September 17, 201411 yr QUOTE (Jake @ Sep 16, 2014 -> 11:43 PM) Over-vaccinating...sheesh, that doesn't even make sense. Over-medicating? Sure. Vaccinations...nope, I can't even fathom the logic You can come up with a few testable ideas for how this could work if somehow the body's immune system actually got tired or the body got overwhelmed by having multiple things to adapt to, but these things continue to be checked. The autism hoax study, although it has killed a lot of kids already, did provoke a whole lot of double checking to see if there's any other health problems that can be correlated with vaccination rates and as of now there's literally nothing.

September 17, 201411 yr QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 17, 2014 -> 07:52 AM) I guess money trumps winning. Once Bud & Nike opened their mouths, it was over. Why do you say this as if it is somewhat surprising? Money always talks the loudest, and usually a lot louder when it runs parallel with morality(or perceived morality)

Money always talks the loudest, and usually a lot louder when it runs parallel with morality(or perceived morality) I didn't mean to sound surprised, just amused with how quickly everything can change. On Monday, there was no way the morality police would get in the way of "due process" (and the Vikings' most important player). A few corporations speak up in the next 36 hours and it's suddenly all over, so much for "due process".
September 17, 201411 yr Even bigger lol at that press conference now. Just shows how out of touch with reality the nfl can be.

September 17, 201411 yr I didn't mean to sound surprised, just amused with how quickly everything can change.

A few corporations speak up in the next 36 hours and it's suddenly all over, so much for "due process". I heard a good point mentioned this morning. Adrian Peterson and Ray McDonald cases are different in how they relate to "due process". Adrian Peterson admitted to what he did. He is just denying that what he did was criminal. The NFL doesn't really need to wait for due process. Based on his admissions, they can judge that his actions warrant disciplinary action regardless of whether or not they are determined to be criminal. Ray McDonald is denying what he is accused of. His case really does need to have due process play out, unless some kind of video evidence surfaces beforehand.

There's more ... when asked about his own domestic abuse case -- Mayweather used the O.J. Simpson defense to try to explain why he was wrongly convicted a few years ago. "I'm pretty sure that with my situation, no bumps, no bruises, no nothing ... with OJ and Nicole, you seen pictures. With Chris Brown and Rihanna, you seen pictures. With Ochocinco and Evelyn, you seen pictures." If you didnt get caught on tape, it probably didnt happen
September 17, 201411 yr Don't think Mayweather is a good comparison. He was convicted. McDonald was not even charged with anything. No problem whatsoever with him playing. Then again the nfl probably posseses video of him clubbing puppies.

Here's the big problem with that statement...in probably a majority of domestic violence cases, something bad happened but for various reasons no charges were filed. The NFL still will have to come to a conclusion regarding a suspension in many cases where no charges were filed. For a specific example, look at the Rapelisberger case. He got suspended after a report was issued by the DA saying basically "Something bad happened or nearly happened here but I don't have enough to bring charges".

I'm saying that in addition to having no evidence of him having done anything, at least that we know off. Yeah if the cops turn up something, or the nfl does, then suspend him. He doesn't need to be charged for that, just hope there would be any damning evidence before he does go away. Edited September 17, 201411 yr by Buehrle>Wood
September 17, 201411 yr kudos to the Minnesota media, they are attacking the Wilf's with some extremely pointed questions, and they have had some TERRIBLE responses.
September 17, 201411 yr And Reggie Bush has joined the "It's OK to beat your kid, just don't leave bruises" crowd.

September 17, 201411 yr Did anyone see their statement? It sure is good to know Nike cares so much about the well-being of children... Nike can't allow 4 year olds to get treated like that, or else they won't be fit enough to work in their factories when they're 8.

When I posted this, i heard on the Score that the contract was terminated, but on twitter i am reading "suspended". So, when all blows over and suspensions are served and fines levied, the contract will go back to normal i am thinking

Kind of like how Barry Bonds is not promoting Under Armour. The guy was the poster child for that brand and made it into what it is today.

Kind of like how Barry Bonds is not promoting Under Armour. The guy was the poster child for that brand and made it into what it is today. Tiger Woods promotes Nike/Gatorade/etc to this day. He is absolutely a poster child for the Golf branch of Nike, and when all the drugs and affairs and everything hit, they removed a lot of his advertising and distanced themselves from him. the story faded, and he came right back to BAU. AP is a superstar in the NFL, I dont think Nike lets that go
