I thought that I could start this thread to discuss NFL player activities that result into high crimes & misdemeanors,& then we can just use the 2014 NFL thread to discuss.......football.
Ah the good ole days when we beat our women and children.
I'll tell you what if you think it's cool to hit a kid with a switch how'd you like it if you argued with your boss at work and he pulled out a branch at hit you with it? You'd be alright with that because you wouldn't argue again, right?

Alot of it is cultural & what class(caste) in life you grew up in. In the south it is/was very common to get "whooped" by your parents.Their intentions were not to (actually) kill you,even though they threatened it. Dad pulling up his shirt so that you could see his leather belt did a lot back then to eliminate mischief on your part. Of course if you had a parent who over did it,hopefully it would have influenced you NOT to repeat the cycle. I remember getting paddled in school with a paddle that resembled a cricket bat. After the first "lick," you don't remember feeling the second or third one. Harsh yes,but you also didn't have the disciplinary problems in school that you have now,nor the need to call the police to come in & cart little Johnny away in hand cuffs for shooting spit wads. People complaining about the problems in school today because of lack of discipline at home,forget the very important fact today that if you actually try to discipline your child & "try to set them straight," you face potential child abuse charges. My father used a leather belt on me AND belts leave marks/welts. It's just a fact of life. Switches "tear into you," always have,always will. It sounds very harsh & cruel in today's politically correct "enlightened" society,but it worked. Fear works wonders in modifying behavior that can later on manifest itself into criminal behavior. I promise you,the police getting involved in school discipline today IS NOT ANY BETTER THAN paddling was back in the day.Absolutely no hitting here whatsoever. If the little guy does anything "wrong" like trying to flush mama's iPhone in the toilet...we calmly explain to him what he did was wrong. We never raise our voices either....never, not at home or anywhere else.
ESPN had an excellent discussion about this. All of the black panelists mentioned how their parents "beat them with switches & belts," & it made them better people for it,but........they would do it to THEIR children. They all to a man also said that if you draw blood whipping your child,that's not discipline,THAT'S ABUSE.As far as am concern, beating a defenseless child is much worse than beating a grown women (who can either defend herself or run).
If the NFL doesnt come down hard on AP...then that front office is run by a bunch of hypocrites.
Has already got the league looking into him talking with Jerry.Could Vikings part ways with Adrian Peterson? All options 'on the table'

You know,it seems like Adrian Peterson has been in the league forever. Even without the controversy that he's going,you'd think that he'd be slowing down by now.Has already got the league looking into him talking with Jerry.
