Adrian Peterson Indicted

"At some point you need evidence and that will have to be given to the police."

That's my point, the NFL is setting a precedent to act without evidence. Even if the player is eventually proved innocent, the damage is done.

That ship sailed long ago, see Ben Roethlisberger. In the cases of Rice and Hardy, they had a criminal proceeding to go on. Peterson has public photos. The new policy doesn't change anything. If anything, the players in these cases are better off as they are getting paid.

The last sighting of the Duke Lacrosse "rape victim" was her mug shot.

In the can on a murder beef.

How exactly are they ever proved innocent? The criminal courts don't prove innocence.

Peterson is suspended until April 15th (earliest reinstatement).

It is harsh, but I would say appropriate. AP will be back in league earning plenty. I hope he is a changed man, but that is optimistic.
