So Will An NFL Player Have To Kill Someone To Be Guilty?

Oh yeah, they already have...But ask O.J. Simpson or Ray Lewis how THAT works out.

If you didn't think it could get worse for the NFL, meet Adrian Peterson. The All World running back from the Minnesota Vikings beats and whips his 4 year old son. Ray Rice beats his wife unconscious and Peterson whips his son in the testicles with a "switch" and doesn't seem to think it's a big deal. And these are just a few of the incidents we know about. How many more happen behind closed doors and no one finds out about?

Beating a woman unconscious? Terrible. Whipping a child? Uncomprehensible. I believe any man who hits a woman is a coward and should be locked up. A grown man and professional athlete whipping a defenseless child? Lock him up and throw away the key. Let a few "real" convicts get ahold of these two. I don't think hardened criminals will really care if they are NFL stars or not. Most prisoners are way badder than a couple of football players. They have killed people. Oh wait, I guess these football players might be closer to hardened criminals than we think.

Here's Keith Olbermann with his normal calm and hesitant view on all this.
