Not a comment I would have expected, but perhaps it is part of a subculture among football players.

"NORFOLK, Va. — Washington Redskins players Clinton Portis and Chris Samuels defended Michael Vick on Monday by ridiculing the notion that dog fighting is considered a crime.

In an interview with WAVY-TV, Portis said that if the Atlanta Falcons quarterback is charged and convicted of being involved in a dog fighting operation, then authorities would be "putting him behind bars for no reason."

"I don't know if he was fighting dogs or not," Portis said. "But it's his property; it's his dogs. If that's what he wants to do, do it."

Portis said dog fighting is a "prevalent" part of life."

LOL. He's almost like Mike Tyson-level with his stupid commentary.

Koreans have also raised outrage over this dog fighting! "Why waste dogs in fighting when they are perfectly fine for supper!"

Here are some Korean dog recipes - http://wolf.ok.ac.kr/~annyg/english/e5.htm

LOL - I had to laugh at happy hour last Friday night. There were two girls sitting next me and the one said, "She's never going to be able to get rid of that dog, she's going to be stuck with it." Then the other girls said, "What are you doing later, we are thinking of getting some Korean BBQ." LMAO

One person on their staff who won't support that kind of talk is Joe Gibbs. Hopefully Joe Gibbs will stand up for what is right. Whatever the case may be, it's incidents like this that have caused me to stop watching professional football for years. Too many of these guys are ignorant. They should be forbidden from opening their mouths publicly.

They both apologized for their comments.

Thanks for the newsflash from three months ago.
