Joey Porter defends Vick

"Whether timely or not, Dolphins linebacker Joey Porter never manages to have a dull opinion about anything these days.
The latest installment? On Thursday, Porter offered his take on former Falcons quarterback Michael Vick, who is currently imprisoned for bankrolling a dogfighting ring in Virginia.
Vick, who is scheduled for release in July following a 23-month sentence, reportedly has attorneys who believe he will be reinstated to play in the NFL once he has fulfilled that time. When asked if Vick deserves to play again, Porter stood behind the embattled quarterback.
''He's already been punished enough,'' Porter said. ``They gave him his penalty, and he's paying his penalty. What else should they do to him now?''
Porter, an owner of two pit bulls himself, said he doesn't understand why people are so quick to condemn Vick. Porter contends those same people who are against Vick don't often like pit bulls anyway.
''That's the funny thing about it,'' Porter said. ``If you want to get back on that topic, I've got pit bulls and I've got to put them under a different breed just to travel. You can't even fly pit bulls anywhere."

I agree, how does Vick so much sh*t for killing animals that 90% of people would glad to see dead?

Porter says stupid things sometimes, but I kind of agree with him this time. He's doing his time but it seems some people would only be pleased if he got a life sentence and had the key thrown away.

1 - A lot of people had a certain dislike for Vick even before he got into any legal troubles. Don't know what motivated it to be honest.
2 - People get really sensitive when animals are involved (even more so than if it had to do with people).
