The recent news about the suspension of NFL players and the NFL domestic violence has left fans with mixed emotions. It has been difficult for them to accept the domestic violence committed by some of the players.
After all, fans and the general public expect NFL players to be role models and not domestic abusers.
There is need for some sort of interventions before the worst happens…sponsors withdrawing their sponsorship for some of the NFL players and teams.
Obviously, corporate sponsors of NFL players and teams are waiting to see a lot of changes being done.
For now, domestic violence of NFL players is the off-field NFL crime.
Adrian Peterson is one of the NFL players (Minnesota Vikings), he has been indicted on charges related to beating his 4 year old son with a switch. The beating resulted in some very serious looking welts which were made public this week.
By this point, that isn’t breaking news….
But according to a report from Houston TV station KHOU, allegations that Peterson has beaten another of his children (also four years old). KHOU reported that the mother of the child filed a report with Child Protective Services over the incident.
From the reports that are trending now on the media and internet, it isn’t known what Peterson used to administer the beating, but whatever it was, it left a scar on the four year old’s face.
Charges were not filed in connection with the allegations and what, if any, conclusion Child Protective Services reached have not been made available to the public.
Peterson’s attorney issued a statement denying any inappropriate behavior, but in the face of these two allegations of child abuse, the Vikings have decided to pull him from Sunday’s matchup with the New Orleans Saints.
Jonathan Avery Dwyer (Arizona Cardinals backup running back) was arrested on 17th September 2014 for domestic violence. He was later on released.
