Dog fighting is morally wrong
Dog fighting is illegal in all 50 states, a felony in 48
Vick has been accused of involvement
He is innocent until proven guilty so I'm not saying take action now
If he is convicted he should be sentenced according to the law
In Va that means 5 years I believe
It is my personal belief that the NFL should ban for life anyone convicted of this crime
Portis voiced an opinion
He also implied other may be involved including himself
This should be investigated
In any event, I disagree with Portis' pov and have said so
As a Skins fan, I'd rather he not be on the team...that however is not up to me.

Michael Vick is a moron. Without a steady stream of income he would be bankrupt in two years tops.
He's the star athlete in any high school USA except he made it. The majority of the rest are either in jail or on parole.
Dog fighting is rampant in the south. Local law enforcement simply does not have the time, money, or manpower to crack down on it.
Proving Michael Vick had anything to do with dog fighting is going to be a waste of time. The evidence will be circumstantial at best and he has the money to fight it.
This is just another story ESPN will ride until another star athlete gets caught doing something stupid.
If the new commissioner keeps this up the NFL will look like MLB when it was on strike.
