The hammer has come down on Adrian Peterson. The Minnesota Vikings running back has been suspended for the rest of the NFL season, without pay, for violating the league’s personal conduct policy. 

Reports NBC Sports:

In the league’s letter to Peterson, commissioner Roger Goodell said: “The timing of your potential reinstatement will be based on the results of the counseling and treatment program set forth in this decision. Under this two-step approach, the precise length of the suspension will depend on your actions. We are prepared to put in place a program that can help you to succeed, but no program can succeed without your genuine and continuing engagement.  You must commit yourself to your counseling and rehabilitative effort, properly care for your children, and have no further violations of law or league policy.”

Peterson has to give written notice within three days to appeal this decision. He was suspended indefinitely in September after child abuse charges were bought against him, to which he eventually pled no contest in plea deal.

Was the NFL’s decision just? Would this have happened if not for Ray Rice? Let us know what you think in the comments.
