ESPN has a lot of egg on their face right now. When they mentioned it on Sportscenter this morning the hosts were saying he MIGHT get a four game suspension I repeat MIGHT get a four game suspension.
The commissioner has not made any decision yet. Hopefully the outcry from the false report will give Goodell some idea of what the punishment should be.
:cow:
MV is a disgrace to humanity. How anyone can take a dog and
hang it or
throw it to the ground or
electrocute it in order to kill it is beyond my comprehension. It sounds like a developing serial killer kinda thing.
BTW, there is no evidence MV ever did that himself he was bankrolling the operation of the guys who did.
In the debate on the sports board I post on somebody said of the people defending MV that it's easy to tell who has and who hasn't had pets. Too true.
BTW, those defending MV weren't defending his crime. They were saying he's put in enough time already and there should be no additional punishment from the NFL.
One thing that really bothers me is when people talk about "How much money he's lost" over this whole thing as if that should be considered part of his punishment.
EVERYBODY who goes to jail loses a big percentage of their money. If they had a job they'll most likely lose it and they won't be able to make money over the time of their sentence. Just because MV lost millions of dollars doesn't make it any worse than Joe Schmoe who loses the same %age of his income. The dollar amounts are just much different. Oh well.
IMO, he'd still be fighting dogs if he wasn't caught. He lied in the faces of the owner of the Falcons and the Commissioner too. He seems genuinely sorry about his crime, they say, so he should be punished lightly now.
I guess a lot of people and I see it differently.
