Yeah, when they cut out the whole dog killing thing, I turned my back on the League.
Here's my issue with the whole Vick/Doggie thing.
He did his time. He served more time than most people serve for killing someone drunk driving. He served more time than a lot of child predators serve in Vermont and Oregon. And in the end, its a fucking dog - not a human. When we've gotten to the point where you serve for time for supervising and organizing pit bulls fighting than you do for molesting a child in certain states, we're fucked. Disclaimer: I dont condone dog fighting. I just dont elevate a dog to human status on the pecking order. I have 2 dogs. In fact I hate cats.
There is also the issue of people publicly saying that Vick didnt deserve to hold a job ever again anywhere - much less the NFL. What horseshit. You serve your time and pay your debt to society - you should be able to be productive again. Granted your not a hardcore lifer like Dahmer or Manson. But you get the drift. He fought dogs, he paid the price and served the time. I usually dont side with the thuggie types like Vick, but some people's ignorance on the PETA fringe just boils my blood. ~End Rant~
