Vikings reverse course again, suspend Adrian Peterson indefinitely
theGRIO REPORT - The Adrian Peterson situation is now entering 'saga' territory. The Vikings changed their tune - again - and announced late Tuesday the former NFL MVP has been suspended indefinitely...
“Saga” just doesn’t do the Adrian Peterson situation justice.
In the umpteenth reversal of fortune this week, the Vikings announced late Tuesday their star running back won’t be playing football for the foreseeable future.
Team owners Mark and Zygi Wilf announced Peterson would be placed on the Exempt/Commissioner’s List — which is a fancy way of saying he’s pretty much not on the Vikings until his “legal proceedings are resolved.”
Part of the statement from the Wilf’s is excerpted below:
While we were trying to make a balanced decision yesterday, after further reflection we have concluded that this resolution is best for the Vikings and for Adrian. We want to be clear: we have a strong stance regarding the protection and welfare of children, and we want to be sure we get this right. At the same time we want to express our support for Adrian and acknowledge his seven-plus years of outstanding commitment to this organization and this community. Adrian emphasized his desire to avoid further distraction to his teammates and coaches while focusing on his current situation; this resolution accomplishes these objectives as well.
Following the news of his suspension, Peterson posted another spiritually-themed quote on Twitter:
