About This Page: This is a discussion on Basketball within the LetsGoKings.com forums, at Los Angeles Kings Hockey Fan Forum. Only a complete moron would come out not only in support of Michael Vick-but supporting Dogfighting as a sport.
This is the US and one is entitled to an opinion
Only a complete moron would come out not only in support of Michael Vick-but supporting Dogfighting as a sport.
This is the US and one is entitled to an opinion but if Im a highly paid athlete in the prime of my career Im not so sure right now is the best time to bring this up.
"I think it's tough," Marbury said, according to Albany TV station Capital News 9. "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."
Hardly constitutes SUPPORTING dogfighting as a sport.

Agreed but once again timing is everything and something tells me this isnt the best time to say anything at remotely resembling support for digfighting. His agent is probably gearing up for serious damage control here in the near future.

Hip, what do you have against digfighting? Miners have a tough job. Let them pummel it out in occassion to relieve some stress.

NEW YORK -- It didn't take long for New York Knicks guard Stephon Marbury to go from defending Michael Vick to distancing himself from the soon-to-be-imprisoned Atlanta Falcons quarterback.
After being criticized for his remarks Monday for calling dogfighting a sport and comparing it to hunting, Marbury told the New York Post for Thursday's editions that he despises dogfighting and that Vick "is 100 percent wrong."
"I don't like it at all," Marbury said of dogfighting. "I don't think [Vick's] right. But this dude is trying to ask for forgiveness. ... The way the way it's going about in the newspapers and TV, it's ridiculous."
Marbury also said he never called dogfighting a sport.
"I said, 'From what I hear, dogfighting was a sport.' They're editing me on TV," he said.
Marbury is a good guy. He not only created basketball shoes that he sells for $15, he donates them to all the high school basketball teams in NYC that need them. He's involved with countless charities around NY and puts his money and fame to the best possible use. He went to New Orleans to help people when Katrina hit, all in all he's a good hearted person.
Having said all that, he needs to sometimes just say nothing, for his own good.

1. You don't know crap about Marbury as a person...at best, you are a fan. You have no basis for the "good guy' assertion that you throw around like gospel. Remember, at one time most people thought OJ was a "good guy" too.
2. Image building PR & tax write-offs don't make a "good guy".
3. His comments are far more revealing about what kind of "guy" he is than any crap his handlers release to the media.
