I'd say that all that's left for tomorrow is for an NFL player to beat his dog, but we already got Michael Vick.
I also heard on the news that a new medical study was released today stating that 30% of all NFL players will succumb to premature and "severe brain damage." Aside from ALS and other diseases, NFL players are 8x more likely to develop Alzheimer's before age 50 than the general population, 10x more likely up to age 55, and the odds even even more after that. What a retirement plan!

since i became a grandma it's all but impossible to even read about these cretins. i remember feeling horrible for this loser back when his younger child was murdered. if memory serves, he hadn't met that child. wish he'd not met this one. i worry for what this little boy endures while in the care of his mother.
Thank you for not letting me think I'm crazy. I knew I recognized the name from last year despite not following ball players. This is the so incredibly horrible. What kind of shape is this mother in?
Adrian Peterson's Son Dies From Injuries
And in normal homes, the discipline vs. genuine love and nurturing--it balances out. I got spanked a couple of times in childhood. It did not traumatize me in the least because it was the punishment of last resort, and I knew I'd done something terrible, really crossed a line. The first was running into traffic, something I'd been told countless times not to do. I was being badass and I almost got hit. I was my parents' only child. I knew I was gonna get spanked and I knew I deserved it. Even more so, the second time, and I'm still ashamed to even say this, but I was mean to my grandma and made her cry. Fuck that. I OWNED that spanking.
But my parents never hit me otherwise. They were never even physically rough with me. My Dad had issues --mental illness stuff--but he was a very affectionate and caring parent, as was my Mum. To me, their usage of spanking in those extreme situations was entirely appropriate and damn, I never did those things again. I understood, moreover, that they didn't like doing it and that they loved me.
This guy....he sounded way too much like he was enjoying the shit out of beating his child. With a tree branch!! Disgusting wretch. I hope they kick him out of football.
I know this is a very unpopular viewpoint, but I really dislike football. So fucking violent, so full of violent, stupid men. I just can't. Sorry. If it makes anyone feel better, I hate golf too.
It amazes me how parents like this asshole are violent, live violently, beat their kids....and then cluelessly wonder later how/why they've raised another generation of violent men.
That child has not one but two shitty parents, evidently. I am so sorry for him. Poor little boy. I hope his life isn't already programmed for violent, hopeless misery. I feel like child abuse is really the root cause of most of the evil and cruelty in the world....behind most every sick creep lies a nightmarish childhood. It sure seems to stack up that way, anyhow.

kind of ironic that one "whooping" was for shoving a kid and the other one was for scratching his brother 's face. Guess the cycle has already begun . ETA Not saying it is the kid's fault or tgat he deserved that, just to clarify
Mothers, plural. definitely not the same woman. He allegedly has 7 kids all with different mothers. He met the child who died for the first time a month before his tragic death.
I've met AP several times we live close enough to each other, he's sweet but my husband pointed out he's stupid. He really is, he was beat as a child and doesn't have the common sense to realize it was wrong and continues the cycle with his children.
How a man who lost a son to similar violence does this though I don't know.

holy shit, you're right! that was him? i knew i thought it was weird that his name actually sounded familiar when i don't know any football players other than peyton manning because of levitt's weird obsession but i don't even know what team he plays for.
what a fucking asshole. you'd think going through something like that (ok, indirectly since he didn't even know the kid) would make him question his own violence?

Adrian Peterson turned himself over to authorities early Saturday morning on child abuse charges ... faintly smiling for his mug shot.
Peterson was booked in Houston just after 1 AM and released a half hour later.
The football star is accused of beating his 4-year-old son with a tree branch ... hitting him so hard it left welts and caused him to bleed.
Peterson actually admitted to cops he gave his son "a whooping" and says it's the same treatment he got as a kid. Peterson's lawyer adds that his client "deeply regrets the unintentional injury."
The Vikings have deactivated Peterson for Sunday's game.

I'm just so disgusted by this damn story. I also saw the photos of the child's welts and marks on the his body, which really broke my heart. And according to AP's texts, he hit the child in the scrotum too, wtf?! To me, corporal punishment should be a LAST resort, and do as much as you can to avoid it! However, this was an outright beat down, I don't care what anyone says. I've never understood parents who seem to take pride in beating a defenseless child at all. Too many people pass this pathology down one generation after another and take their anger and frustrations in life out on their children.
I was spanked as a child by my father with a belt. I would have to strip naked and he would strike me with a belt. I've even been whipped with an extension cord too. As I got older, he would hit me with his fists. To this day, I have a lot of anger and resentment issues towards my father and we rarely communicate. He was also a verbally abusive asshole and he still tries to turn every conversation we have into a power battle for control and to prove his manhood. He was severely beaten and abused by his father and he and his siblings like to sit around and laugh about it while the rest of us look in horror. One day he had the nerve to turn to me and say "see, you didn't really have it that bad compared to us, did you?" And I told him about how emotionally abusive he was and how he constantly made me feel like shit as I grew up. He acted as if what I was saying was such a surprise, gtfoh...
I know a lot of old-school people tend to think they turned out okay in spite of getting those types of beatings, but in my family, I can see how they can inflict damage on someone well into adulthood and the strained relationships they have with their kids. Several of my cousins have little or nothing to do with their parents/my dad's siblings. I had to learn that tantrums and reacting angrily all the time will get you nowhere in life.
I get a lot of shit from some friends of mine who wonder why I don't really visit my parents all that often anymore, but some of the memories are just too painful and I can barely stand to be in a room more than 30 minutes with my father to this day. My mother lives in her world of denial and delusions, so I learned long ago that she isn't the person to talk to about these issues. My brother has his issues with them and harbors a lot of anger and resentment towards them as well.
Nevan, my heart breaks for you and your story. People have no idea how this type of punishment can deeply affect people.
