In response to the recent news coverage of football player Ray Rice beating his girlfriend: She had a choice to either leave him or report him.
What choice did those dogs that Michael Vick tortured have? Could they speak up? No. If they couldn’t fight, they got rid of them.
These abusers should be barred from the National Football League. Any person who abuses another person or animal should be barred from any professional sport.
