NFL commissioner Roger Goodell apologizes and admits handling of Ray Rice scandal was wrong... but REFUSES to resign

As Goodell broke his nine-day silence to apologize for his role in poor decision-making, he said he had not considered resigning and was now focused on 'doing the job to the best of my ability'.


Jameis Winston is now benched for a full game for yelling lewd comment in the middle of campus

The 20-year-old Heisman Trophy-winning player had the ban extended from half a game after he screamed the obscenities in the middle of the Tallahassee campus on Tuesday.

Minnesota authorities take legal action to stop Adrian Peterson seeing his son

Hennepin County Human Services want to obtain a protective order for Adrian Peterson's four-year-old son and are asking a judge to block the Vikings running back from using corporal punishment.

You understand that Jameis Winston is a college player, right?

You understand that Jameis Winston is a college player, right?

Yes indeed. If Adrian Peterson wanted to do some good, he could take his switch down to Tallahassee and teach Jameis Winston a lesson.

Furthermore, Jimbo Fisher should say that if Winston wants to keep his scholarship, he will show up at practices and games in a polo and khaki shorts and carry the water for the trainers, and will do so for the rest of the season. If he doesn't do that, Donna Shalala should call Fisher into her office and say, "Dude, either he goes, or you do. Your call for about ten more minutes."

And if Winston has a mom around anywhere, why she hasn't been on a plane down there is anyone's guess. Nobody gets through like an angry mom. I would have already called a press conference of my own, and they could roll while I exercised my vocabulary on him. This just burns me up that people in authority don't do anything when they see a train wreck happening right before their eyes.

With that one I think I've negged you more than any other member, and mine deduct more than yours.

Do they still? Because I'll be happy to knock you down some more.

Folks, you know, we could get together and negrep him to the point where his plusreps deduct points and his negreps add to your score...

This thread should be a prime example to all the challenges in logic, reason, and ethics we face as libertarians. There is one side clearly being illogical, irrational, and supporting immoral acts...all in the name of tradition, social acceptance, religion (the 'spare the rod' crap isn't even in the Bible...it's dated to like 1600 years later), not facing the ego, etc., etc., etc. I feel so bad for the kids some of your raise(d). I feel even worse for all of us who have to deal with them when they leave your homes for the rest of the world. Children aren't like dogs...you can't beat them and it only be your problem forever. Kids eventually get let out of the yard, and eventually when the sample size is large enough, all the negative statistical effects on their lives and the lives of others come into play. It may not be the majority of spanked kids, but nonetheless the rate of cancer is increased for them, the rate of domestic violence victimization or victimizing goes up, the rate of promiscuity goes up, the rate of drug abuse and addiction, the rate of obesity goes up, the rate of violence goes up overall, the rate of incarceration, etc., etc., etc.

You have failed as a parent if you have learned how to give your children the best possible statistical chance of success and happiness in life, and refuse to give it to them when you can. It matters not whether your kid ends up the bad stat...it takes 100,000 of them for a 3% rate to appear with any reliability. As the sample size grows, the stats becomes more reliable...and we have billions of kids to look at for evidence. If you parented correctly, your kids success or failure has no connection to those risks, as you limited them as much as possible. It doesn't mean a spanked kid won't be immune from all those downfalls, and it doesn't mean a non-spanked kid will never suffer any of those downfalls...it just means it isn't your fault when they fail and is partly to your credit when they succeed. The stats prove this factually...there is no arguing it's too small a sample size or methodologically un-reviewed. We KNOW what gives kids the best chances at survival and success...but some of you just refuse to give your kids the best chances for some illogical, irrational, and therefore ethically bankrupt reason.

Blame yourselves when little Suzy is a whore or little Johnny assaults a man in his alcoholic stupor, or whatever. Don't act like you had no part in that result. You totally had a hand in it. If that isn't the result, consider yourself really lucky...not a good parent.

Didn't buy it two months ago, not buying it now.

I'm glad you'll be able to raise your kid as you see fit.

Now...........Stay the fuck out of my family!

No shit, that was a self righteous little rant wasn't it?
