[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The real question is why was there more outrage about Vick than Roethlisburger?  A combination of racism and misogyny. People are harder on the black guy, and not as hard on the rapist because "women make things up against rich/famous people."

Vick has paid his dues. What he did made me sick, but he's done his time in prison.  It's over.  [/quote]

It's not about race.  Big Ben has won superbowls.  Vick has not.  Ray Lewis killed someone and we all love him.  [/quote]

It was, in a way, though.  "We" expect football players or other huge angry men who hit people for a living to hit women and hurt people. It's so common that "we" have come to accept it. It plays right into every stereotype we have about big bad boys and black men.

But hurt a DOGGIE? Man's best friend? *MINDS BLOW*

And I don't know where the heck the OP was. People nearly went insane when he was reinstated. I was in Philly then and the protests were huge. Personally I'm like the op I quoted. He did his time, he complied, let a man move on.

Turn your fury where it belongs. Frankly dog<woman, every time. I can't even believe that I had to type that out. [/quote]

Maybe because dogs don't lie about being fought.[/quote]
