Why is it that just athletes have to be above reproach. None of this stuff is right, but let's not act like only athletes are assholes and need to pay for their transgressions. There are elected officials, law enforcement, working stiffs that do these same things. Some pay the piper, others get a slap on the wrist.

Now AP shouldn't be punished for being famous but at the same time a proper standard should have been set

I got lots of really red fannies growing up, and sometimes mom had to come out and tell dad that that was enough. But he never drew blood.
I just do not approve of beating kids past the point of drawing blood. I consider that brutality.
This is the sort of thing that could motivate a kid to grow up to become a cop, so they could beat people as part of their living.

Hoping that's not directed at me because I repeatedly said he went overboard. I don't condone what he did in the least.
My only point is that a) you likely grew up entirely different than him, and b) punishment like that in the south is not uncommon. A lot of loving parents do that. Doesn't make it right; but at least it offers a different perspective.
