"Ass Hat" just may be too endearing a term for Mike Vick. Perhaps "Scum Bag" or "Piece of Garbage" would be more appropriate. I used to enjoy watching Vick play, and the all-world athleticism he showed on the field. Now Vick is one of the reasons I am getting completely turned off by the NFL.
I don't want to single out Vick. The same thing could be said for the entire contingent of trash that are involved in this type of activity. Engaging in this "hobby" doesn't make you a "player." It makes you a low-life pimp. It doesn't make you a "man." It makes you inhuman. And the fact that these people, including Vick, don't get the public outrage makes them ignorant (i.e. dumb), not only to the law, but to the ways of human life. If you want to get your gamble on, go to the race track. Go to the casino. Play poker. Breeding and pitting two dogs against each other to fight until death is simply barbaric.
None of the following crimes are excusable: stealing, assault, drugs. But people steal because they need money. Arguments and fights that escalate to physical abuse happen. People have addictions to drugs. What's the excuse for dog fighting? Your need to prove you're a gangsta? All it proves is that you're the scum of the earth. It proves that you are incapable of acting like a human being.
And sorry, the "it's his dogs and his property" argument doesn't work (we'll call this the Clinton Portis argument). It's a crime for a reason. It's a felony for a reason. That argument simply makes you sound uneducated. (what's that say for Clinton's education at the "U"?) I understand Vick has yet to be charged. Those people who want to exonerate him because of this are the same people that claim Barry Bonds hasn't done steroids. I'm sure the whole story is fabricated and it's probably just a big conspiracy.
