Clinton Portis is an asshole

Usually I try to take a moderate position here on the Stain Club. I try and see both sides of the Iraq issue. I don't take it personally when Mitch stabs me in the back and slanders my beloved Carson Palmer (note: he's beloved in non-sexual man crush / football idol sort of way... but there wouldn't be anything wrong with it if that were another kind of love). But one topic is guaranteed to piss me off: animal abuse.

There's nothing right about this. Plain and simple. Don't think I'm going on a diatribe about animal drug testing, hunting, or the benefits of vegetarianism. Those are not my issues. My issue is going out and abusing defenseless animals for your sick twisted amusement. Anyone who doesn't recognize the slippery slope of animal abuse which could lead to other forms of abuse, including ones directed towards people is kidding themselves. Is it surprising that ole' Ronny Mexico is the guy who allegedly hosted and attended the dog-fights? I think not.

However, this isn't about our beloved choke artist Mike Vick, I'm willing to let the legal system play out before I outright condemn him. Clinton Portis, though, is willing to assume that he was hosting the dog fights. And he thinks that's okay. He says people should "mind their own business." Thanks Clinton. I'm glad you're now in charge of our nation's laws.

There are so many places I could go with his idiocy right now, but I'll simply say that Clinton Portis has a keen sense of history when it comes to the notion of letting someone do with their living "property" what they will.
