“The dogs never asked to be a part of any fight.”

One could make an argument that these dogs (and roosters for that matter) were breed to be fighters and willingly consent to do so when given the opportunity.

Wonder why even a lib liked Danson would throw the hotdog down that “hall” more than once???

Surely he’s lying, that ugly girl must have something going for her not normally observable to the masses.

In his indictment, a professional dogfighter wondered why torture the dogs you want to dispose of, wouldn’t it be better just to shoot them.

Exactly. If you have a problem dog you do what has to be done by putting it down as quickly and painlessly as possible. To do otherwise indicates a sick, sadistic and twisted mentality.

Doesn’t change the fact that once upon a time she was very good as a stand up comedian.

You and I have a vastly different idea of "funny" then. I vaguely remember seeing her stand up routine and thinking "what dreck"

A competitive martial art, like kickboxing or wrestling. Wrestlers just happen to be smarter....

Whoopi is on the show already? So Democrat party officials can get out there calculators and figure out how much more free advertising they are getting from ABC and the other networks. The Dems probably save countless billions thanks to their “entertainment” media flunkies.

Maybe, no way to know for sure.

What we do know is your memory is lacking on this topic.

Mine isn’t, I still have all the HBO series on comedians from that era on tape somewhere.

...”even in a sport as cruel as dogfighting, Vick’s behavior was beyond the norms within the sport.”...

Sport???? Are you kidding or not? Norms??? Truly we are beyond “norms” here, are we not? Your use of the term “sport” with dogfighting suggests to me that you condone it.

So what is boxing?

Boxing is a martial art form involving human opponents pitted against each other's boxing skill.

I don’t think the advertisers/endorsers want to be associated with a dog torture apologist.

I guess we'll find out if anyone besides Nike has a spine.

Ted Danson once said that making love to Whoopi Goldberg was like throwing a hot dog down the hall.

But what does that mean?!

Seriously - what does it mean?

Its not a sport. A sport requires a ball or a puck. Other forms of so called sport are competitions. But as for dogfighting, its neither a sport nor competition, its plain and simple brutallity.

You take a very high minded and fairly modern view of sport. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, sport was not something associated with gentleman. A sporting man was a man, who drank, gambled, and associated with prostitutes. And when he gambled chances are it was on blood sports such as dogfighting and cockfighting. Sports has taken on virtutes that I am not sure it deserves, just as journalism has taken on virtues that it certainly does not deserve. The celebrity that surrounds sports and journalism today may elevate those pursuits in the minds of some. Blood sport may not be a pure a sport, but it is sport, and sport in general cannot deny its unpleasant ancestry.

Forget the cultural aspect of dogfighting, which Whoops uses solely as a race card.

Take a dog and string it up in a tree. Hose it down with water and then electrocute it. That is what Michael Vick did to at least one of those dogs.

Goldberg is a moron.

I agree with you. The para below is from “A message from Jack Dempsey” in the instruction sheet from the Jack Dempsey EVERLAST boxing gloves I got about 45 years ago...

“Boxing is fun!...Box with your friends. Box with your Dad...Be a better sportsmen and you’ll be a better American.”

Ratings ratings ratings.

It's all about the ratings. Whoopie will find something else equally outrageous to say just as soon as the furor from this one dies down.

She's a ratings whore just like Rosie was - no difference.
