To clarify my earlier posts. I never said I thought MV should be banned from football because his crime involved football players, and I didn't liken a pedophile and a teaching career with a animal abuser and a football career because of the victim. I did it because of the defendant. Why? See below.

What I said, or at least meant, was that a animal abuser, like pedophilia is NOT about the crime, it is about the person. A pedophiliac (sic) is prohibited from being around children ever again because it is the type of crime that warrants such post-prison control. It is a crime from which people really don't 'recover'. It carries with it reporting guidelines, housing guidelines, etc. Few crimes carry that sort of post parole control. Though, some do. For instances, convicted felons, post parole, lose the right to carry a firearm, and vote. The government has seen it fit to continue to "burden" certain criminals and certain crimes with extra punishment. I think animal abuse should be one of them.

I think MV should be banned from the limelight, spotlight, etc. I think football teams that pick this person up should be shunned. The 'price' for such infamy will not be paid by my purse strings, thats for sure.

In the situation with a pedophile, and to continue on with Staci's well said post, do you want YOUR children taught be a 'reformed' pedophile? Do you want YOUR mother living next door to a rapist? Do you want YOUR dog cared for by MV? Do you want YOUR child to emulate MV? I know my answers.

To me, some crimes are those from which people simply do not recover. MV's crime is one of them. I think he should be shunned from polite society until the good Lord takes over the matter. I think the dogs deserve no less of a commitment. Think of all the money, fame and fortune they never saw.
