A newspaper reporter who said Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick would have been "better off raping a woman" than being charged with dogfighting has apologized and will no longer appear on the local sports panel TV show where he made the remark.

He has a point. Kolbe got over the rape charge, but this dog fighting charge is gonna doom Vick. Of course, the merits of the rape charge were always much more in question than these charges against Vick, but still if it was 'just' rape, Vick would stand a better chance at coming back. I don't understand it, but that is the truth.

It's because, in the hierarchy of victimhood that is our society today; animals trump people.
