I hope AP gets KTFO this game...

[Zod]

Just catching up on some reading this morning. I am a bit behind on the Adrian Peterson's son and the situation.

 

Its tragic when any child dies. His mother deserves all the support in the world.

 

But as far as AP is concerned, he is a dead beat loser. I hope he gets KTFO today. When you deny the child is yours for years and then acknowledge him only when forced to after a court confirms the DNA result is a cowardly irresponsible and cruel thing to do to a kid.

 

 

"Football is something I will always fall back on," he said. ”It gets me through tough times. Just being around the guys in here, that's what I need in my life, guys supporting me and just being able to go out and play this game I love. Things that I go through, I've said a thousand times, it helps me play this game to a different level. I'm able to kind of release a lot of my stress through this sport, so that's what I plan on doing."

 

 

Stress? Stress is raising a kid on your own while the father is making millions and denying any responsibility.

 

Sorry AP, you get zero sympathy. You weren't a father to him in life, you don't deserve anything in his death.

 

 

UPDATED....

Just read the article that says he did not know the child existed and was his until 3 months ago. Apparently he was planning to see him later this month. So I recant my previous statement. Still, its strange that he finds out in early July that he has a son, while nothing NFL related is happening, and doesn't plan on seeing him for 4 months. I'd like to think if I was a multimillionaire on vacation in the same situation I would act a little quicker. But you know, we can't judge. We can never judge.

Damn shots fired. Me gusta.

You nailed it Zod...I think how hard my wife and I worked raising our son, without the millions of dollars that these pro athletes have. Makes me truly grateful to have her and my son.

Feel bad for AP and his family and it's a tragedy some sociopath beat a 2 year old to death. 

 

With that being said:

 

No sympathy points from me towards the Vikes and AP today. Knock this dude into next week, Panthers.

And all the people on here bashed ths ones that said things like "ofcourse he is going to play, he lost a,son he just met for the first time the other day" Go look at APs interview and he looks completely unphased and is even smiling in some instances. AP is just the sperm donor.

ESPN and NFL network perpetuate this myth.

Its gonna make a good story if he runs for 250 and 3 TD's.

The facts don't matter.

[Zod]

Feel bad for AP and his family

 

Feel bad for the kids mother? You bet.

 

Feel bad for AP, hell no.

 

IMHO, he shoulders some of the blame for what happened to the kid. Maybe if he manned up and took responsibility the kid would have been raised under better conditions.

 

AP = Garbage.

Yup. I called this in another thread. Regardless of how much AP was in his son's life, the sensationalist media always loves a story like this....and so does the NFL. Personal tragedy into personal triumph. Americans eat that poo up. 

 

Remember last year vs the Chiefs? There were serious conversations being made about cancelling the game after the murder/suicide committed by the LB. Instead, the worst team in the league (record wise), which has been around since the inception of the NFL, was a delay of game penalty away from having their first unpenalized game in the history of their team. 

 

I'm convinced that the refs are going to be extra lenient towards the Vikes today and will do everything in their power for the Vikes to win and for AP to have a monster game. If the Panthers so much as pass gas in the wrong direction, punt the ball too high, or look at someone wrong ...expect serious consequences. It's just the invisible hand of the NFL spreading propaganda and creating a "story".

[PantherWake]

Hell yeah! Come On Panthers, BEAT THEM VIKES!

I was under the impression that Adrian found out the existence of his son 2 or 3 months ago.  That he didn't oppose the claim but supported the mother monetarily.  Also that they were planning to set up a get together before the incident.  Where are the sources that says Adrian knew about him for two years and combatted being the father?

Thanks for having the balls to say this. AP isn't the victim that the media makes him out to be. The child is the only victim.

Yup. But the media loves a story like this and if Peterson blows up today and carries his team to a W against the 1-4 Panthers, he's going to get some man of the year nominations. fuging stupid.

Never ever have I heard of someone's kid dying on a Friday and then going back to work on a Sunday but to hear the sports channels tell it, AP is some kind of Father of the Year!
