Yeah, ultimately it's whatever the NFL wants to do. But, the reason it's worth arguing about is the NFL is gonna make the decision based on public perception. It's just talking about what the status quo should be.

The Vick issue comes down to what's most important, that he used to practise cruelty to animals vs. that he's served his punishment, is making amends, and now fighting to save animals, surely saving more animals than he ever harmed. I come down squarely on 2nd chances there. And, I'm glad that even though there are a lot of whacko animal right activists who made a lot of noise, I'm glad that most people wanted to see Vick overcome his past.

The Rush issue comes down to having a fat mouth radio host who loves offending half the country vs. the fact that, well versus no fact. He makes no effort to be more acceptable in the public eye. He just runs around offending half the people and then takes offense himself when he can't take a high profile position trying to sell goods to people he offends.

His defense is based on all this nonsense the vitriolic people have made up that he's said. But, I bet that nonsense could be overcome. There's plenty out there Rush has said that irritates the fuck out of people.



You are making it sound like Vick "wants" to fight to save animals now . Please . He is only doing it because he has to . Trying to make himself look better in the public eye .

He is an asshole for putting dogs in the worst enviroment . Not only did he fight dogs , it was said that he electrocuted them , drowned them , beat them , shot them . Thats pretty much torture .

I like football , but it's the players and the people who recruit these losers who ruin a game that is supposed to be an all american past time . When you start letting criminals and felons into the game , it's no longer a sport that you can find a good role model or a player you can look up to . And i'm saying that for the young kids that look up to these players .
