You are doing wonders to change people's opinions about Duke grads. Or ... not.

You seem way too invested in your plan to probably hit kids you don't even have yet. When you'd do it, for what offense, how often, on what part of the body. That's too much thinking about your inherited rational for it. I don't mean this condescendingly, I honestly don't, but you should look at that. You already…

so you were hit to teach you not to hit? that's some shitty logic right there.

I'm sorry, but that's nonsense. Again, it if worked like that you'd only have to do it once. They "swear", you hit them, they "get it", they never swear again. Except that's not how it goes. Because you hit them again and again for a wider and wider range of offenses.

I'm sorry that you were abused and that has left you believing it's okay to be abused. Shoving leaves in a 4 year olds mouth and beating him until he bleeds with a tree branch is not good parenting. It's a shame you've been so warped to believe different.

You're either being disingenuous or ridiculous. A study of 179 teenagers does not a study make. By that same token, smacking your wife around will probably get your dinner on the table on time as well and beating your kids will get you a "Yes, Sir" and temporary good grades through fear. But they're still long-term…

Which argument, Spanky? Seems to me you've got at least five separate ones going on. But you can handle it, right? Peterson's kid should just man up like you did.

According to data obtained from the NFL by Darren Rovell of ESPN, the NFL "takes a 25% royalty from the wholesale price (1/2 retail), donates 90% of royalty to American Cancer Society."

You're coming at it sideways. It's an actual element of the charge, which means that without injury that charge wouldn't even come up for consideration. It's true that he hasn't been convicted of the charge yet, but that's not the same thing as saying that 1) if the child was injured he'll be convicted, or 2) the…

My parents beat the shit out of me, and now I'm commenting on Deadspin.

That's not Texas-specific, that's what a grand jury can do anywhere. My point was about the police and prosecutors choosing to charge him and go before a grand jury in the first place. Texas prosecutors don't prosecute "spankings," that's just considered a legitimate, if not preferable, parenting choice. And if you…

If I can't beat the holy living shit out of my child with a weapon, how can I expect that child to respect me?

I think we can all agree that the NFL doesn't give a shit about women, kids, puppies or anything at all other than the $$$$$.

Cue the "My parents beat the shit out of me and I turned out fine" comments.

Not wearing it to support women, either. $$$$$$

RT @Ravens The child deeply regrets his role in the incident.

Or Greg Maddux. I am done.

Roger Goodell and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Week.

I swear if the next story that comes up says Ken Griffey, Jr. was on PEDs I'm quitting sports for good.

Now we get to find out who the NFL cares less about, women or kids.
