1) this editorial is about physical abuse commited by athletes and athletes driving under the influence.

2) the cartoon shows a guy talking to his friend about his fantasy football team "leading the leauge in wife beatings and drunk driving arrests". The article talks about how adrian peterson physically abused his child and how we can learn from it.

3) they are alike because they are both talking about athletes in the nfl. They are different because of their format.

4) i think the article is more effective because it brings a more serious demeanor to the topic instead of the cartoon bc the cartoon is kind of funny.

5) the cartoons catch more people attentions but the written version of an editorial is more serious and give you better perspective because you are able to elaborate on your opinion

Feature writing -

      Adrian Peterson; star running-back for the Minnesota Vikings can add child abuser to his long resumé. Peterson was accused of abusing his four year old son week two of the 2014 NFL season. Adrian Peterson was later removed from the NFL until the investigation on te child abuse allegations is complete. Peterson later stated the way he raises his son is how he was raised so its "in his nature" to discipline his son the way he did. 

      There is alot of controversy surrounding this event with people telling Peterson esentially how to raise and disipline his child the way he does. Mike Ditka who is a former NFL player/coach who stars on the hit pre/post game tv show "Sunday NFL Countdown" stated that "Its his choice how he wants to raise his child.". Rose Covington was asked for her opinion on the Adrian Peterson child abuse case. Covington said "He has the right to discipline his kid but he took it way to far.". Covington was also asked how she thinks the child abuse case has effected Peterson's image as a football player. She stated "He isnt really a fan favorite anymore.". Covington also stated that "this event shouldnt be used to publicize Adrian in a negative way, but it should be used to raise awareness for physical and child abuse.". One out of every fice children in the USA have experianced some type of physical abuse from their parent(s). More then half of the children population in the USA have experianced neglect from their parents as well. Those are astonishing numbers. Please; for our future; raise awareness by donating to child abuse charities across the world. Sources: Sunday NFL countdown (espn), http://pediatrics.about.com/od/childabuse/a/05_abuse_stats.htm
