I read a little on this and a few points come to mind...first, Portis has shown both a lack of compassion and a lack of knowledge of the law; his remarks are sad indeed. Vick hasn't even been charged yet, there may or may not be evidence that he was involved in dog fighting so I won't comment regarding his guilt (or innocence). What I will say is that if he is subsequently convicted of what would be a felony, that would constitute the basis for a lifetime ban from the NFL imo. Portis has a right to his opinion but so do the fans, as a life-long Skins fan, I'd rather not have him or anyone who feels as he does on the team...I hope that message gets through to management. I've read some comments left at sites (ok, I've read a lot)...some folks agree with Portis, some are using this to make racial slurs, I find both mindsets offensive. For the record, I stand with my PETA friends on this one...everyone proven to be involved MUST do significant jail time
