Is Michael Vick really aka "Ookie"?

Robin, you're all over the place there....rodeos, rampant habitat destruction, the CIRCUS??? Don't forget frisbee dogs and catch and release fishing. And as for seal clubbing, this is widely considered an appalling issue and not a "gambling sport" as are ANY of the issues you mentioned.The issue with Michael Vick is one of a celebrity figure who thinks he's much bigger than the law and common morality. You see, in my mind just because M. Vick does jail time, doesn't make him a better person. He's still got mental issues about why he found it important and entertaining to torture and kill dogs for money. He's not a product of "rap culture" or harsh upbringings. He's a sick individual who knew he was breaking laws and acting in a inhumane manner. The NFL is a club and doesn't have to interact with him if they don't want to. I don't think you're depriving him by banning him for life. He's made millions already. Michael Vick is a huge figure who influences kids around the world. He's a big fish who affects the morality ideals of many. There is no hypocrisy here and Milloy is misguided.

Funny, I didn't see any suggestion in Courtland Millard's story that said dogfighting isn't bad. His point, as you well know, was the HYPOCRISY of those who are outraged by Michael Vick's case, but directly or indirectly endorse other forms of animal torture. I actually wrote a blog about this last week some time. Specifically, the practices I mentioned that people don't open their mouths about are: rattlesnake roundups, rodeos, livestock branding, rampant habitat destruction, hunting for "sport", clubbing of harbor seal pups, wearing fur/suede/leather, visiting the circus, slaughterhouses, ear/tail cropping, or maybe the fact that damn every frickin' wild animal on the planet is threatened or endangered thanks to the practices of humans. Any outrage over those things? Nahhh... but let's keep crowing about Michael Vick. Hypocrites. And nice way to spin what Millard's story was saying.

i'm just impressed that he didn't make the column all about race, because i was 99% sure that's the way he was going to go.
