Why isn't the outcry over Peterson nearly as loud as the outcry over Rice?

Two words: no video

Jeff Spicoli

9/15/14 9:28pm

But there are photos. Almost the same thing.

garyfan

9/15/14 9:29pm

Peterson spanked his kid. Rice knocked his wife out, and on camera no less.

Virginia Ute

9/15/14 9:28pm

"Spanked"?

garyfan

9/15/14 9:29pm

Essentially.

Virginia Ute

9/15/14 9:33pm

Hopefully you were never "essentially spanked" as a child.

garyfan

9/15/14 9:36pm

I'm not a fan of what Peterson did, but can you honestly not tell the difference

Virginia Ute

9/15/14 9:38pm

If the difference is so obvious, it should be easy for you to explain it to me.

garyfan

9/15/14 9:40pm

First of all, you're comparing allegations to video evidence.

Virginia Ute

9/15/14 9:43pm

Peterson's case goes beyond allegations. At least with the first case.

garyfan

9/15/14 9:46pm

Well, if you can't watch that video and see the woman was knocked unconscious by

Virginia Ute

9/15/14 9:50pm

Sounds like you were in the elevator and evaluating her consciousness

garyfan

9/15/14 9:52pm

I'm a doctor. I have literally seen people die from lesser force blows to the

Virginia Ute

9/15/14 9:56pm

Nobody is debating the severity of the incident or that her life wasn't in

garyfan

9/15/14 10:00pm

Exactly when she lost consciousness is a moot point.

Virginia Ute

9/15/14 10:03pm

If you think I'm trying to hide from any discussion,

garyfan

9/15/14 10:09pm

You lost because you disagree with me. Also, you ARE blowing smoke, or you just

Virginia Ute

9/15/14 10:15pm

You are misrepresenting my position.

garyfan

9/15/14 10:28pm

You obviously didn't read the post you replied to. I'm done.

Virginia Ute

9/15/14 10:29pm

Sorry I didn't provide the response you were hoping for. Toodles.

garyfan

9/15/14 10:31pm

There is no doubt that Rice punched his girlfriend. Regardless of the

tassell

9/15/14 10:52pm

I can respect that. Honestly.

garyfan

9/15/14 11:01pm

I was. Great opportunity to say...what might have been OK then...

BarraCouga

9/15/14 9:44pm

What happened to Peterson's son(s?) happened to you? Sorry to hear that.

garyfan

9/15/14 9:50pm

Well...only the switch. And Adrian Peterson has admitted to that.

BarraCouga

9/15/14 9:53pm

Reported on radio today he punched the kid and stuffed leaves in the boys mouth.

SoValleyCOUG

9/15/14 9:40pm

I'm going off of the beating on the legs with the switch allegations.

Virginia Ute

9/15/14 9:44pm

Same here. If it was a switch to his rear, no big deal. If he did punch and

SoValleyCOUG

9/15/14 9:56pm

agreed

palangi

9/15/14 10:11pm

That changes things if true, but those are unproven at this point.

BengalCougar

9/15/14 9:50pm

Agreed.

SoValleyCOUG

9/15/14 10:20pm

It's not as bad because I don't think Peterson had the same intent Rice did....

BengalCougar

9/15/14 9:31pm

I think that's a very generous interpretation of the information we have so far.

garyfan

9/15/14 9:35pm

I think it's very accurate, it's how Peterson was disciplined as a kid and he...

BengalCougar

9/15/14 9:38pm

But he's a grown man now. He should know the difference between parenting

garyfan

9/15/14 9:43pm

I am not saying it's an excuse, it's wrong. But it explains why he does it...

BengalCougar

9/15/14 9:45pm

Either way AP should be charged . . .

wapiti

9/15/14 11:27pm

Peterson was wrong and ignorant, Rice was wrong and criminal

mosterlow

9/15/14 9:52pm

not even close to as bad

palangi

9/15/14 9:36pm

How so? Honest question.

garyfan

9/15/14 9:36pm

We have learned through sad experience that "honest question" never means

Shimmy

9/15/14 11:38pm

By the way, 45 out of 45 people who voted in this poll disagree with you.

garyfan

9/15/14 9:38pm

Add context to that poll and you would get a different result.

BengalCougar

9/15/14 9:39pm

It was in the NFL category. I think people know what I was getting at.

garyfan

9/15/14 9:41pm

From the posts of yours I've read you seem like a weirdo

SBJ

9/15/14 9:43pm

Feel free to engage in adult conversation when you're ready.

garyfan

9/15/14 9:48pm

I have been, that's what FO is for.

SBJ

9/15/14 10:28pm

Well there was a poll just posted that was specific, very different results....

BengalCougar

9/15/14 9:46pm

Let me add a poll that's in context for you...

cougarblue

9/15/14 9:43pm

Are you crazy? Not close to as bad?? It's worse. Ray Rice punched a grown

BE-WHY-YOU

9/15/14 9:43pm

you're crazy, that's stupid to compare a knockout blow to switch

palangi

9/15/14 10:07pm

Common culture in the South? Not now it isn't.

garyfan

9/15/14 10:29pm

Fans burn the Jersey of a guy for mistreating dogs. Mistreating kids, no problem

El Fuego

9/15/14 9:46pm

and by mistreating you mean fighting them to the death and/or drowning them

palangi

9/15/14 10:09pm

No outcry? It's all they talked about on sports talk radio today.

LiveCoug

9/15/14 9:47pm

Relatively speaking, of course.
