Vikings running back Adrian Peterson’s indictment on reckless or negligent injury to a child stems from a case of old-school corporal punishment.
According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, the incident in question stems from “disciplining of a son with a switch.”
For those of you unfamiliar with the Southern vernacular, a switch is a flexible tree branch used to swat a child across the backsides.
How you view that — as an act of parental discipline or as child abuse — depends largely on your age and geographic location.
We can already tell the comments on this one are going to be special.
