The difference is that ESPN or Fox Sports is not there to report it. When it comes to shootings at strip clubs that are reported on ESPN, surely there are much more non-football players than football players involved. If no athlete is involved, you don't get to hear about them on ESPN or Fox Sports.

So, I assume from your statement that the NFL allows this stuff to go on because it's just entertainment, shock value, more people will watch a train wreck theory? It has nothing to do with an 8 year old boy in Toledo who watches Vick play football and idolizes the stupid SOB and wants to be just like him?

and yes I will have to agree with you that thousands of people get speeding tickets everyday, but I am very sure that not many of them are in the same situation as Pacwoman.

and yes Reiper you have to admit there have been alot of shootings at strip clubs invloving professional athletes in recent months. I don't think I've seen any other stories on the news involving your average fan shooting something at a strip club in Atlanta other than a load in his pants.
