Actually, a lot of folks who get DUI's lose their jobs and I doubt we'll see Vick on welfare but again, this is all a smokescreen. It's a rather obvious attempt to divert attention away from the issue here by arguing points that have nothing to do with the issue...here is my position:
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.
