Max Kellerman On CNN: “If You Eat Pork,” Don’t Complain About Michael Vick

(By Glenn Davis, Mediaite) - Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick continued his unlikely dominance of {last] week’s news cycle [last Thursday], when TV pundits still found themselves with nothing better to talk about. The latest of those pundits to be brought on the air, faced with the unenviable task (especially when you don’t get enough time to do it) of voicing an opinion on this story that hasn’t been heard already: CNN’s Max Kellerman, who went on the network [last Thursday] to vehemently disagree with his friend Tucker Carlson’s now-infamous position on Vick…and advocate for pigs.

After saying he “would have crushed” Carlson in a debate on Vick back in the days when both worked on MSNBC (without mentioning MSNBC by name, of course), Kellerman (who also works as a sports commentator, hence being selected to comment on this “issue”) took a provocative stance on killing dogs vis-a-vis killing pigs:

“People like Tucker have this kind of an emotional reaction to harming dogs specifically because dogs were engineered for companionship – mainly because they didn’t grow large enough to be a cheap source of protein, and they don’t taste very good to us…pigs, on the other hand, do grow very large, do taste good to us, and therefore are a great cheap source of protein.”
