Athletes getting too many breaks
On Thursday U.S. District Judge David Doty ruled in favor of Adrian Peterson's suspension. Judge Doty overturned NFL arbitrator Harold Henderson. Peterson's suspension for beating his son with a switch will soon slowly go down the drain. What does the Peterson case show you? It shows that professional athletes could do something terribly wrong and within a small window can be reinstated and be in the lineup on Sunday's. Something is very wrong in today's society. If an average male did the same exact thing that Adrian Peterson did and beat your son with a switch, then that person would be in jail for a very long time. Sometime in the very near future free-agent and former Carolina Panther Greg Hardy will be appealing the NFL's decision on his suspension. I am going to guess and say that Hardy will be reinstated to league in the very near future. I hope that someone out there will stand up and say no to these players getting breaks and being able to play in the league again. You can make your own opinion on this subject.

I agree that the players in the NFL get away with punishments easier because of who they are. Adrian Peterson and Ray Rice neither of them went to jail and they also are allowed back to play in the NFL. I do not understand how NFL cam permit this. The NFL should be more strict on these situations because more players will get into more trouble if nobody does anything about this. If there are no punishments for players who abuse people, they will continue to act in this manner. I do believe athletes get special treatment.
