Might be an understatement to say that the NFL is NOT having a good week PR-wise.

QuoteAccording to the police report, Peterson hit the four-year-old boy with a tree branch after removing all the leaves. The doctor told investigators that the boy had "a number of lacerations on his thighs, along with bruise-like marks on his lower back and buttocks and cuts on his hand."
The doctor also reportedly described some of the marks as open wounds and termed it "child abuse." Another person who examined the boy called the cuts "extensive."
The boy was interviewed by authorities, who reportedly told them "Daddy Peterson hit me on my face." He also told them he had been hit by a belt and that "there are a lot of belts in Daddy's closet."
The punishment happened after the boy pushed another one of Peterson's children off of a motorbike video game, according to the police report.
The Vikings have deactivated Adrian Peterson for this Sunday's game.
yea and it all happens right as the season starts. Maybe the Cowboys will fly under the radar for once....wait, who am I kidding...?
Wow, this is too bad. I was certain the Vikings would win the Super Bowl this year until this happened...
If only that 4-year-old would've just moved out and left at the first sign of trouble.
