It is okay for fans to not root for Adrian Peterson anymore

Midway through Thursday night’s matchup between the Minnesota Vikings and the Washington Redskins, current Redskins running back Adrian Peterson took a carry that ended up increasing his career rushing total to the be the sixth-most in NFL history.

Coincidentally, the history-making moment for Peterson came against a team in the Vikings that drafted him and gave him a home for the first 10 years of his career in the league.

A little later on in the matchup, the former Minnesota running back was shown on the big screen inside U.S. Bank Stadium with a graphic displaying his latest accomplishment and a good portion of the stadium began to cheer again for someone they watched make a number of memorable moments in a purple and gold uniform.
