Adrian Peterson’s charitable organization, the All Day Foundation, announced on Tuesday that it has gone on hiatus.
“Adrian Peterson’s All Day Foundation is on a hiatus as of September 16, 2014,” the website currently reads. “The Foundation will reengage after Adrian, his family, and staff have reflected on how the current situation impacts the direction for Adrian’s philanthropy.”
The All Day Foundation is a group that contributes to several charities including the Special Olympics. The Special Olympics confirmed on Monday that they are severing ties with Peterson, and it would not be a surprise if other organizations did the same.

Just hours after the Minnesota Vikings announced that Peterson would practice this week and play on Sunday, a report surfaced indicating that AP was being investigated for allegedly injuring another one of his sons. The report stated that the 4-year-old swore at one of his brothers while visiting Peterson last June and that Peterson admitted in a text message to disciplining the boy, who was left with a scar on his forehead.
On Tuesday, Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton urged the Vikings to suspend Peterson.
“Whipping a child to the extend of visible wounds, as has been alleged, should not be tolerated in our state,” Dayton said, via The Star Tribune. “Therefore, I believe the team should suspend Mr. Peterson, until the accustaions of child abuse have been resolved by the criminal justice system.”
It seems highly unlikely that Peterson will play against the New Orleans Saints.
