I think the Adrian Peterson punishment is grossly disproportionate, but what I think doesn't matter either.

I know, just tired of it.
I mean, Dez can only blame Dez but I'm tired of this billionaire NFL notion that these poverty risen kids should know any better ... because how could they?
They're just scapegoats. And now, when Dez is the new face of MONSTER, we get a whole new media circus of hate for a kid who never had a chance in the world.
Here's an idea, stop letting these kids go to college if they can't qualify academically like everyone else. Make them work to get their shot at the pros rather than enrolling kids who read like fifth graders so you can line your school's pockets by allowing these shenanigans to continue.
Make them go to community college and prove they will work to get into those big time schools so they can get those big time pay days. You take these poor, uneducated kids, help them cheat through fake classes, put them on a pedestal...they graduate to the pros and suddenly we expect them to be wise, educated professionals?
Give me a break.
