Your hatred makes me sad.

Neither do 90% of the league which is just a bunch of felons. I hope he never plays again which he wont. So long jerkface.

There's an analysis on 538.com which shows NFL players are actually far less likely to be criminals compared to the average male in that age group. Something like 13% as likely, overall.

This whole witch hunt is a joke.

How about if you control that data for income level? Are NFL players still much less likely to commit a crime than their age group peers?

"Your hatred makes me sad."

-agreed. though, I'd also add confused as well. it's shocking to see so much angst in one person on what seems to be a very consistent basis.

I hear he is going to be the new lead singer for Journey.

Income level has nothing to do with whether or not someone is able to control their anger. They're still the same person that grew up in the inner city. The only difference is that someone decided that they deserve a ton of money. That doesn't change how a person was raised.

Sure as hell changes the outrage when you do it though.

Adrian peterson didn't grow up in the inner city, he grew up in Palestine Tx population 18,516. In some cases income level doesn't have anything how you control you"re anger.

You missed the point. An earlier poster said that NFL players are statistically much less like to commit crime when compared to males of that same age group.

Bernie pointed out, a bit too subtly for you, that such a comparison is basically meaningless as the #1 factor in crime rate is poverty. Obviously, no one in the NFL is living in poverty so the motive for a large number of crimes committed by the non-NFL population does not exist.

Therefore, in order to better assess whether the average NFLer is more likely to commit a crime than someone else in their age group you would at least need to control the income level variable. That still wouldn't be an apples to apples comparison as the NFL is not a random sample of the population at large, but it would be far, far less meaningless than the original stats claiming that NFL players are less likely to commit crimes.

1) What the heck is 538.com?

2) Are you just making shit up?

Getting paid not to work sounds pretty nice to me. Will my job do the same if I beat a woman or a child?

I honestly believe AP did not think he was doing anything wrong in this form of punishment. It has nothing to do with anger. Calling him a thug is far from the truth. He has been very active in our community outreach program for the last 3 years, and is extremely kind, well mannered, well spoken, and fun loving. I have a very string feeling that he is nothing more than a sacrificial lamb. No doubt, his baby momma didn't think ahead on this. Her monthly allowance is about to change in a drastic way.

It was not how he was raised. It was the post HGH roid rage.

Who gives a shit how he was raised? Since when is that a valid excuse for criminal behavior?

And if you are going to make the case that his was not criminal behavior, fine. Go ahead and make that case. But leave the "he was raised..." out of it.

Total BS. He has more kids out of wedlock then he can count. The guess is seven. He stuffed leaves in the kids mouth as he beat the kid. That is sick and sadistic. It's not a witch hunt it's justice. Its sad that you excuse violence against kids all because someone can run with a football.
