Politicians are supposed to focus on helping this great country of ours run as smoothly as possible, but they too enjoy delving into the world of sports.
Following the Minnesota Governors lead, Senator Al Franken released a statement saying the Vikings should suspend Adrian Peterson as well.
“It was absolutely heartbreaking to hear about what happened to this child,” Franken said in a statement. “I’m a diehard Vikings fan, and watching the games on Sundays has been one of my favorite things to do since I was a kid. But this is just wrong, and I think the Vikings made the wrong decision here. This is in the hands of law enforcement now, and it must go through the judicial process, but I don’t believe Adrian Peterson should be allowed to play until that happens. A lot of kids look up to these players, and it’s not OK for the Vikings to send the signal that what happened is acceptable. This is bigger than a football game.”
