Many fans in Baltimore would forgive Ray Rice for beating the crap out of his wife (and did) so I don't think it's a stretch that many would forgive Adrian for switching his son.

I think a lot of people had less a problem with Peterson beating his little boy than they did with Rice knocking out and dragging his fiancee. So, I could see him being generally accepted by fans who are more concerned about victories than players' personal lives/conduct too.
Do you sense that Peterson is really considering leaving pro football or more likely just marketing himself or venting, Duchess? I haven't followed pro football and its players much.
