The NFL, The Minnesota Vikings, and the Carolina Panthers, Ray Rice all SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We all know how I feel about the NFL and Ray Rice.
Now let's take about the Minnesota Vikings. Their star player is Adrian Peterson. This past week he was indicted for child abuse. The Minnesota Vikings did the correct thing and deactivated Peterson for this past Sundays game due to the charges. Now after losing Sudnay's game, the Minnesota Vikings have announced that, with absolutely no changes in the situation, Adrian Peterson will be playing this coming Sunday. WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Carolina Panthers have a player, Greg Hardy , who has acutally been convicted of abuse in a court of law. They were going to play him this past Sunday right up until the last minute, and then IMHO, after Minnesota deactivated Peterson, Carolina suddenly deactivated thier player. WhyTF was he not deactivated the minute he was convicted???????????
And Dear Sweet Ray Rice plans to appeal his being kicked from NFL. This after initially saying he would accept whatever punishment he was given. Be a man for crying out loud and leave the NFL. :o

The NFL, the Players, the Union, EVERYBODY involved with the League needs to step forward and do the correct thing. We are SICK of all your talk. Talk is cheap.
So you, the League, support Women, Children, and the LGBT community or are you simply there to do PR stunts?????

If somebody gave me the best tickets possible for the next Vikings game, I would tear them up. :o

I hear you!!!

Is there something wrong when we as a people love a "game" that is violent, injurious to its players, tolerates behavior that would otherwise be criminal and is a cash cow to so many different entities???
As long as football makes MONEY - for teams, TV, advertisers and "the love of the game" makes money for colleges and makes high school boys exempt from the usual behavior standards - as long as all that holds our society is corrupted.

UGH, I have only seen one "news/sports" show that talked any sense. Everybody seems to want to support these abusive athletes and blame everybody else.
If it wasn't for these abusive athletes we wouldn't even be talking about this. ARGH.........

I was happy to hear that the Radisson Corporation has temporarily withdrawn it's sponsorship of the Minnesota Vikings because of the way they are handling the Adrian Petersen mess. The Minnesota Governor has also spoken out saying the Vikings should bench Petersen until the legal action has played out. :)
Also Anheuser-Busch the big beer company that sponsors the NFL has put out a statement basically telling the NFL to get their act together. :o
