Jonathan Dwyer Arrested on Domestic Abuse Charges

[Judge Jude]

A sports law attorney noted that if a mere accusation is enough to sideline a star player (even with pay), then eventually you run the risk of someone - whether paid by a rival or just a lunatic 'superfan' who spots a star in a bar - seizing an advantage.

Peterson's admissions alone are enough to suspend him, as was Rice dragging his gal out of an elevator and Hardy being partly convicted (NC is weird).

But what if a player is arrested for something that supposedly happened a week earlier, but he claims he wasn't in the state? or if a divorce/custody battle looms - would a spouse make a threat that a player has to fear?

this ain't gonna be easy.

Yeah and with AP he has admitted fault so tee him up as far as I'm concerned. Aside from that, the vikes might have cut him even without the controversy. That contract was never going to return positive value.

Yup, this just makes it easier for the Vikings to look like they took the moral high ground in this situation. Although anyone with half a brain knows differently, fortunately for Minnesota, most fans don't think, they just cheer...
