Gonzo resigns. Vick apologizes.

Edwards, on Gonzalez: Better late than never.
Ventre, on Vick: You apologized for everything except what's important - the dogs.

There have been worse Mondays, I suppose.

I've been told that the NAACP defended Vick in public (I haven't followed up), but I'm astonished that an otherwise rational person could imagine that a white quarterback engaged in the same activity would have gotten off any lighter. Murdering dogs is murdering dogs... it's so difficult for me to see it in any other terms that for one rare time I have difficulty seeing another (honest) person's point of view.

Unknown said...: Gonzalez’s resignation was inevitable. What I think Vick is apologizing for is getting caught.; Friday, September 14, 2007 1:21:00 PM
hipparchia said...: i'm afraid you're absolutely right about vick. also, i'm afraid that once the furor dies down, people will forget about dog fighting and it will go on, unchecked.; Friday, September 14, 2007 5:10:00 PM
