Vikings Celebrate Family Day By Promoting Photo of Child Abuser Adrian Peterson

This is probably the worst way to try to rehab the image of your disgraced star.

Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson was forced to sit out all of last year’s NFL season after he assaulted his 4-year-old son, beating him severely with a switch.

But now it’s training camp, and Adrian Peterson is back in uniform for the Vikings, a team that’s eager to promote Peterson as a reformed family man. So eager in fact, that they’re celebrating Family Dday with a photo of him and an unidentified son of his, but one that is roughly the same age (4) of the child he beat.
