Quarterback Michael Vick of the Atlanta Falcons was indicted by a grand jury for involvement in dog fighting in Virginia.
By HANK KURZ Jr. | AP Sports WriterRICHMOND, Va. - Michael Vick was due in federal court Thursday to start a legal process that jeopardizes not only his career, but also his freedom. The Atlanta Falcons quarterback was expected to appear at a bond hearing and enter a plea on dogfighting conspiracy charges.
Vick is accused with three others of conspiracy involving competitive dogfighting, procuring and training pit bulls for fighting, and conducting the enterprise across state lines. Federal prosecutors allege the operation -- known as Bad Newz Kennels -- operated on Vick's property in rural Surry County.
The grisly allegations detailed in an 18-page indictment sparked protests by animal rights groups at the headquarters of the NFL and the Falcons, and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has barred Vick from training camp while the league investigates.

The cruelty that some folks can inflict on others, human and non-human, sickening to me. How can somebody knowingly inflict pain and even death on another creature for the sole purpose of entertainment? It is beyond me.
