Was there really that much criticism?

Fox News talking heads found ONE ex-NFL player that I saw speak out.

Adrian Peterson, so-called Christian man. You, know, the kind of Christian man who pleads guilty to misdemeanour assault for beating his son, and then says “yeah, I still hit him with a belt, but at least it’s not a switch, I learned my lesson.”

The kind of Christian man who defrauds a bank and gets ordered to repay $2.4 million dollars. And then defaults on two other lawsuit settlements, of $5 million and $8 million respectively.

The kind of Christian man who gets charged with assault for slapping his wife around on a flight.

If that’s the kind of Christian man who’s being offended by Damar Hamlin’s Jesus jacket, he’s probably walking with Christ more than the ONE football player Fox News found to make a mountain out of a molehill.

Adrian Peterson was the BEST mouthpiece Fox News could find. The BEST. I mean it probably didn’t help they were dividing their Super Bowl outrage between Damar Hamlin’s Jesus threads, the black national anthem, and the pregnant black gal dancing with all of her clothes on, but they were REALLY scraping the bottom of the barrel with this phoned in meltdown.

At least Damar Hamlin has the grace to say he meant no disrespect, that’s one step more than Adrian Peterson ever made.

Euphemisms when Fox News can't say what Fox News really wants to say.

Exactly what I thought when AP of all people came at this guy. Like hey Adrian on a scale of not cleaning your room to breaking your own son's arm, how much do you think Jesus cares about this fucking jacket? What a fucking jackass

Sounds like Adrian Peterson might eventually end up being the next ex football player to run for public office as a Republican.

I laughed. And then cried. You’re not wrong

Sounds like a normal run of the mill Christian to me. Not sure why you’re surprised.
