As an owner of a beautiful German Shephard and an equally spiritied Mini-Schnauzer, I was really upset initially with Mr. Vick’s decisions. Then I thought that in some countries dogs are domesticated, farmed and eaten as food. Wow! Talk about terrible! Then I thought, what about the animals we in the U.S.A. domesticate, farm and eat. Who is standing up for the plight of the helpless chickens and cows…what about the pigs and turkeys? Yeah, yeah, I know what you are going to say…it was just a thought anyway.

I’m new to the South, so up until recently I wasn’t aware that dog fighting was illegal; I just thought it was some Southern sport akin to cockfighting or greyhound races. I’m iffy on the whole “allowing him to play in the national league” thing. I don’t believe that the actions of an individual necessarily reflect on the organization to which he belongs. I don’t make those leaps of logic that presume that allowing someone to play despite bad behaviour means the organization condones the action. It can still not condone it and still allow him to play. I think the organization is reacting more to the outcry than to an actual disapproval of bad behaviour, which I don’t think it really cares about at all.

Would my example work better for you had Vick been a professional boxer?

There seems to be two ways of looking at the word violence. In football, the goal is not to actually hurt or kill an opponent. Flattening a quarterback (who expects the other team to be coming and has his own team of 300 pounders to protect him) and intentionally beating a dog to death isn’t the same thing. In the former, injuries happen; in the later death is intended. The NFL (in my silly opinion) should not allow Vick back because of his illegal violence. Allowing him back would mean that the NFL is accepting the killing type of violence as being OK for the NFL players.
