Vikings Reverse Decision - Adrian Peterson Deactivated May Not Play Until Child Abuse Case Resolved
Castrol dropped Adrian yesterday, Radisson has dropped the Vikings, and many other very large NFL sponsors are grumbling.
Now we have a lot more talk of a 2013 child abuse incident on a different son. His attorney says the second incident never happened, but many sites are publishing transcripts of text messages that seem to say otherwise. Some Minnesota fans were outraged he was playing, and others were crying out that AP was getting special treatment compared to a couple of other players on the team with legal issues because he is a big star.
AP is is a real beast on the field, and he is a great running back, but he has got himself into a serious jam now.
The Minnesota Vikings have quickly changed their mind about having running back Adrian Peterson around the team after he was indicted last week in Montgomery County, Texas, on a count of reckless or negligent injury to a child. In a statement released early Wednesday morning, the Vikings announced that Peterson has been placed on the NFL Exempt/Commissioner's permission list, effectively suspending him from all team activities until further notice. This means that Peterson will not play in the team's game against the New Orleans Saints this Sunday, and could not suit up until his case is resolved.
