And...I never said to "lessen the offense" but that's not an argument for viewing dog fighting in the context of "no big deal cause there are worse crimes". Using that logic, we'd only punish murderers.

Actually, a lot of folks who get DUI's lose their jobs and I doubt we'll see Vick on welfare but again, this is all a smokescreen. It's a rather obvious attempt to divert attention away from the issue here by arguing points that have nothing to do with the issue...here is my position: Dog fighting is morally wrong Dog fighting is illegal in all 50 states, a felony in 48 Vick has been accused of involvement He is innocent until proven guilty so I'm not saying take action now If he is convicted he should be sentenced according to the law In Va that means 5 years I believe It is my personal belief that the NFL should ban for life anyone convicted of this crime Portis voiced an opinion He also implied other may be involved including himself This should be investigated In any event, I disagree with Portis' pov and have said so As a Skins fan, I'd rather he not be on the team...that however is not up to me.

He's the star athlete in any high school USA except he made it. The majority of the rest are either in jail or on parole. Dog fighting is rampant in the south. Local law enforcement simply does not have the time, money, or manpower to crack down on it. Proving Michael Vick had anything to do with dog fighting is going to be a waste of time. The evidence will be circumstantial at best and he has the money to fight it. This is just another story ESPN will ride until another star athlete gets caught doing something stupid. If the new commissioner keeps this up the NFL will look like MLB when it was on strike. |

Holy Mother of God.
A guy makes a simple comment about shameful dog fighting and now others essentially are accusing him of being Satan himself. I think we all here know that would be Dimmy. |

i'm amazed (but not terribly) at what people say when a microphone is put in front of them. it's like their iq level drops, and the blather begins. no telling if vick was involved, if he was he should be punished appropriately by the powers that be. and if the nfl has rules regarding felony convictions, then he should face punishment by them as well. as for portis, i know he has already apologized for his statements...for what that's worth.

Exactly, if you aren't sure, keep your mouth shut. By the way 66 dogs were taken from the house owned by Vick, 55 are pits...all will be destroyed if determined to be fighters. For now, I'll say nothing more...

Where the hell are the agents for these guys? These players earn, what, $3-5 Million a year and their agents probably get 5% of that. For that amount of money, they should know their clients better and tell them not to say stupid sht. Whoever is Portis' agent certainly hasn't earned his keep, that's for sure.

well but the agents can't be there all the time...this looked like just an impromptu interview in which Portis made an ass out of himself and the Redskins....

Peta and horseracing never heard of that
Quote:
Albeit the article/interview is ridiculous, dog fighting is a felony period, even in our heathen state of Louisiana. It is also serious stuff that animal rights groups want to take away many of our rights around the world. I just don't get PETA and enjoying horseracing, best be careful they may take your card away. OH yeah, they just want your money. And isn't PETA that just went to court for killing strays...hmmmmm |
