The new arbitrator agreed with the NFL on this one. He ruled that Peterson still doesn't understand the seriousness of his crime. He ruled that Peterson is mistaken in his belief that the NFL is the bad guy in all of this. And he ruled that Peterson has to complete his planned counseling so that he can at least attempt to secure a better grip on reality.
He made it clear that Peterson has the wrong priorities, and that the Players Association isn't helping anyone by arguing players' rights on this one. He ruled Peterson is a deeply disturbed individual that can't distinguish right from wrong, and that primarily is the reason that he will have to serve the punishment he was given.
He ruled that this particular case is far more important than the precedent it may set. He ruled that Peterson needs help desperately.
At least that's MY interpretation by reading between the lines.
Good for the arbitrator. He got everything right. He wasn't there to compromise and smooth everything over. He was there to help Peterson. The problem is Adrian Peterson is still too dumb to realize it. He'll be taking the issue to court next.
Adrian sees himself as some bright knight in shining armor protecting player's rights, never realizing that, in reality, he is a pathetic thug and punk who beats up defenseless children.
Yes, Adrian needs help.
It's too bad the NFL Player's Association only worries about how much money this is costing him. They could do some real good by doing the right thing themselves.
