My curiosity drew me to tonight's Falcons-Bengals preseason game, wondering what would be said about Vick and the dogfighting. As I expected, I was mostly disappointed. Looking at this, I hoped for some strong and unequivocal condemnation for the horrors this bastard inflicted on innocent dogs. Remember folks, these dogs live a life of constant terror and abuse from puppyhood. Just to make them into vicious fighting machines for the enjoyment of Vick and his ilk. Sorry, that's not a "mistake" one learns from. And an apology after entering a plea agreement does not erase the horror of what he did. If he's abused, tortured and killed these dogs all these years, suddenly getting caught is not going to be the epiphany it will be played out to be. And characterizing it as "immature" is a pathetic dodge. It was evil, pure and simple. We all make mistakes? Look asshole, nobody mistakenly enters dogfighting as a "sport" and personally participates in the torture and killing of dogs for fun and profit. What, you meant to raise a loving, happy, well-adjusted puppy, but instead you "mistakenly" abused it from the moment of its birth? Bummer, dude.
Of course, at some point, he apparently found Jesus. Naturally.
And they praise him for standing up and making his statement today. Screw you.
I'm sorry, hearing former coaches Reeves and Mora say they stand behind Vick and support his was, to me, repulsive. If you're a friend of mine, and I find out you are involved in this kind of treatment of animals, F**k You. You're done.
Assholes
Well said!
