Dog fighting is a SPORT?? (this post copied from another blog)

That's what Stephon Marbury said. The New York Knicks player came to the defense of Michael Vick and compared dogfighting to hunting.
He said, "I think, you know, we don't say anything about people who shoot deer or shoot other animals. You know, from what I hear, dogfighting is a sport. It's just behind closed doors.''
Dogfighting is not like hunting at all. In dogfighting these dogs torture each other and basically die a slow death! Hunters don't go out there and slowly torture a damn deer and then lock it up in a cage and watch it bleed to death. Totally different.
Stephon isn't the only person coming to Michael's defense. The NAACP held a press conference urging the NFL to let Michael play.
"As a society, we should aid in his rehabilitation and welcome a new Michael Vick back into the community without a permanent loss of his career in football," said R.L. White, president of the group's Atlanta chapter. "We further ask the NFL, Falcons, and the sponsors not to permanently ban Mr. Vick from his ability to bring hours of enjoyment to fans all over this country."
Hours of enjoyment?! Who the hell can enjoy that dude knowing that he killed 8 lil' pooches? Where's Cujo when you need him?

I've been hearing bits and pieces of this shit all week, and I've tried to avoid it because it's so infuriating and ridiculous! I even heard someone refer to dog fighting as cultural, so it's not his fault. What culture? Asshole culture? Sure, it's not his fault he's a tool.
