Where's the NAACP now, huh? They and that opportunistic racist unRev. Jackson and Sharpton can go pound sand.

I just have to say something about this. First of all I have been a member of the NAACP for years. The NAACP has as much right at PETA or any other organization to speak out on the Vick situation. And it was also the local Atlanta chapter that had a press conference about a week ago and not the national organization. For your information Jackson and Sharpton have no direct affiliation with the NAACP and they run organizations completely different from the NAACP. And all the local NAACP wanted everyone to let the system play out before jumping to conclusions. Remember Atlanta is a largely African-American city and if the Falcons do anything with Vick that community might turn on them.
Secondly I always love how people can always find fault in certain people but not in others. The Duke case was not the only case in our country where players of a university were accused of something to only have the charges dropped. If the players were the football team and the composition of the players were from a poorer or more intercity background, those kids would have gone to trial at the very least and there would be no lawyer being disbarred. I know a lawyer that is the State's Attorney in my back yard over that was in charge during a murder case that were a conviction was over turned and the police and the lawyers were accused of some misconduct. Then this lawyer even ran for Governor and is still in his State's Attorney role today. I guess if you change the "players" then our outrage drastically changes.
