Yes, it would have. Damn this overly polite society we live in today; this is NOT a "black thing." Stop letting the extremists cloud your vision. What Vick did is disgusting, and illegal, no matter what the color of his skin or his ethnic origins.
However, I don't think Jesse Jackson and Sharpton would come running to Favre's rescue. Also, I'm not sure that a fellow athlete would defend Favre by saying dog fighting and murdering the dogs is "no worse than deer hunting."
Also, I wouldn't count on Vick being made anyone's ***** in prison; he's a rather large individual and I'm sure he can throw em' when he has to. Add to that, that he's a sports star, and Bubba might be *his* *****. Oh well.
