When Qyntel Woods entered the league, there was hype that he would be the next Tracy McGrady. Well he ended up stinking up the joint, which is a good thing because he was in to dog fighting.
Imagine if someone the caliber of T-Mac was caught up in this, the backlash would be even bigger than it is against Michael Vick and the NFL. The NBA already has the problem of a thuggish image among the public, this would only compound the problem.
When you think about it, if the ref gambling scandel was in the NFL and the dog fighting scandel in the NBA, both leagues would take worse public relations hits than they already are. A game fixing scandel in the NFL would be more harmful than it is to the NBA because a lot more people bet on the NFL than they do on the NBA. In fact, only hardcore gamblers bet big dollar amounts on regular season NBA games, whereas the casual fan bets money on the NFL.
The truth of the matter is that both leagues are lucky not to have each other's problem.
