Hay Peterson! Can Christ get you out of child abuse charges!

You stupid jerk. You disgust me.

Just another example of trashing a successful black guy and wrecking his family. The guys have to get it through their thick skulls that the women they usually end up with a scumbag golddiggers and don't have any interest in maintaining a lifelong commitment with them. He's foolish for wasting another second on his brat and the brat's scumbag mother. Just send them a check for the next 14 years and forget that they even exist.

The Vikings, after reactivating Peterson for their next game, have decided to place him on something called the Exempt List, which bars him from any team activities (including practices and team functions outside of the actual games) for an indefinite period of time. It is in response to a very strong public backlash (particularly from various sponsors for Peterson, the Vikings, and the NFL) after word of a prior complaint for abuse was made public. There doesn't seem to be much information on it, as it apparently wasn't pursued as a legal case but was documented by child-welfare authorities. Apparently he struck one of his children in the face hard enough to leave a scar.

I think the Ray Rice situation is probably a heavy influence on the public and corporate reaction to Peterson's case, and I wonder if there will be more progress made against the view that such harsh beatings of children are "just discipline" than there will against the view that domestic violence is a "private" issue that should be left alone. Time will tell.
