Adrian Peterson has seven kids by several baby mamas and has been arrested for child abuse dares to tell someone they aren’t Christian enough for his liking.
This is all over a jacket, I might add.
Who is Peterson to judge anyone, especially Damar Hamlin, but this is how many Christians are?
Bills safety Damar Hamlin drew the ire of Adrian Peterson on Monday following his decision to wear a controversial jacket during Super Bowl LVII.
Hamlin was honored on the field during Sunday’s event as the NFL and the rest of the sports world continues to celebrate his inspiring recovery from suffering cardiac arrest against the Bengals on Jan. 2. Throughout the festivities, Hamlin was seen sporting a jacket that featured an abstract depiction of Jesus’s face, with the word “Eternal” and a similarly-designed image of a crucifix emblazoned on the back.
Peterson, who is a devout Christian, took umbrage with Hamlin’s jacket, and the legendary running back made his thoughts known in a scathing Instagram post blasting the 24-year-old for his attire.
“You should be thanking God son!” wrote Peterson in a since-altered caption. “This is Blasphemy!! We all fall short but c’mon man! I find this disrespectful. #grateful #goddid.”
A viral image of Hamlin wearing the jacket—made by artist Takashi Murakami with a reported $3,150 price tag—in a picture with LeBron James was one of several to generate discourse across social media. In the weeks since his medical emergency, Hamlin has expressed his faith on various occasions throughout his recovery, including during an emotional speech at the NFL honors on Feb. 9.
AD should sit this one out and focus on paying off all his creditors since he is claiming he is broke now and had to resort to celebrity boxing (where he got knocked out) to make money.
