Who gives a rats what race the involved are! Does this moron really believe that these two cases are the same and should be reacted to the same?!? Dog fighting?...hiding money?...hmmm...Which is more outrageous?...<BR/><BR/>Oh wait...where talking about Krapitz aren't we? Well that explains everthing!

Even with Helio's exposure thanks to <I>Dancing With the Stars,</I> I think it's easy to say that the NFL is at least 20 times more popular than the IRL. <BR/><BR/>Not to mention that the Helio story broke at one of the busiest times of the year in terms of sports. The sporting world has the NFL, college football, the Major League Baseball playoffs, NASCAR, the opening of NBA training camps, and even the beginning of the NHL regular season all happening right now. No wonder the Helio story isn't getting much air time--there isn't any left!<BR/><BR/>Contrast this to when Vick was indicted, which was mid-July 2007. Major League Baseball was just coming off its All-Star Break. Other than NASCAR and the IRL, there was very little happening in sports at the time.<BR/><BR/>You'd think Kravitz would have been able to discern this, since he's a SPORTS columnist and all, but that's too much to ask.Slut Bunwallahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09131964185325032127noreply@blogger.com
