Adrian Peterson threatens lawsuit amid auction embarrassment
Word spread quickly Wednesday about an auction involving dozens of Adrian Peterson’s belongings, but the former Vikings star running back says he’ll take legal action after some of his prized possessions were included without his permission.
“An estate sale company, without my authorization, included some of my trophies in the sale despite my clear instructions to leave personal items untouched,”Peterson said Wednesday evening.
“I did not authorize the sale of any of my trophies and I will be taking legal action. Trusting this company without supervision was my mistake.”
Peterson came forward after it was revealed that his Player of the Year trophy from the 2012 NFL Honors was listed on the online auction, which is hosted by HiBid.com.

“I want to emphasize that I am financially stable and would never sell off my hard-earned trophies,” Peterson added.
The auction mostly comprises of clothing, shoes, football cleats and other memorabilia.
