Clinton Portis

IN all honesty, I don't think it's all that bad. I don't agree with it, but lets get real, just as we may rip these guys to shreds, there are those who think horse racing is barbaric and cruel and in many ways it really is, yet we'll respond in ways that Portis is responding to dog fighting detractors. We drug these animals mercilessly, perhaps cruelly at times simply so we can bet on them. Many die needlessly for our enjoyment. And this is a whole lot different than dog fighting how?? If Portis grew up with dog fighting, I really can't criticize him that much for thinking as he does. I certainly enjoy horse racing , but I can't help thinking how cruel it is often. IF I take drugs it is my choice. These horses have no choice.

Let the ripping and shredding of me commence!!!
