This story is really incredible. Sportscaster Paul Zeise said:

“It’s really a sad day in this country when somehow…Michael Vick would have been better off raping a woman if you look at the outcry of what happened. Had he done that, he probably would have been suspended for four games and he’d be back on the field.”

Now, since you're capable of using out a mouse, I'm assuming you're smart enough to figure out that the guy was saying that rape is worse than dog-fighting and that yet, in our crazy world, the guy who's accused of rape, like Kobe, gets a lighter pre-trial punishment and less anger directed towards than the guy who raises dogs to fight, like Vick.

The incredible thing is that the sportscaster apologized and the paper issued this statement:

Zeise's “insensitive and offensive” remarks “do not represent the view of the Post-Gazette.”

Insensitive to whom? Dogs?
