Human's can make the choice. Dog's can't.

Boy you're a piece of work. For one thing and let me make this as clear to you as I can.
The footballer may seem dumb to some but he has a choice. He has a mind of his own, can think for himself. He enjoys the sport, has trained (pro football) for it most of his life, it's not a fight to the death, and it's integrated into our society.
Dogs on the other hand are dumb (can't speak) animals and couldn't tell you that 'hey this ain't right, I don't have anything against ole 'Hercules', 'I don't want to fight him'. Dogs are trained, conditioned to act and behave in the manner they do by those who feed them. Instinct plays a very little part here because these dogs are forced into each others own little world that they feel has to be protected. The dog doesn't feel competition, strive for it, it only knows there is either a bone for it at the end or it dies.They don't think for themselves (not while they are controlled). Dog fights as well as kock (misspelled because Yahoo doesn't understand context, probably been out sourced to India) fights are illegal, they where illegal before you where born. Most Americans don't care for the atrocity's and it's not an integral part of our society.
Your going to get a lot of grief over this post, I hope you're ready for it.

The analogy you are trying to make is flawed. Football is not to humans as dogfighting is to dogs.
A better, more accurate analogy is: Gladiator sports is to humans as dog fighting is to dogs.
In the gladiator arena: humans are thrown into pits to fight to the death. Bets are made on which human will win. Afterwards, the humans are taken back to their cages to wait for the next fight (to the death). Eventually they will die in the gladiator arena.
Gladiator fighting is also illegal.
Boxing - football etc (officially licensed sports) have safety structures, rules and are not cruel fights to the death. Sorry - but these are nothing like dog fighting.
oops - your ignorance is showing.

1. Are you an idiot?
2. How is football inhumane? There are ways to protect yourself, such as the helmet, pads, etc.
Dogs don't have anything to protect themselves with.
3. Even if some consider Football inhumane, interview the Football payers and see if one of them HATES their job. NONE will say, because they all love what they do, unlike Dogs who are FORCED to fight out of hunger.

If football were guys out there mauling each other fighting to the death, you might have a point. Sure there is an occasional injury, but that goes with any sport, even ones as innocent as figure skating.

I am sorry but, this is ridiculous. Those humans CHOOSE to play football and box just as I and many others have CHOSE to fight MMA or wrestle. Furthermore those humans who CHOOSE to do as such are typically paid very well.
Dogs don’t get to CHOOSE. The difference is in the CHOICE.

No one forces humans to fight or play sports. Animals do not have choices. Big difference here.

These sports you listed are not a fight to the death and no one is forced to do them. Comparing dog fighting to sports is just ludicrous.
