There is a LARGE difference, that is absolutely true...but how widespread is the practice of this? How many guys in the NFL have dogs and go to these events? Is it 20-30? Over 100? 200?? What is their involvement with it? How large of a subculture in the NFL is it?? There is no doubt in my mind that what Vick has allegedly done, from raising dogs, training and fighting them and then killing them, is NOT what many if any other NFL players have done. If that is how you took what I said, that is incorrect and that is not what I meant. That this is a subculture that is practiced and goes on in the underground is more the case. Vick may be more the egregious offender and purveyer of these barbaric things, but the whole thing is totally wrong and anyone connected to it, whether as deeply involved as Vick allegedly was or just going once or twice, should be dealt with strongly by the league. Yes, there's quite a difference between the two, but both are wrong...and I would not say miles difference..because I think anyone attending these events is only a few steps away, if even that, morally.I highly doubt that what Vick is alleged to have done is all that widespread... I am not defending the practice, but there's miles of difference between a guy who goes to 2-3 fights per year compared to the egregious offenses Vick is accused of.
