Honestly, glad he's in Washington just didn't look right in Black & Gold.
He turned out to be a real Fungo.

There's nothing wrong with disciplining with a belt. Myself and my 4 siblings were, as were all of my dozens of cousins, my parents, aunts and uncles, grandparents. Everyone turned out to he a well adjusted individual room no creeps in the bunch, no one in prison or anything. I discipline my children with a belt when the situation calls for it too...and that isn't often, because they're good kids and they understand the consequences of getting too far out of line. Which is exactly why you discipline with a belt in the first place. AP is fully within his rights as a parent and needs to be left the hell alone about it.

I was disciplined with a belt as well, but when you whip a child to the point that it leaves welps and bruises then you are into the abuse side of things,

Re: Adrian Peterson admits he still hits his son with a belt
 

Who said the belt is leaving welps and bruises? You seem to be making an assumption based on a previous incident with a completely different object.

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.

I try not to whoop mine that often, but I tend to let people raise their kids how they see fit. If their behavior interferes with my children, I give my kids the green light to handle them accordingly without repercussion. A little old school, a littl new school, Ma’at. Balance.

Re: Adrian Peterson admits he still hits his son with a belt
 

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.

Re: Adrian Peterson admits he still hits his son with a belt
 

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.
