He should never play a down of football in the NFL again. Zero tolerance when it comes to kids. Spanking your children is one thing, still a dumb thing to do, but it sounds like AP was getting off on beating his kid, from the text messages to the damage done to the private area. Honestly, who does that to their kids? What the hell is wrong with people? He supposedly has a "Whooping" room with belts and paddles and shit, and the kid said he had been punched in the face before.. It's despicable.
The sad thing is, the NFL doesn't really have a commissioner right now, so what is his punishment going to be?
