Late last night Adrian Peterson was advised to clean out his locker and ordered not to attend any Vikings events or to come near the practice field, Winter Park. The Vikings lost one of their biggest corporate sponsors the Raddison Hotels yesterday and AP has lost two of his biggest endorsers, Nike and Special Olympics although he won't be hurt too badly as the Grand Jury met after the season started so he'll still get his 15 million dollar salary for this year. This is good because in addition to losing the endorsements retailers can't sell a Peterson jersey to anyone here in the Twin Cites. Nobody want to be seen in one, much less have one secretly. It is the same issue as the Ray Rice jersey "purge" in Baltimore with the exception of retailers haven't pulled the jerseys off the shelves just yet. Call it Midwest optimism or Minnesota nice.
There is now scuttlebutt that he may be released from the Vikings because of this. Maybe AP should remember what happened to his 2 year old son last year but the hands of another man.
