HBO Real Sports on dog fighting is on right now

These bastards kidnap other peoples dogs as sparring partners for these dogs, just so they can get their dog used to killing.

Normally, I'm not to worried about what happens to pro sports people that broke the law. I want this guy to fry. He's the bottom end of society. It's fantastic to see him completely destroy his career and fan base due to his pathetic decision making.

That was a pretty powerful segment on Real Sports. The son of a bitch should get thrown into a ring with some of the very dogs he trained.

Hypocrites.

How do you feel about people who wear fur coats? People who eat veal? Cock fighting? Horse-racing? Zoos? I don't condone dogfighting, but it seems to me that there's a whole lot of self-righteous, selective anger towards this whole episode. 3 college-bound kids just got shot execution style in NJ last week. That incident doesn't seem to have angered people nearly as much as dogfighting does, and half the people who are talking about it seem interested mainly so they can call for changes in the immigration laws.

Dogfighting is wrong, but it's pretty disturbing that so many people seem intent on making this one individual out to be the epitome of evil. He's far from representing the worst of humanity in this country.

F*** you.

The thread wasn't about the kids in NJ, veal or anything else. The thread was started to talk about the HBO segment on dogfighting. If you want to discuss other subjects start another thread.

This vile sport reminds me of something the Romans would have done in the rhine of Caligula.

Horse-racing, fur coats, veal? are you joking? You really think these are as bad as watching two animals kill each other for enjoyment. Fur gathering is much more humane, I have nothing wrong with eating meat regardless of the age of the animal. At least the animals you mention are dying for something productive. And the latest I heard no celebrity has been caught cock fighting recently. Im sorry three kids got shot, I didnt know about it. Just start another thread. Dont rip people for being upset about dogfighting, idiot. People are allowed to be mad about multiple things at once. Dogfighters are more than worthy of this hate.

That's my point, not that dogfighting is right, but how come you know nothing about the 3 kids who got shot with their backs turned but you know more than you ever wanted to about dogfighting. Yeah, I understand Mike Vick is a megastar and all, but whose kids have to get shot in the back of the heads in order for people to rally against gun violence in the way that they seem to be rallying against dogfighting? I'm sure a lot more innocent people get killed by guns in this country than dogs get killed through dogfighting. That does NOT make dogfighting right, but while folks are running around acting like armageddon is upon because of the revelations of vick's involvement in dogfighting, somebody's kid is getting killed not so far from you (probably closer than the nearest dogfight),and other people are dying across in Iraq, and yet somehow, Vick is the devil incarnate. Go figure.

How do you know we know nothing about the 3 kids that got shot you ignorant asshole?

You want to talk about that, start a thread on it you idiot. The thread is about the segment on HBO. What do you not understand about that? If the dogfighting is of no interest to you, don't click the thread. Do you understand that stupid?

yaaawn, you people bore me with your obsession over dog fights.

As if dogs have some monopoly on the good life, while we abuse other animals to our hearts content.

Name a farm animal that lives a half normal life before its slaughtered? Id call that abuse wouldnt you?

How about what happens to the bulls after their run in pamplona? Are we too soft to watch them get killed on live tv??

Please grow up and get a life.

Now Im off to have a burger and watch Lassie sink her fangs into some puppy.

People dont care as much about those kids who got killed, because they know the guys going to pay, and we all know, at THE VERRY WORST, Vick, is going to crawl home, and take a nap in his millions and millions.

that was sick and crazy, one had its mouth taped shut so it couldn't fight back and they showed a video of someone's kidnapped pet getting kicked by someone and then letting a pit bull loose on it. I can't imagine my lovable dog being kidnapped to have a pit bull practicing killing it because it is a non-fighting dog.

It is not like dog fighting is worse then murders of innocent kids, but people involved in this are the same kind of heartless low lives.

Also, anyone in any professional sport with a felony should be banned for life!

Whatever, they're ONLY domesticated dogs, just a step above rats and raccoons. We have more of a problem with this because we think they're cute and imagine that they love us.

what you eff'ing loseri don't wear leather, i don't wear fur and I don't eat any meat and I certainly don't run in front of the bullsnow you grow up and get a lifei wish someone would fry you up and serve you as a burger

Newark case: An illegal immigrant from Peru with 31 counts surrounding the alleged sexual assault of a child.

Dogfighting case: An NFL Quarterback, who has the biggest contract in NFL history.

The dogfighting case involves an extremely famous person who makes $130 million (plus endorsements) and is potentially facing approximately 20 years of prison (once RICO is added on Monday).

This story is so newsworthy because of the person, not necessarily the crime. Why is that so hard to understand? The public is not surprised when an illegal immigrant who is a suspected pedophile kills people. The public is surprised when a famous person who makes $130+ million dollars faces charges that can land him in prison for up to 20 years.

People would be this wound up if Vick was facing drug charges, rape charges, murder charges, assault charges...anything that can subject him to approximately 20 years of prison time.

In those types of cases, it would just be an organization other than PETA that shows up to protest.

i sincerely hope that in which ever prison he goes to, there is some sadistic psycho that happens to be a dog lover and gives vick what he deserves

You don't think that once someone goes to jail and pays their debt to society that they should be allowed to move on with their lives. He made a bad decision, and he will pay for it, but once he does I hope he is allowed back in the league.

Now if any team would want him,is a whole different question.

that wasnt your point. you called them hypocrites. I dont know how it is there fault they dont know about this shooting.
