Lamar, to me, is light years ahead of where Vick was at that point. |

Re: Sam Darnold... should we?
Oh 100%, animal cruelty is something he'll never be forgiven for and never deserves to be. Dogs are some of the most loyal creatures on this planet and for him to do what he did was sickening.

Also, Aaron Brooks was a part of New Orleans first playoff win so he'll always have a special place in my heart. That win meant so much to me since they had a history of never living up to expectations. Stupid 49ers. Haslett didn't do Brooks any favors, either. |

Vick took the fall and didn’t name names. ![]()
The Queen of England races horses. When one is injured what do they do, Death is the solution. Death is Death, no matter how you get there. The only difference in dog fighting and horse racing is a do-rag vs a fancy hat. Animals suffering at the pleasure of humans. REMEMBER before I’m torn apart, I did say dog fighting is wrong. This is the same as Bountygate vs the Eagle’s Gopher program. |

Horses, for the most part, are not hurt by racing them (they run all the time in pastures). Dogs are designed to be hurt by fighting them. There were stories of drowning and electrocuting dogs that did not meet standards at Vick’s place. That is not done to horses. Your comparison is like saying a fight between two professional boxers is the same as a bully beating the crap out of a weaker kid in a school bathroom.

Horses are breed to be ran. Ain’t nobody breeding pitbulls to be family pets. LEGAL. Alcohol prohibition never ended. The courts just stopped enforcing penalties and it forced the laws to be changed. Dog fighting is wrong. |

And in vick’s case his animals were tortured with electrocution and drowning...racehorses are not. Although that does fit into the legality of the two “sports” as well.
