Adrian Peterson

As if the allegations that surfaced a few weeks ago regarding Adrian Peterson's abuse of his 4-year-old son weren't bad enough, now there's news of more troubles for the former NFL MVP.

Amidst growing public pressure, the Minnesota Vikings have changed course and deactivated Adrian Peterson, placing him on the exempt/commissioner's permission list and making him unavailable for the foreseeable future.

It was the regular season home opener today at the temporary home of the Minnesota Vikings, TCF Bank Stadium, and despite the controversy, plenty of Vikings fans were wearing their #28 jerseys and supporting Adrian Peterson.

Twitter comes to the defense of Adrian Peterson with a rush of ignorant tweets.

Today we all learned about an incredibly disturbing incident involving one of Minnesota's most loved athletes, Adrian Peterson. The star running back for the Vikings has been charged with abusing his 4-year-old son.

Minnesota Vikings star running back Adrian Peterson was indicted on charges of reckless or negligent injury to a child by a Montgomery County, Texas grand jury. The case stems from an incident where Peterson used a switch to discipline the child involved.

Well, here we are again. Another year, another Viking/Packer game at Lambeau Field with McHugh Events.
