The Vikings handling this really poorly. Once the sponsors started dropping, they decide to deactivate him AGAIN. Lol.

Just poor management all around. These dudes who are running the show are really out of touch with the public. How could they possibly have thought this could go any other way?
 
Heres the statement that was issued about an hour ago.

Eden Prairie, MN (September 17, 2014) – This has been an ongoing and deliberate process since last Friday’s news. In conversations with the NFL over the last two days, the Vikings advised the League of the team’s decision to revisit the situation regarding Adrian Peterson. In response, the League informed the team of the option to place Adrian on the Exempt/Commissioner’s Permission list, which will require that Adrian remain away from all team activities while allowing him to take care of his personal situation until the legal proceedings are resolved. After giving the situation additional thought, we have decided this is the appropriate course of action for the organization and for Adrian.

We are always focused on trying to make the right decision as an organization. We embrace our role - and the responsibilities that go with it – as a leader in the community, as a business partner and as an organization that can build bridges with our fans and positively impact this great region. We appreciate and value the input we have received from our fans, our partners and the community.

While we were trying to make a balanced decision yesterday, after further reflection we have concluded that this resolution is best for the Vikings and for Adrian. We want to be clear: we have a strong stance regarding the protection and welfare of children, and we want to be sure we get this right. At the same time we want to express our support for Adrian and acknowledge his seven-plus years of outstanding commitment to this organization and this community. Adrian emphasized his desire to avoid further distraction to his teammates and coaches while focusing on his current situation; this resolution accomplishes these objectives as well.

We will support Adrian during this legal and personal process, but we firmly believe and realize this is the right decision. We hope that all of our fans can respect the process that we have gone through to reach this final decision. – Zygi Wilf and Mark Wilf

Corporate America for ya. Forget doing the right thing... It's all about those dollar bills. Ya... Have fun with your new stadium and 1-15 record...
 
Vikings dont give two ***** about the well being of anything but they pockets. Its funny because they really think that people won't see how poorly they handled the situation.
 
Nfl is a complete joke right now, running in circles chasing their tail.


The governor speaks then they follow his actions, but just 2 hrs before AP was a def go for Sunday.

Anybody notice how Rogers situation is somehow being swept under the rug?
 
Im going to say this. The nfl is a job, if you catch cases now working where your at your getting fired or laid off
 
In thinking about it...all these instances of abuse were bound to catch up with Peterson at some point. I'm fairly certain that teachers, or anyone who works with kids, are mandated by law to report any signs of abuse that they see with their students. It was only a matter of time for Peterson.
 
I agree with the Vikings decision to deactivate him, but they shouldn't have said he'll play Sunday then backtrack when the sponsors threaten to leave. Not a good look for them.

I don't think he'll play another game this season, or another as a Viking.
