Why? How the fuck do you kick a living creature to death? Why even kick a dog? My dog would be sad. This is crazy.

What happened here? Maybe being a idolized, privileged, spoiled member of the NFL taught him another lesson?

Every once and again, I question my decision to have stopped watching pro football after Vick was reinstated. Lately, with the spousal assault cases and now this, those questions become much, much fewer.

During the 2014 NFL Scouting Combine, Shembo admitted that as a Notre Dame student in 2010, he was accused of sexual battery against Lizzy Seeberg, a female student at nearby Saint Mary's College who later committed suicide, and said that he is innocent of the accusation.[6] Seeberg's father responded by claiming that Notre Dame was negligent in investigating Seeberg's accusation for fear of outing Shembo.[7]
