it is severe when you are in the category of child abuse. Maybe not so much in area of gun shot wounds.

Let's make this a little easier. What do think qualifies as a "serious injury"? If you're going to troll, go balls to the wall and throw us some real meat.

Does the person have to be in a coma or eating through a straw?

Not only are his physical injuries sufficient to be called "severe and serious" but you're neglecting to even consider the mental damage a beating like that leads to.

Good chance it makes the kid dumber too. Dumb enough to grow up and say, "My dad used to beat me with a switch and I turned out fine."

I get what you're trying to say bro but it's a different world we live in now. You're suddenly a "sick frick" because you dare not be outraged over the whipping. Two things I learned when getting a whipping as a kid...if you put your hands back there, they're gonna get hit too...and never drop to the floor so they can't hit you arse.

But the fact that you don't see a difference between an adult receiving the same physical trauma as a toddler is frightening.
Never said that at all. Your argument is one big straw-man.

It's clearly both physical and mental abuse. I never argued anything to the contrary.

This isn't an argument at all about all of the aspects of abuse including age.

This is specifically talking about the injuries from a medical stand-point. It left a bunch of red marks.

Talking heads are saying he "caused serious and severe injuries". Well, no, because the injuries themselves are not serious.

The abuse itself is absolutely disturbing, both from a physical and mental standpoint, especially to a 4 year old. So this is absolutely a big deal.

The abuse as a whole can be described as severe... the injures themselves are not.

He should be cellmates with Aaron Hernandez, who murdered 3 people.

I guess it depends on your definition of a serious injury.

There are parents out there who physically abuse their kids by punching, kicking, throwing them, pushing, etc, causing some actual severe injuries.

Peterson was whipping his son, obviously to the extreme, but the injuries themselves are not serious.

So you believe that Peterson caused modest injuries to his son? Is that how you would describe this?

Because what he did was just as bad if not worse

And you can absolutely make that argument. But the injuries themselves are not severe.

It's fine if you describe the abuse as severe. The abuse is bad enough. People shouldn't have to exaggerate the injuries and describe them as severe.

The word "injury" doesn't always mean physical.

You're in the wrong thread. This isn't the ban the Redskins name thread.

In the context the analysts were talking about it means physical.

Adrian Peterson beat his son so badly that it hurt the kid's scrotum.

You are defending him.

This is what kind of person you are.

You're ignoring the fact that I posted earlier that a medical doctor referred this case to the authorities and a prosecutor filed felony charges and AD was given an indictment for "severe injuries". Do you even doctor or lawyer bro?

I'm not defending him at all. Did you read all of my comments or did you just jump in and respond?

I was simply talking about the very specific segment of this relating to the actual physical injuries.

You can describe the abuse as severe, disturbing, or any other number of words. But the actual physical injuries itself are not severe injuries.

They hurt, they sting, it's mental and physical abuse, it's wrong, it's disturbing, etc. I agree with all of that.

But I was talking specifically about the actual injuries sustained. In essence, they are red marks.

I'm talking about the people who say Peterson caused "serious and severe injuries". Well, no.. he didn't. The abuse itself can be described as serious and severe. The injures are not.
