Life, football, and fines.

I must applaud the NFL today. 5 Players from the Atlanta Falcons were slapped with fines over a game last monday for coming out in support of Michael Vick. I cannot understand the motivation of these guys. I mean besides the fact that they are supporting someone who himself as admitted he was wrong, but the shear cruelty of the event should make it obvious.

They are supporting pain and suffering.

The NFL, like most of mass media, has such a sway over the populous, and they took a strong stance on this issue in my opinion. I am glad that they continue to not back down, even if they are using a "uniform violation" as the reasoning behind it.

Now they just need to switch to synthetic balls.

My message to those 5 players...
...you want to support Vick? Never let him forget the pain and suffering he caused to the dogs. Don't let this kind of abuse happen again. Fight animal cruelty.
