That is not to make light of inhumane animal treatment but let us put things in perspective. people shall always trump livestock and pets in importance and value and rightfully so.

I'm not so sure if "People shall always trump pets" is true, we have lot of sick, scumbags posing as a human being, and I value my dogs life more than those scumbags, but that's just me.

Perhaps, but according to the U.S. Census Bureau's Statistical Abstract of the United States, the numbers were 260 million for 1994 (link) and 263 million for 1995 (link). Still, in the grand scheme of things, what do those guys know ANYway?

Yeah....

But....

We know there was more than that.... IS more than that now
Average household of 5 can EASILY be 25 in some cases... I have seen this!

I don't care either way.

As respectfully as possible I must say it would be outrageous to compare the slaughter of two human beings with the mistreatment and extermination of some dogs.

I agree.

If the question is whether the OJ case or Vick's case is/was the most negative for the NFL - I'd probably vote for Vick, given that Vick is a current NFL player.

Because the OJ thing happened long after his retirement, I don't think that OJ's case reflected all that much on the NFL's image.

If one question was sealed to be opened in 2020 and asked among all NFL fans, which would shed the most negitive light? The O.J. Simpson case or the Michael Vick case?

Hands down, OJ.

OJ is worse for obvious reasons (2 people were murdered for you dummies).

But in terms of hurting the league, I think that Vick being an active player really puts a stain on it. Especially since he was one of the poster boys of the league.

This is really going to probably sound wrong, but I think the NFL is happy that at least their negative press involves individual players doing stupid things. I know any negative action by a player of a league is bad....but I think the NFL is happy it's not steroids, etc., which actually stain the legitamicy of the product.

I think you are right.

As bad as Vick's behavior apparently was, the Vick problem isn't as nearly as harmful to the NFL as the NBA problem (i.e., potentially corrupt officials) would be.

I think dog fighting is wrong, and believe Vick is getting what he deserves, mainly for being dumb enough to do this, but they're just dogs. OJ killed (or was accused of killing) 2 people.
