One thing that gets ignored, was who was at Micheal Vick’s fog fights, how many NFL players attended these events. I ave always believed that part of the reason the NFL let Vick back in was to keep him quiet about that part of the his dog fighting business. This article hints at a dog fighting problem in the NFL:
“Washington Redskins players Clinton Portis and Chris Samuels defended Michael Vick on Monday by ridiculing the notion that dog fighting is considered a crime.
In an interview with WAVY-TV, Portis said that if the Atlanta Falcons quarterback is charged and convicted of being involved in a dog fighting operation, then authorities would be ‘putting him behind bars for no reason.’
‘I don’t know if he was fighting dogs or not,’ Portis said. ‘But it’s his property; it’s his dogs. If that’s what he wants to do, do it.’
Portis said dog fighting is a ‘prevalent’ part of life.”
At this point if the NFL keeps Vick around it will definitely seem to bolster the argument that Vick is being given hush money.
