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.

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

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

Build 'em up, just to tear 'em down. Such is our society in 2023. Remember the days of just ignoring something that you don't like?

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

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."

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”.

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.

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

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.

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.

“Why doesn’t the man who was tortured and nailed to a plank look as immaculate and beautiful as I think he should?” Is kind of an unhinged take.

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.

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.
