NFL announced this morning that he's suspended for the rest of the season (until April) based on the conduct code and extenuating circumstances, but that's just the conduct ruling. And Peterson has already filed an appeal of it. There's also the grievance ruling from the arbitrator, expected...
There's more of this article on ESPN.com and although it initially sounds like Peterson skipped the meeting, as you read on it was a planned, announced decision. And the NFLP Union also announced the same to the NFL. Bottom line is the NFL is playing games, not Peterson and the NFLPA. The NFL is...
