People are not "BEATING A DEAD HORSE," they are "BEATING A BLACK DEAD
HORSE," which bigots can't get enough of. Michael Vick has been condemned
in the worst way. Phil Spector is strongly suspected and on trial for putting
a gun in the mouth of a woman and blowing her head off. You barely see anything on the news about the brutality of this. If Phil Spector was black, he would be talked about and condemned like Vick is. I'm 61 and I knew of dogfighting
when I was 8. Mike Vick is the only person that I know of who has received
this kind of condemnation for it. Why? Because the majority of participants have
been whites. Thus, PETA, local police officials and the feds have "buried their
heads in the sand," for all these years waiting for a Michael Vick, so they can
beat up a rich black professional athlete and promote themselves and their
organizations as well. Make no mistake, I'm not advocating that Vick should not
be punished for his crimes but he should not be made a poster child while countless others escape without a scratch. I want to give these people and organizations a heads up. Cockfighting is illegal and happening in America. But
nothing will be done until a prominent black or other minority is caught participating,
Right?

You are saying the majority of dogfighting participants have been white? Then why did vick and his supporters try to claim that doggfighting was a "cultural" thing?

That would be nice...I will say I've got enough faith in Joey Bananas that I grabbed him for my fantasy team. is Finneran broken for the year yet?[/quote]
Yes, Finneran has a blow gasket again, and he's out of the race for the second year. This might be it for him. :confused:[/quote]
That's a real shame. He was always so deceptively fast, and a real fan favorite

:cool: The reason I out that out there, is because I'm scrolling though a lot , and I mean , a lot of people out there still to this day, boo hoooin' about Vick and the dog fighting thing. I'm just saying to them, let it go, let's move on from all of that stuff, because we have a new coach, and the whole Falcons team to watch this season. You want to talk about Petrino, and the rest of the team, hey I'm all for that.:rolleyes: Look out for Norwood to have a great year, and Joey Harrington to look real good because someone is going to catch a lot more balls than he is used to having. That might build up his confidence, and do better with us. I'm looking at a 10-6 season and a wildcard.[/quote]

The Falcons team has been there before Michael Vick and his MAMA, and them dogs, and they're going to be there way after they are long gone. I'm just simply saying , GET OVER IT PEOPLE! I'm stil a die hard Atlanta Falcons fan!:cool: [/quote]
All I'm saying is lead by example rather than continuing to talk about Vick yourself. Yap some about Training camp or anything else. What do you think they'll do this year? I don;t know. All I know is what you think about Vick, so drop the jibber jabber and make with the Petrino talk if that's what you really want to do.
