I'm not surprised you are stupid enough to believe that every single doctor beats his wife and children.

Really? You mean like the judge in Alabama who beat up his wife and is still hearing cases and had the beating expunged from his record upon completing a course on domestic violence. Yeah I see that the scales of justice really worked in this case.

"If every man that struck or woman or child lost their job the streets would be filled with unemployed doctors, lawyers, policeman, fireman and many more"

So we know Adrian Peterson had a son with one woman, a son who would now be three years old but is deceased after being beaten by another man at the age of two. And he has two four-year-old sons with two other women. So we presume he impregnated three different women, none of whom he was married to, within a span…

Here's a thing: watch his reaction after he punched her in the face. Dude didn't even blink. Nobody who has just punched out their fiance/spouse/gf *for the first time* would act like that. That was the act AND reaction of a serial abuser. I'll never believe that was the first time he hit her.

If this isn't trolling, my sincerest hope is that you do not reproduce.

On behalf of my mother, who spent 15 years with an abusive man (whom she met when she was 15 and he was 30 and married when she was 33), and endured for the sake of her kids, shove your patronizing sanctimonious bullshit right up your ass.

With someone who knocked his fiancée out cold (and then dragged her body out of the elevator like she was a damn inconvenience not the mother of his child with a fucking head injury) I would bet money there is a history, with her and likely with others.

It's not about a different opinion, it's about a wrong opinion. You are just simply wrong.

No way it was the first time he hit her. He was so matter-of-fact, even after he knocked her out. If you had completely lost control and knocked your GF unconscious the one and only time, would you be, meh... got to pull her ass home again?? This has definitely happened before and it's only a matter of time before…

"If every man that struck or woman or child lost their job the streets would be filled with unemployed doctors, lawyers, policeman, fireman and many more. "

I think you are vastly overestimating the number of men who go around hitting (weaker) people. Also, your 2nd sentence seems to imply that you count yourself among these men who would be unemployed.

It's a funny thing how many people keep coming out of the woodwork to defend child abuse. Really does a great job illustrating how big a problem it is if so many people want to dismiss it as normal, and even good.

Would have been nice if he had been a dad to his son that was beaten to death.

Boy, this is one exciting NFL season so far.

I'm guessing Vikings GM Rick Spielman already had this information (but he'll probably deny it) when he had his press conference today announcing Peterson will play this weekend. This is all sounding so familiar.

How long till we find out that he's actually the one who killed his son?

It can't come as surprise to anyone that Peterson beat more than just one of his children any more than what was in the elevator video surprised anyone. These men have failed to live up to their titles and AP should be cut just as Rice was. It's an untenable situation and the Vikes would be crazy to keep this serial…

Two different four-year-old sons? If only AD's father had hit him in the scrotum with a switch.

That's Josh Brolin, ya turkey!
