My opinion, Riley shouldn't be punished at all. And no, not because of this stupid reasoning that "they say it all the time" or "listen to the rappers". He shouldn't be punished because its a word, and black people such as myself need to stop trying to tell people what they can or can't say. People should be able to say what they want, and in turn be willing to accept whatever reaction they garner from a person. You want to say it, then take your chances. Because I've been saying it my whole life and have never had a problem, so there's no cause for me to stop. If a white person says it to me, I'm a little uneasy, but not offended. He's got to deal with the rest of the league now on the field. That's punishment enough. |

Killing for food is one thing, but killing for sport is no different. You're killing an animal for your own pleasure. Because you want to. Because you enjoy killing the animal. Mind you, I don't care if people hunt, kill, or torture animals in the 1st place. I'm not an animal sympathizer. Is it unnecessary? Yeah. Do I really care? Nah. If you want to hunt, hunt. Want to fight pitbulls, fight pitbulls. Roy Jones does the rooster fighting. Its all the same. Just my opinion. |

There is a huge difference, it's called waste. If I hunt a cow for food it is the same as a slaughterhouse putting beef on the table... If I hunt a cow and leave the meat to rot it is illegal and wasteful. What he did was illegal .. Some would say that is difference enough and reason to go to jail... Breaking the law that is. When enough people do illegal things, the government starts to take away the rights of the lawful. |

As far as the cow scenario, if not for it being illegal to just leave it there due to it being a food source, more people would do things like that. |

That isn't an opinion it is a fact. ![]()
Mike Vick should have went to jail. Mike Vick should have been allowed to play for any team willing to employ him. |
