In this country we are supposed to be innocent until proven guilty. The Vikings deactivated Peterson in the wake of his indictment for child injury. Then re activated him "pending the legal process" . But then a little pressure from some sponsors and it's " Yo Adrian, you are GUILTY until proven innocent. "
No matter how you see this case the Vikings come off like gutless bumbling buffoons.
Even if Peterson is found guilty it would appear that he thought he was providing "discipline" . Easier to correct than someone who lost his temper and beat a kid about the head and face
