Adrian Peterson admits he still hits his son with a belt

Don't get sucked into this crap that the media is trying to pull. They are taking advantage of a situation where they have a public figure who made negative headlines, and they are attempting to equate anything he does from here on out as abuse, so that, by extension, anyone else who uses a belt is also abusive.

Regardless of whatever you think of Adrian Peterson, in particular, this is just the continued attempt of the left wing media to drive home the idea that discipline is abuse.

The reason AP got suspended virtually the entire season was because he whipped his son hard enough to leave easily visible marks on him; there were pics posted on this site of it.

Yes, and that was with a "switch". This article says he is using a belt. And we have no proof that he is causing any injuries with his belt. My question to you was very specific to the difference in objects, never mind that it was years ago, and none of us knows how hard he hits these days. You're just calling him an idiot because you assume he's doing the same things.

Maybe he is. But you don't know that any more than I do.

I am calling him an idiot because he is jeopardizing his NFL career and/or Child Services could take his kids from him or make his life a living hell.

Because he uses a belt? Where is your evidence that he is causing harm now? You're still going on what happened years ago. My parents would have been taken from me if your reasoning were enough to indict anyone. And that would have made people like yourself would be responsible for a great deal of anger on my part.

I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you!

No, I'm afraid you can't explain it to me. Because you haven't explained it. All we have here is AP saying that he still uses a belt. Not a switch. And we have nothing that says his boy has welps and bruises. But you are calling him an idiot, anyway. This is less about Peterson, in particular, as it is about just calling ANYONE an idiot for using a belt. Telling me about something that happened years ago has nothing to do with this.

You aren't addressing the issue. You're just bringing up an old incident over and over.

I am going to go over this one more time; please try to keep up:

In 2014, Adrian Peterson was charged with FELONY CHILD ABUSE, entered a plea deal to misdemeanor reckless assault, and was suspended from the NFL for beating his son.

Regardless of any legal issues, Peterson could also now face discipline from the NFL, which made clear when Peterson was suspended in 2014 that his reinstatement was dependent upon his agreeing to go through counseling and be a better father to his children.

If the NFL views Peterson hitting his son with a belt as a failure to “properly care for your children,” he could be suspended regardless of whether he faces criminal charges. The NFL has made it clear with past incidents that players can be disciplined under the personal-conduct policy even if they are not criminally charged.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell also told Peterson in a letter that Goodell found it troubling that, “You have shown no meaningful remorse for your conduct.” That Peterson is now openly talking about hitting his son with a belt again suggests no meaningful remorse. Peterson may again find himself sanctioned for hitting his son.

Anyone that potentially risks his career by doing the same thing again, and then tells a reporter that he did it, is in my opinion an IDIOT!

	If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.
