A man who fell around 15 feet at AT&T Stadium in North Texas is still in critical condition. The unidentified man plunged from the 100 section to the floor level during halftime of Saturday’s UCLA-Texas Longhorns game. He was spotted talking to medics who responded to the scene. AT&T Stadium is investigating.
In a response to its growing image problem regarding domestic violence issues, the NFL announced Monday it has hired three experts in the field to serve as senior advisors to the league. In a memo to owners and team presidents, Commissioner Roger Goodell named Lisa Friel, Jane Randel and Rita Smith as consultants “to provide specialized advice and guidance in ensuring that the NFL’s programs reflect the most current and effective approaches” towards domestic violence and sexual assault cases. The move comes in the wake of a firestorm of criticism directed at Goodell and the NFL for its handling of four high-profile domestic violence instances, most notably the situations involving former Baltimore Raven Ray Rice and Minnesota Vikings star running back Adrian Peterson.
Speaking of Adrian Peterson, there may be another case of alleged child abuse involving Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson. KHOU-TV in Houston reports the former NFL MVP is being investigated for a separate incident with another son. The television station posted a Twitter picture of a young boy with his face blotted out but showing a large Mickey Mouse bandage over his right eye. Peterson was reinstated by the Vikings on Monday and is expected to practice this week and play Sunday against New Orleans. He was indicted last week on charges of reckless or negligent injury to a child for allegedly “spanking” his four-year-old son with a switch. He issued a statement Monday saying he never meant to cause his son harm and is, without a doubt, not a child abuser.
