Peterson suspension dispute aired in court

NFL: The latest dispute between the NFL Players Association and the NFL over the league’s personal conduct policy was aired in federal court in Minneapolis.

It was more criticism of the disciplinary process that Adrian Peterson and the union have derided as arbitrary and unfair since punishment was levied by the NFL after the running back was charged in a child abuse case involving his son. He resolved the case with a plea bargain last year.

The basis of the NFLPA’s argument is that the enhanced six-game punishment for players involved with domestic violence was unfairly and retroactively applied to Peterson.
