Adrian Peterson has come under (even more) fire recently. Following his indictment for child abuse, the running back was also the center of a Star-Tribune report which found that Peterson’s charity may have been used inappropriately to fund, among other things, a night to remember:
The 38-page police report details a night of drinking, arguing and sex that involved the running back, two relatives — including Peterson’s brother, a minor — and four women, in various pairs. One of those present, Chris Brown, a Peterson relative who lives with him in Eden Prairie, told police that he paid for the room using a company credit card for Peterson’s All Day, Inc.
Peterson, who apparently has not had his Twitter handle taken away by a well-meaning confidante yet, took to Twitter to dismiss the report. Sort of.
Honestly, Peterson comes off like one of those attention-starved teens writing a purposely vague Facebook status here.
It's SAD how people these days will believe anything reported by media sources that don't take the time to be GREAT!!!

Just in-general!

It’s almost cute how Peterson tries to act as some sort of motivational speaker as he frames the media’s sources as lazy, rather than outright saying that they’re lying or mistaken.
