One more law that can heavily punish someone who does not even know the law exists.

So we would see the same ridiculous issue with a seeing eye dog? Any other service dog?

Because being "amped up" for a football game means you go yell at animals
If you've ever seen football players exit the locker room and come out of the tunnel you'd know that they are often yelling at just about anything and everything.

It is stupid. It's a stupid reaction to a stupid action. Never said it wasn't. My beef is with people trying to victimize the football player.
The chances of this actually resulting in a charge, much less any jail time, are remote at best. A jackass did a jackass thing, and caused a jackass reaction.

Instead of worrying about whether or not it should be a felony, perhaps we should be concerned with why a professional athlete would behave in such a bizarre fashion toward a dog. If I was in charge of a team anyone acting like that would be immediately canned. Sports fans ought to demand better behavior from these overpaid athletes.

Another of my beefs. It used to be that if you got even a DUI you were done, star or not. Now you can kill dogs, beat women, DUI your ass off and someone will let you play.
