#88 I know that OJ Simpson’s history of abuse toward his wife might not had ended in her death if the NFL took violence against other humans as seriously as violence against dogs.
It that clear enough? I was also addressing the commenter’s opinions who alluded to the abused as being able to get a restraining order or carry a gun as an excuse for taking the abuse against an animal more serious as abuse against another human.
I myself believe that people should be given second chances since we ALL are fallible, yet at the same time I understand why people do not want to watch Vick’s play in the NFL. I just think it should be taken with the same gravity as a football player who commits violence against another human such as spouse or girlfriend or child. I don’t think it is, and many people including the NFL cover it up by pretending it is a ‘private’ matter.
If a NFL player wants to keep his private life private, then stop involving the police. Once the police are involved then their qualifying for playing professional sports should be questioned, just as Vick’s qualifying to play professional sports for his abuse of animals is being questioned.
I agree with Meryl. It’s the money and whether a players behavior will affect the profits, not necessarily the seriousness of the crime.
