    Minny Governor: Suspend Adrian Peterson..Major Sponsors Dropping Vikings..
    MINNEAPOLIS -- The governor of Minnesota has joined the chorus of those calling for theMinnesota Vikings to suspend running back Adrian Peterson.
    Mark Dayton -- who spearheaded the legislative fight for the Vikings' new $1 billion stadium and stood next to team owner Zygi Wilf at the groundbreaking in November -- released a statement on Tuesday saying he believes the Vikings should take Peterson off the field until his child abuse case is resolved in Montgomery County, Texas.
    Peterson was indicted on one count of reckless or negligent injury to a child Friday, stemming from an incident earlier this year when he used a switch to discipline his son, and he will make his first appearance in court on Oct. 8. His case might not go to trial until next year, however, and the Vikings announced on Monday that Peterson will be allowed to play while his case is being decided.
    That move, Dayton said Tuesday, was a mistake.
    "It is an awful situation," he said in a statement provided to The Associated Press. "Yes, Mr. Peterson is entitled to due process and should be 'innocent until proven guilty.' However, he is a public figure; and his actions, as described, are a public embarrassment to the Vikings organization and the state of Minnesota. Whipping a child to the extent of visible wounds, as has been alleged, should not be tolerated in our state. Therefore, I believe the team should suspend Mr. Peterson, until the accusations of child abuse have been resolved by the criminal justice system.
    "However, I will not turn my back on the Vikings and their fans, as some have suggested. The Vikings belong to Minnesota -- and in Minnesota. This has been the team's only home, and our citizens, including myself, have been its most dedicated fans."
    Dayton's statements come the day after the Vikings announced that Peterson would practice this week and play Sunday against the New Orleans Saints. Shortly after the news conference the team held to announce that decision, the Radisson hotels chain -- whose logo was on a press banner behind Vikings general manager Rick Spielman as he discussed the decision -- announced it was suspending its sponsorship of the team.
    A television station in Houston has reported that Peterson faced a similar accusation regarding another son in 2013.

          Wilf is a clown and a criminal as well - see his troubles in New Jersey last year! The whole organization has been a disgrace for years - remember Minnetonka? No surprise they've made a mess of this. Peterson seems to get off on beating his kids. Blaming it on his upbringing is ridiculous! Time for the ViQueens to make the move to LA...

            Nike pulled all the Peterson jerseys from their stores. Sponsors of the Nfl are pissed at how all these disgusting matters have been handled by Goodell and the owners.

              An eye-opening development: Nike stores in Twin Cities have pulled all Adrian Peterson merch from shelves. Nike.

                  Budweiser is also pissed at the Nfl. Imagine if they pull their sponsorship? That would be the end of Goodell.

                    Budwesier official beer sponsor:

                    "We are disappointed and increasingly concerned by the recent incidents that have overshadowed this NFL season. We are not yet satisfied with the league's handling of behaviors that so clearly go against our own company culture and moral code. We have shared our concerns and expectations with the league."

                        Goodell is going to have to indefinitely suspend: Hardy, Peterson and McDonald. If he doesn't. He will be gone. The sponsors are going to leave.

                        Crossroads type of situation here.

                                Wonder if the gov of Minnesota would stop being the governor if he was accused of a crime until it was resolved? Probably not

                                        I think he went too far whipping the boy, but I think he's just dumb, not a child abuser. People referring to a switch as a "stick" probably isn't helping his cause.

                                        Everybody needs to calm the fukk down.

                                              Vikings are some lucky penetrates. They got the new stadium deal done before the shit hit the fan. Otherwise, you can bet that the owners would be more concerned about the court of public opinion.

                                                Ya most of the kids these days are trash because theyre not disciplined enough.
                                                Parents dont give 2 shets about there kids and they let them do whatever they want.
                                                I see alot of kids these days with 0 respect towards ppl they feel like they deserve whatever the fawk they want.
                                                If i was a kid right now my Dad would probably beat me for asking for the new iphone.
                                                But i do agree AP is in the wrong he went way overboard and hopefully that animal learns from this.

When you get older you realize why people do the things they do. Any parent can raise their children the way they want too. Getting your ass beat every single day is child abuse. Getting your ass kicked in when you do something that you were TOLD NOT TO DO... isn't abuse. Bunch of pusses in this world.
                                                    My mom beat me too. And often. But my 2 problems with Peterson's discipline methods:

                                                    1.) 4 year old child.

                                                    2.) Whipped bare-ass 15 to 20 times until opened wounds were visible and hit in the nutsack with a stick.

                                                    Spank a kid, don't torture them.

                                                        I've seen parents slap their kids across the face and slap their ass in public for fukking up or mouthing off and I have no problems with that. I do have an issue with holding a very small child down and repeatedly whipping them bare-ass with a weapon.

                                                          you're making too much sense...of course people arent gonna talk about that since they're happy in their 200k house and driving their luxury cars...those kids dont count since they're 3rd world country.

                                                            I got hit with spoons, combs, wiffle bats, hangers, belts, the nearest fukkin object. If I were to take pictures 10 min after there would be fukkin welts too. I turned out fine, I was a jerk off, I understand. I don't agree that a kid should be bludgeoned nor do I think the fukkin kid should have his balls hit. Why should it change the mans job until the courts sentence him?

Pretty obvious though this clown is not a REAL dad but just another dipshit going around contaminating our society by dropping his nut irresponsibly. Hell the last kid that died last year I believe he never even met wtf?!? Truly a huge problem in our society that goes largely overlooked. Any dipshit can father a child ....takes a man to raise one. Enjoy being broke in a few years A.P. Can someone explain to these idiots how much cheaper condoms are not only for themselves but society in long run.
