Mr. Marchman:
I am neither an animal rights advocate nor someone who has much sympathy for drunk drivers, but I cannot understand your equivocating over which is the bigger outrage. It is clear that both dog and cock fighting are sadistic and evil. Anyone who engages in these activities makes a conscious choice to do so for their own narcissistic desires. At least the same cannot be said of Mr. LaRussa's activities, for he could have killed himself , as well. Just because Mr. Martinez is a professional athlete does not mean that he should be let off the hook. If he is embraced by Mets fans , of whom I am one, instead of shamed, by being resoundly booed or people not showing up to see him pitch, this will be an outrage on all of us. I am almost positive that the former will take place.
