The NFL now supporting child abusers

We got to know how the National Felons League feels about wife-beating as they tried to and were caught trying to conceal the severity of Ray Rice knocking his then fiance unconscious in an elevator as they lied that they did not see the security video of the incident when in fact a law enforcement officer did indeed showed them the video.

We also had Felons from the 49ers, and the Panthers who have also beaten their life partners to a pulp. In the case of the 49ers, their Felon Ray McDonald is being charged with domestic violence for beating up his girl but still the team is standing by this Felon and his violent behavior and has allowed him to play. The Panthers on the other hand, have decided to 'deactivate' their Felon Greg Hardy after being convicted a while ago back in July for the vicious NFL style attack he unleashed on his woman. They waited until now when the heat is on to actually do anything about it.

The aloofness to such despicable anti-social behavior and its border-line endorsement of it has brought a shining hot light on the league and it has been a tremendous 'distraction' no doubt. Its like a new Michael Sam coming out story is being revealed every 30 minutes. So much for trying to 'avoid distractions' huh bigots? Ironically in the end, the league turned out to be its very own huge distraction.

But just as we thought things couldn't get any worse for the poor billionaire 'woe is us' NFL, the hetero-pandemonium continues as another Felon who plays for the Vikings is being charged with a violent crime, this time for child abuse:

Minnesota Vikings star running back Adrian Peterson turned himself in to Montgomery County, Texas, authorities early Saturday morning. 

He was booked into the Montgomery County jail at 1:06 a.m. CT and released at 1:35 a.m. CT after posting the $15,000 bond. 

Peterson had been indicted by a grand jury on charges of reckless or negligent injury to a child and a warrant had been issued for his arrest. He flew back early Saturday morning to Minnesota, where he has been deactivated for the Vikings' home game against the Patriots on Sunday.

Still, the team stands by this child abuser and refuses to punish him or kick him out:

"Today’s decision was made after significant thought, discussion and consideration. As evidenced by our decision to deactivate Adrian from yesterday’s game, this is clearly a very important issue. On Friday, we felt it was in the best interests of the organization to step back, evaluate the situation, and not rush to judgment given the seriousness of this matter. At that time, we made the decision that we felt was best for the Vikings and all parties involved. 

To be clear, we take very seriously any matter that involves the welfare of a child. At this time, however, we believe this is a matter of due process and we should allow the legal system to proceed so we can come to the most effective conclusions and then determine the appropriate course of action. This is a difficult path to navigate, and our focus is on doing the right thing. Currently we believe we are at a juncture where the most appropriate next step is to allow the judicial process to move forward. 

We will continue to monitor the situation closely and support Adrian’s fulfillment of his legal responsibilities throughout this process."

You know they have failed as they begin the second paragraph with "To be clear, we take very seriously any matter that involves the welfare of a child." Not believable.

Oh yeah, did I mentioned that many NFL teams considered being gay a 'distraction' and hence they passed on Michael Sam.

I'm a jealous homo. Maybe I should start beating women, drunk driving, have dog fighting rings and abusing children so that I can get a great paying career at the NFL.

On the other hand, I think having a criminal record isn't worth it.
