con_carne - ive been hearing some outrage about the Vick reinstatement - perhaps you're just not looking in the right places?

i think those who are most livid are not so much in the sports news business and probably not even sports fans

- excellent point. funny how that had 1/16th of the news coverage. -- nm - Guy Jul 29, 17:26 2
  - Well let's be honest, at least a part of the coverage, or lack thereof, was based on the "star power" of the respective player. - Stephen Jul 29, 17:29 1
    - Well, it DID happen in Miami. Barely even noticable amongst the other carnage. -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Jul 29, 17:46
- 'm sure this is partially true, but I think Stephen is right about this being the calm before the storm. -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Jul 29, 17:26
I think the outrage will come once (if?) a team picks him up. - Stephen Jul 29, 17:22 2
- im not saying only non-sports fans, but i do think they're on one end of the spectrum. (we're talking in part about PETA here, after all) -- nm - Guy Jul 29, 17:27
- Agreed. -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Jul 29, 17:23
