NFLPA statement on ruling in Adrian Peterson appeal

Adrian Peterson's appeal was denied by the NFL on Friday. Below is the NFLPA's response.

"The NFLPA expected this outcome, given the hearing officer's relationship and financial ties to the NFL. The decision itself ignores the facts, the evidence and the collective bargaining agreement. This decision also represents the NFL's repeated failure to adhere to due process and confirms its inconsistent treatment of players. Our union is considering immediate legal remedies."
