Do you really consider what Peterdick did a spanking? I've spanked my kids, but never never on bareskin and never never with an object; belt, stick, wooden spoon, etc. That brings it to the level of assult in my opinion. Just because he is famous doesn't give him a pass.

Which law allows a parent to assault their child?
That smacks of being similar to someone asking, "So how many times did you beat your wife?" where it is implied the person has a wife and beats her.
There are some who believe that spanking is not assault and so for them it is a loaded question.
Assault; Battery; two different crimes in most jurisdictions which a vast majority of people confuse.
Assault - no contact
Battery - contact

I may be wrong. Good calł Jelly if it does go unresolved the rest of the year.
Andrew Brandt nails it.
@adbrandt: Let's be real here: this was a negotiation, pure and simple. AP goes away, gets paid, Vikings get heat off, NFL parks him on a list.
@JasonPhilCole Greg Hardy, agent meeting with #Panthers this AM, expected to be placed on Commish's Exempt List.
What about the 49ers and McDonald?

FTFM
Thanks for the clarification #3
@SportsCenter: THIS JUST IN: Nike suspends contract with Adrian Peterson. (via @darrenrovell) http://t.co/qIiumGMuUU
Nike and Anheuser-Busch asserting the moral high ground. Right.
Yeah those companies are just exploiting an opportunity, but it is good that the opportunity they are exploiting happens to be the right thing to do. I don't give them any credit because it's what they should be doing anyway, but I'm just glad that for once the right thing to do is the popular thing to do.
Beaterson's done for the year and likely done with the Vikings.
These companies make me sick. The problem is that if you boycotted every company that was full of crap, you would have to go uni-bomber style and live in the woods of Montana.

Exactly Ammo. I hate the way the press keeps calling it a spanking. Let's call it what it was — The boy was whipped. Actually, what Peterson did was closer to caning like the do to criminals in some Asian countries.
If anyone is interested, here's a list of every NFL arrest since 2000:
Too bad for Zygi that he didn't facilitate a trade to send AP to DallAss.
Target has pulled all Adrian Peterson merchandise from their stores and online

I wonder if it ends up in Africa like all the Vikings Super Bowl Champions gear
LMAO!
How can I get in on this media "blitz" so I can get the timesfour name out there more? Like Radisson & Target & Anheuser Busch
Star in a youtube video standing in front of a Radisson front desk, Bud in hand, with a bullseye on the back of your timesfour.com T shirt.
Beer causes domestic violence? No, it's just dumbasses that shouldn't drink.
Quite frankly....the vikings have never gotten anything right.
you got that right !

That sums it up nicely.
"After giving the situation additional thought, we have decided this is the appropriate course of action for the organization and for Adrian," Vikings owners Zygi Wilf and Mark Wilf said in a statement. "We are always focused on trying to make the right decision as an organization.
Bull**** Zygi, you were forced into doing the right thing.
@AP: MORE: Police arrest Cardinals' Jonathan Dwyer on assault charges; police say victims were woman and toddler: http://t.co/Vi9NMqypPw
PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona Cardinals running back Jonathan Dwyer has been arrested on aggravated assault charges in connection with two altercations at his home in late July involving a 27-year-old woman and an 18-month-old child.
Phoenix police announced the arrest Wednesday, the latest in the string of cases involving off-the-field violence by NFL players.
The Cardinals said they became aware of the situation on Wednesday and are cooperating with the investigation. He has been deactivated from all team activities.
Police say the victims are a 27-year-old woman and an 18-month-old child. One of the counts was "aggravated assault causing a fracture."
@AdamSchefter: With Cardinals RB Jonathan Dwyer under investigation, team announced it is deactivating him from all activities.
@AZCardinals: Statement from the #AZCardinals on RB Jonathan Dwyer. http://t.co/Xx183nMMaC
@adbrandt: Jonathan Dwyer deactivated by @AZCardinals after DV allegations. Wonder if he/agent are asking for the "Commissioner Exempt" deal.
@maryebrennan that's bc we can't talk like that all of us don't support domestic violets but we can't dog nobody

Never would have suspected Peterson of this. I guess it's like that old saying. "You can't judge a book by it's cover." He should be banned from the NFL and spend time in jail. what a jerk

Thank God! Let't talk about the real victim here....That ****er was stealing touchdowns and carries from my fantasy boy Ellington

Jim Harbaugh has a no tolerance policy when it comes to hitting women or children. Did you not hear that? No tolerance.
Wait, what's that? He's still playing the guy arrested for domestic abuse of his pregnant girlfriend? Well that seems made up, as Coach Harbaught was explicitly clear - no tolerance. Please stop making things up.
You would think if these dumdums had any type of clue...this of all weeks would be the time to walk the **** away

Yet another fine colladge edmucation.
Domestic violets?
Why would you support imported violets? What kind of America-hater are you?

I think the Dwyer assault happened in July. But yeah, he shoulda walked away in July too.
Clearly a better vetting process is needed. GMs need to start playing "I never" with potential players before the draft.
Wish she was still around, but Emily Latella would surely have had something to say about domestic violets.
Here she is with her scathing editorial on "violins on TV"

It was that flour (spelling intended) 101 class he took. Either that or he is a flower child - a generation (or two) removed.
