Was there really that much criticism?

Fox News talking heads found ONE ex-NFL player that I saw speak out.

Adrian Peterson, so-called Christian man. You, know, the kind of Christian man who pleads guilty to misdemeanour assault for beating his son, and then says “yeah, I still hit him with a belt, but at least it’s not a switch, I learned my lesson.”

The kind of Christian man who defrauds a bank and gets ordered to repay $2.4 million dollars. And then defaults on two other lawsuit settlements, of $5 million and $8 million respectively.

The kind of Christian man who gets charged with assault for slapping his wife around on a flight.

If that’s the kind of Christian man who’s being offended by Damar Hamlin’s Jesus jacket, he’s probably walking with Christ more than the ONE football player Fox News found to make a mountain out of a molehill.

Adrian Peterson was the BEST mouthpiece Fox News could find. The BEST. I mean it probably didn’t help they were dividing their Super Bowl outrage between Damar Hamlin’s Jesus threads, the black national anthem, and the pregnant black gal dancing with all of her clothes on, but they were REALLY scraping the bottom of the barrel with this phoned in meltdown.

At least Damar Hamlin has the grace to say he meant no disrespect, that’s one step more than Adrian Peterson ever made.

Euphemisms when Fox News can't say what Fox News really wants to say.

Exactly what I thought when AP of all people came at this guy. Like hey Adrian on a scale of not cleaning your room to breaking your own son's arm, how much do you think Jesus cares about this fucking jacket? What a fucking jackass

Sounds like Adrian Peterson might eventually end up being the next ex football player to run for public office as a Republican.

Sounds like a normal run of the mill Christian to me. Not sure why you’re surprised.

Wow, for once it actually is mocking Jesus. I mean IDGAF but I’m impressed Christian outrage is accurately describing something for a change.

You would think Christians would have some deference to someone who came back from the dead.

Adrian Peterson’s had his feelings hurt. I’m surprised he didn’t beat Hamlin with a switch!!

As an agnostic, I’m so fuckin tired of religions (usually Christianity) getting some pedestal where if it isn’t just the most glorifying depiction, it’s worthy of ire. Not everyone believes in your dumbass fairy tale. You get to wear and say shit about how I’m going to hell for not believing but others can’t wear THIS of all things? What gives them the right?

He doesn’t owe anyone an apology. The jacket didn’t say like “fuck Christians”.

I’m totally with you. But Islam is waaaaay worse about depictions of Muhammad lol.

mtheperry t1_j91bhr2 wrote

Christians will talk about how silly it is for Muslims to make a big deal about those depictions and then act like this.

Sounds kind of like the scary ones who attack people for drawing cartoons of Mohamed. I can't tell the difference.

Let me save you a click.

The 24-year-old was seen wearing a jacket depicting Jesus on the back with the word "Eternal" emblazoned above it. On the front, it bore another image of Jesus and the phrase: "Without end and without beginning, there is no day and there is no night."

You decided the Bible is false, but you’re a human so by definition you’re full of 💩. so I guess that means the Bible is true

Further, thousands of men have rewrote this “Infallible” historic story. If Jesus was perfect he would’ve written it perfect the first time, not have randos editing the Bible thousands of times.

This the opinion of someone who gets their info from r/atheism. The texts we have now are almost identical to the earliest manuscripts, with some of the only differences being the past/present tenses of certain words and things of that nature.

Dude went to a Catholic high school I think he can say whatever he wants about Christianity

Beffanator t1_j8x1rd7 wrote

To be fair he was a top 24 DB in the NFL, he built himself up and the injury tore him down. However, for the general public who supported Hamlin, a player they’ve never heard of, I got you, dude.

They don’t seem too sensitive when they are stripping lgbtq rights, attacking folks of color and erasing history from school textbooks.

Doesn’t Adrian Peterson have a kid he can take his anger out on?

/s obviously, but Damar should have told him to kick rocks.

Fucking loser.

Cool. Very nice.

Now do a Mohamed jacket.

bossmt_2 t1_j8yceo2 wrote

Poor Peterson, how could Damar hurt his sensibilities by wearing a coat.

​

I mean he should have done something more sensible like beat his son with a switch, defaulted on multiple loans and settlements for said loans, or delayed a flight to get arrested for Domestic VIolence.

Why is damar Hamlin still in the spotlight?

Beffanator t1_j8x19wv wrote

Because he was performing as a top 24 DB, prior to his injury that almost killed him.
