Even before Nike took over as the official supplier of NFL jerseys, one of the company’s highest-profile NFL endorsement deals was with Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson. But now that the Pro Bowl back faces allegations of child abuse, Nike has decided it’s probably a good time for the two to take a break from each other. “Nike in no way condones child abuse or domestic violence of any kind and we have shared our concerns with the NFL,” the company told Reuters earlier today, explaining why it suspended its contract with Peterson. Peterson did not play with the team last weekend, following the revelation of a child endangerment indictment in Texas.
