On the first day that this story was in the news, I head an ESPN football analyst say that Vick is a spokesman for the NFL dog fighting subculture. Spokesman might not have been his exact word, but he definitely did say “NFL dog fighting subculture.” I haven’t heard any more about this since that day, but I suspect there is a story waiting for an investigative journalist.
This is VERY bad publicity for the NFL. I can only presume (and hope) that they are going to pursue all of the rotten apples and not just Vick.
Personally, I don’t see this issue going away anytime soon.
As they say, sunlight is the best disinfectant.
