There are a lot of parallels between the NFL and dog fighting. How many NFL fans care that the players' lives are cut short or worsened by the NFL experience?

I do.

And let me be the voice of the law. What he is doing is illegal. Whether or not we think it is moral, he should be punished for breaking the law.

NFL players get paid, and consent to being injured in the work they do.

Fighting dogs get starved, beaten, and tortured.

But not here in the US. Because we have something called "labor law."

Most fans care about that, based on people I've talked to.

And that's about the worst parallel I've ever heard. Maybe try slavery and dogfighting or something like that.

Another difference between NFL players and fighting dogs -

NFL players get (the best available) medical attention and disability benefits.

That's really not true. Once they're out of the league, the medical attention and benefits are pitiful.

And hopefully that all changes soon.

Guess they should take some of their earnings and save up for insurance, then.

Although I agree - this should be reformed.
