Right before football season would be GREAT!!! It will hit him where he'll hurt the most. He won't be able to do what he loves: play football. Also, write to any companies that endorse him or that he's a spokesperson for. I need to research them and if I find any, I'll get them to you. That will also hit him in the pocketbook. Honored to work with you guys! :) Wendy "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world - indeed it is the only thing that ever has!" ~~~ Margaret Meade ~~~ ----- Original Message ---- From: Melissa Lind <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: Wednesday, July 18, 2007 11:15:15 AM Subject: RE: OT: Severely OT, dog fights and NFL player Thanks Kat! I haven't been checking my PETA messages or the website lately, so I missed this one. I feel as though I am at least doing something however small. I too am having a really difficult time not wishing the worst on these barbarians. Yes, it's all about the image. They don't care what he's done--they only care how it's impacting them monetarily. Yuck. I hate professional sports even more now than I did before.

The fact that the officially released statement reads (in part) "We are disappointed that one of our players -- and therefore the Falcons -- is being presented to the public in a negative way, and we apologize to our fans and the community for that." Note - they are NOT apologizing for the actions or the dogfights, just that it is being presented in a negative way!!! I don't ususally wish bad things for anyone, but in this case I do hope he gets the maximum fine AND imprisonment - and then some!
