Pocket$ $traight 05-21-2007, 09:31 PM Nothing that Portis said here was funny......nothing.
That is why I had a slash and stupid attached. I think he was trying to be funny and because there is zero real news out there, this became a story.
Unless Clinton is fighting dogs himself, this is a non-story.
If anyone is actually offended by this, grow a pair. Athletes are entertainers. If you actually look to most athletes to be some type of role model, sorry, but you are an idiot.
That is the truth and, sometimes, the truth hurts.
hesscl34 05-21-2007, 09:35 PM Are we still on this??????? He said something stupid out of loyalty for a fellow player. Maybe he doesn't care much for animals, but in the big picture does this really matter. I just think this is a HUGE waste of time!
SmootSmack 05-21-2007, 09:57 PM The more I watch it the more I think Samuels looks like the clown for that stupid laughing he does.
Either way, a "no comment" would have sufficed
On a happier note Shawn Springs returns June 5th

Nice segway Smoot. Our best cornerback and one of our top 2 players on D reporting for duty, now that is a real story.

SmootSmack 05-21-2007, 10:41 PM I don't want to hijack this thread (nonsensical as it may be) any further than I have already
Therefore, direct all future questions regarding Springs' return to this thread linked below:

jdlea 05-21-2007, 10:42 PM I could personally care less about what Clinton said about Vick and the legal issues. As long as Clinton isn't breaking laws, I don't care. As long as he's not in danger of getting suspended, I really don't give a damn about what his opinion is of dog fighting. I love dogs, however, I don't care about dog fighting. I think it's brutal, but I don't (oddly) have that much of a problem with it. It may be because I have had much larger problems than Michael Vick alledgedly fighting dogs to worry about.
Schneed10 05-21-2007, 10:47 PM I'm pretty disappointed in Portis for his comments here, mainly because it hits on a personal note because I'm such a dog lover. But in the end, he's not in trouble with the law and consequently will have no impact on the 'Skins in 2007.
I think it's OK that kids, or anyone, look to athletes as role models. But it's important that you teach your kids that when an athlete says something like this, that your child should stop and think about it, and form their own opinion. Have the conversation, so Johnny, do you think dogfighting is OK? Do you think it's OK to see doggies get hurt? Does it make it OK just because Clinton Portis said it's OK? Can you still enjoy watching Clinton Portis play football without agreeing with him about hurting dogs?
And that's the thing. Kids just need to be able to separate what athletes say from what they do. You can teach your kids that.

Lady Brave 05-21-2007, 10:53 PM Clinton Portis Statement (http://www.redskins.com/news/newsDetail.jsp?id=26335)
The following is a statement from Redskins running back Clinton Portis regarding recent comments he made to a Norfolk, Va., television station.
"In the recent interview I gave concerning dogfighting, I want to make it clear I do not take part in dogfighting or condone dogfighting in any manner."
Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy doesn't it?
Edit: Pssst...CP. Technically you did condone it.
