Let's face it…didn't we all know that when he was caught and went to prison that when he got out he would play professional football again. That is the way professional sports is - it isn't about the character of the players, it is about their skill level at their sport. All the petitions in the world, don't amount to anything when it comes to winning and the $$$$$.
I agree with Agile, the best way to show displeasure is to speak with the almighty buck...as this is what it is all about to the NFL, NBA, etc., etc. And I also agree with whoever said that sports and entertainment people are not what parents should be holding up as role models for children...and IMHO, that is the parents job.
The latest this week is that there are 5 teams that are really interested in him - and that he may already be signed...he will be signed before training camp is over (potentially by the end of the week). Skill wise/salary wise - I think he'll be the same as he was before he got involved with dogfighting. Where his income cut will come will be his problem getting endorsements.
He was in Chicago this week speaking at an HSUS luncheon about the tragedy of dogfighting - and the Humane Society says that he is required to speak against it for years to come (including public service announcements). If there is anything good that may come of all of this, maybe that is it. Let's face it, dogfighting (and its ramification) has a much higher profile because of this.
