Supporters dwindling, teammates distancing, friends rolling for the feds, ownership seemingly ready to move on without him, league seemingly ready to exile him, justice system ready to incarcerate him -- it's been a stunning study in self-sabotage.
It's a stunning commentary on how people are numbed to the death of a human, aka the perception of a murderer, but won't tolerate cruelty imposed on what is considered a pet.
The pet industry is $41 billion in annual sales in America alone.

Numbed to the death of an adult.
My reaction to this is the same as to the cruelty towrds a child. It is someone who cannot defend themselves against those that should know better.
