"Guy who didn't think dogfighting was that big a deal ..."
Well, the record of the early versions of the F-4 Phantom as being stand-off missile combat only certainly proved that guns still have their role in fighter armament.
I mean, it is a common refrain that professional athletes should start businesses and/or find additional streams of revenue so they can better situate themselves post playing career. Maybe no one told Portis that they should be conducted via legal means. Gosh, we're so judgy sometimes.
The odd thing is, at the time Vick played for Atlanta, it was legal to fight dogs in Georgia at the time. He went to Virginia to do it, where it wasn't. I wonder what the fallout would have been if he had conducted his business in GA.
Adolf Oliver Nipples:ThePea: This may be a controversial thing to say, but I'm starting to think getting hit in the head doesn't help people make good decisions.
The enabling from an early age doesn't typically bring about maturity in decision making, either.
Here here. Let's give them bajillions in college instead.

He was charged federally though in addition to Virginia's charges. Also, because it instantly became a national story I imagine most of the public outcry would have been the same.

See how easily shiat starts? First you're joking around in a Fark thread then before you can say Southern bloodsports you're hopped up on cocaine and meperidine, gibbering like an enraged baboon as two roosters try to kill each other in a deserted bayou warehouse.

IIRC the federal charges were the interstate travel to commit a crime not the actual crime itself.

ZMugg: Teh headline confused me. Wasn't dog-fighting a Michael Vick thing? I wasn't familiar with the Clinton Portis angle.
When the Vick shiat went down, Portis came out and said he didn't see what the big deal was.
