David Stern! Calling David Stern! Please pick up the white courtesy phone!

NBA players are saying that the felony of dogfighting is just sport. Your league is continuing to implode.

Any comment, David?

And here I thought Stephon Marbury was a cultured and refined individual...

[Vanbasten]

I think he has a point. Are we allowed to kill animals or not?

[Rocko]

From what I hear, Stephon Marbury is an idiot. It’s just out in the open.

[Leg Olam]

From the article...’it’s unknown how it will affect his football career.’

Uh...how about ‘over’.

“Your league (NBA) is continuing to implode.”

Any comment, David?

I think he's hiding under his bed.

I wonder if the venerable “sport” of bear-bating will also be making a comeback in the near future.

The good news is that more and more Euro players who actually have skills are replacing the thugs.

"...You know, from what I hear, dogfighting is a sport.
It's just behind closed doors."

I'll give Mr. Marbury the benefit of the doubt.
Maybe all he knows about dogfighting, cockfighting, etc. ,
is that it's the practice of select devotees, not done in the
public arena.

But he should be sent a copy of the "Most Evil" series that was
recently on The Discovery Channel, as well as the "Ice Man" specials
(A&E) on the Mafia contract-murderer Kucklinski (sp?).

In those shows he'll learn that abuse of animals is too often
(NOT ALWAYS!!!) the hallmark of a sadist.
Some of which do "graduate" into a sadist and killer of innocent humans.

I pray that God in Heaven will bless U.S. Attorney Charles Rosenburg and his staff for taking down the evil dirtbag Vick and the other demons who tortured the poor dogs in Virginia. God Bless Charles Rosenburg.

“Chuck Rosenberg was appointed by Attorney General Alberto Gonzales in March 2006 to serve as the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia. He was subsequently nominated to that position by President George Bush and confirmed by the United States Senate, unanimously, on June 13, 2006.

As the chief federal law enforcement officer for the District, which includes offices in Alexandria, Newport News, Norfolk and Richmond, Mr. Rosenberg supervises the prosecution of all federal crimes, and the litigation of all civil matters in which the federal government has an interest.” http://www.usdoj.gov/usao/vae/usattorney.html

That pitbulls are vicious monsters that are only good for mauling children and other pets, and they should all have been exterminated yesterday is a popular position on this board.

Right up until they’re involved in dogfighting at which point they’re our loyal companions again whose death or mistreatment is a moral outrage. Out come the pictures of the injured beasts to elicit, I suppose, sympathy. Fighting is as instinctive and presumably pleasurable to them as eating or f-—ing, and we’re supposed to feel sorry for them?

We’re then righteously told that animal abusers are sociopaths who would just as quickly abuse humans - by people who are openly fantasizing about the abuser himself (that is, a human) being homosexually raped in prison before being dismembered on live TV by packs of dogs in the Georgia Dome.

The hypocrisy is off the charts, and the logic is off the deep end.

Blame the NBA if you want, but blame the NFL first, it actually has a dogfighting conviction to its credit!
