as much as I enjoyed watching him play, I hope he stays away from our young guys. he is in no way a role model, rather a poster child for about everything wrong with being a 20 something millionaire, or being an entitled star athlete. its very apparent listening to him, and seeing how he handled his life, that he likely hasnt passed a school grade on merit since grade school.

I wish him the best, but I dont see the value of keeping him around up and coming young athletes that viewed him as a model of what they wanted to become.

I’m not seeing a redemption arc for a child abuser. As far as him hanging around the organization, I can’t think of too many worse former players to have in their building. Favre. Sharper. Scum of the earth.

It really shouldn't, but it surprises me how many fans make excuses for shitty behavior from shitty people who habitually display shitty behavior. You know if it was a neighbor of the people defending the player they'd be mad shit talking that neighbor for being garbage.

If it's not child abuse that turns some of these people I'm not sure what will do it. Lol some fans get more upset when a player leaves for rival than shit Peterson has done. It's wild!
