Clinton Portis defends Vick, offers to show you a dog fight

We've always liked Clinton Portis but his latest statements are reprehensible. In defending Michael Vick, Portis said that as long as the dogs were Vick's and the fights took place on his property, then it shouldn't be a concern to anyone.

Here's the video from WAVY-TV, a television station in Hampton Roads, Virginia. (The video is crap but that's what happens when people use Windows Media Player, the shittiest software on the planet.)

Chris Samuels is also defending Vick but he's taking the "innocent until proven guilty" route while Portis seems to think that dog fighting is totally justifiable and was unfazed when informed that it was a felony and offered to show the reporter a few back roads back in Mississippi if she wanted to see some dog fights. We wonder if Portis thinks that AJ Nicholson is just getting a bad rap -- all he did was smack up his woman on his property right?

Portis has succeeded in proving how ignorant he is by his comments. As Mark Twain once said, "It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt."
