I know you weren’t comparing the severity of the situations, I was just pointing out that the nature of Vick’s actions likely were covered in his contract.Honest question, I’m guessing dog fighting is a federal crime?
Also, I wasn’t trying to compare the two offenses, just pointing out that the NFL doesn’t have a lot of specific rules but they can fall under the “code of conduct” umbrella.
Vick was prosecuted at both the state and federal level. I think the federal charges probably came out of the racketeering and organized crime element of the gambling operation.
