The writers name is Phil Mushnick and his article asks a central question. Could Adrian Peterson "have provided his son a better life, a longer life?"
Mushnick wrote an article called Being a great player doesn't make Peterson a great guy and in it he calls Peterson's character into question.
Peterson’s two year old son died last Friday from injuries said to have been inflicted when he was beaten by the man his mother was living with.
While Peterson acknowledged the child was his, he had never lived with the boy or had extended contact.
The former Oklahoma Sooner and current Minnesota Viking did take a day away from practice last week to visit the toddler after the attack he returned to Minnesota on Friday and played in the Vikings 35-10 loss to the Carolina Panthers.
Mushnick ripped Peterson for allowing his son to remain in what he called a “dangerous situation” and questioned why Peterson didn’t use any of his $96 million contract to provide the child a better home.
Mushnick also rekindles Peterson’s past trouble with the law including a ticket for driving 109MPH in 55 MPH zone and his arrest for resisting arrest at a nightclub.
