Also in my opinion if someone is willing to stop rooting for a team b/c of one individual player on that team then their allegiance to said team has to be questioned and rightfully so.

Killing animals to provide us with food or warmth is fine. Is it cruel when a lioness kills and eats an antelope? Intentionally torturing, maiming,and killing dogs or any animal for entertainment or street cred is not the same. You know it, I know it, we all know it. Please save these juvenile arguments for the school yard. So no, I am not an animal rights activist. I just know cruelty when I see it. Having Vick as the QB of the Jets would put me in a position to root for someone whose actions I despise. Just say no to Vick. |

If you eat store-bought eggs or meat you really have no place to complain about dog fighting. I'm not defending dog fighting or those who do it at all - I was deeply upset about it. But I recognize the hypocrisy in myself when I pick up a dozen eggs at the store considering the reprehensible conditions to which those animals are subjected.
Vick served his time and he seemed contrite. I believe in rehabilitation and second chances. But dogs have a special place in the hierarchy of animals in human society. They are seen as family members, beloved companions, etc. Some of them work leading the blind, corralling animals, smelling cancer or bombs. So it's just one of those things that you have to accept, I think. Vick will be forever marked the way he is because, for a number of people, what he did was only slightly less abhorrent than had he done it to babies. |

LOL....I last posted in this thread a few hours ago about the cap implications of trading Sanchez and now see it has evolved into a thread about cannibalism and bestiality.

One is an efficient supply chain for the food supply, the other is an intentionally cruel sport. Humans are carnivores. We get the bulk of our protein through meat from animals that we kill FOR FOOD. This is no more cruel than a lioness killing an antelope to feed her pride. Dog fighting involves abusing, torturing, and killing animals for sport, entertainment, or street cred. They are nothing alike and a moral equivalence cannot be drawn. |

While I agree with Parcells that we all root for the helmets, I just dont think its worthy to give all the energy and attention to a guy that is a failure as a person and a player. |
