Portis Apologizes For Dog Fighting Comment

[Schneed10]

Well, he was serious when he made the remarks. If you read his apology in the post, he says "A couple of weeks ago, when I made those comments I didn't understand the seriousness behind it, I didn't know it would affect that many people, and didn't think what I said was that offensive. But after doing some research and seeing how serious people take this, I shouldn't have made the comments."

In other words, he didn't realize dogfighting was wrong when he made those comments. It shows how ignorant he is, and I find that sad.

But I respect the fact that he showed interest in reading up on the subject and educating himself. And that I admire him for. Sometimes people don't know stuff that they should, happens to all of us at some point. But the worst thing would be if he just ignored all the criticism and kept being an ass about it. He manned up, read more about it, and now recognizes it's a sensitive issue for people. End of story.

On to the real news buried within the text of the post article: his knee is looking better. That's rather awesome.
