After spending a long time browsing the game-dog.com site, I'm conflicted about these sad people. On the one hand, it is very obvious that the participants in this forum aren't the type of inner-city crackheads most people nowdays associate with dog-fighting. And it's obvious that they adore their dogs. On the other hand, they can't or won't see dog-fighting as abuse of the animal, the basic excuse being "it's what the dogs love to do because it's bred into them." Gee guys, if it's bred into them dontcha think it's a worthy goal to breed it out of them? I'm generally on the side of the dogs here, but with their supposed advocates making these kinds of excuses, I don't have a lot of hope that this breed (and it is a real breed) can be rehabilitated.

I was strangely fascinated too, by browsing around that forum. I also spent a long time there. I didn't end up with mixed feelings, I think they're awful, just more sophisticated than I might have thought. They may 'love' their dogs, but only for how well they fight. They speak pretty casually about culling or otherwise sacrificing others.
