Portis Apologizes For Dog Fighting Comment

[Hog's Breath]

FOX Sports on MSN - NFL - NFL off-season roundup

Seems genuine to me. Glad to see it, too. Don't want the Skins to become a thug life team, yo!

I personally think people overreacted, because Portis is Portis. He says stuff. Anyways good thing he came out and said that though.

Yay, now we can focus on the rest of the BS the offseason brings! When in the hell is the season going to start? I am tired of this.

I am kicking the next stupid dog that I see. This whole thing is idiotic and the fact that this is news pisses me off.

Are we in the NFC east or a goddamn tupperware party? The entire country needs to grow a pair.

I love Snoopy, Odie, Marmaduke, etc. as much as the next guy but why should Portis get more grief for these comments than this comment Devil Rays OF Elijah Dukes made to his wife

"Hey, dawg. It's on, dawg. You dead, dawg. I ain't even bulls-------. Your kids too, dawg. It don't even matter to me who is in the car with you. N-----, all I know is, n-----, when I see your m-----f------- a-- riding, dawg, it's on. As a matter of fact, I'm coming to your m-----f------ house."

You think Daseal is going to be cool with you encroaching on his puppy kicking domain?

If the mutt has a Cowboys sweater on I will choke it with it's leash! I may punt it off the side of my foot like Frosty in the fourth quarter.

I highly doubt CP's comments were going to make the Skins a thug team. Everyone knows how CP is and how he likes to joke around w/ the media. Everyone needed to just freakin chill the hell out.

Fair point SS, what Dukes said is obviously worse, but I don't necessarily agree that just because someone said something more egregious we should pay less attention to the dog fighting issue. Both people should be condemned. Portis deserved the grief he caught, now he's apologized and seems genuinely contrite, so now let's round up the regulators and ride on Elijah.

I don't know. He seemed pretty serious when he made the intial remarks.

Now, if he had been wearing a cape, rainbow colored wig, and a ginormous pair of sunglasses, then maybe he would have been joking.

Whatever who gives a shit? If anybody says something negative about a dog on this site it will not be public knowledge by tommorrow morning joking or not. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and freedom of speech. The United States seriously needs to consider changing its name to The United States of the easily offended. Stop crying just because somebody says something that you don't like!

But it's not like he was saying The Departed shouldn't have won the Oscar, he was defending a felony. And freedom of speech just means that you can't go to jail for what you say, it has nothing to do with how people react to your words. Of course he is entitled to his opinion just as I am entitled to be disgusted with it.

You're right, he is entitled to say what he wants. The thing that bothered me the most is that it came from one of our players.

He may be a Redskin, but he is still an individual. He was not representing the organization when he made those remarks.

Exactly my point. You don't have to like it, but you have to respect his rights.
