Crime & Punishment in the NFL

Today, we'll moderate a discussion about some of the current events happening within the National Football League. Specifically, we'll have talking points about Ray Rice (Baltimore Ravens running back indicted for third-degree aggravated assault) and Adrian Peterson (Minnesota Vikings running back indicted for reckless injury to a child).

We'll also seek thoughts about how the NFL reflects our culture as Americans, for better or worse.

You're encouraged to read up about these cases as well as any printed debates or interviews to prepare for a meaningful and productive discussion.
