And Seattle Seahawks: you’re terrific for donating the towels. A very kind gesture. It does not go unnoticed.

It would open with a big burly hulking football player. The camera is on his face and he says:

“Sometimes people look at me and assume I’m a brute. I’m a big guy — all muscle. If you saw me behind you in a dark alley, you might fear for your life.

But looks can be deceiving, and I’m really a gentle, well mannered guy — ask my wife.

And so is Paco.” [Or, insert your favorite name . . . ]

[Camera pans out to show football player sitting in armchair with a pit bull at his feet]

“Yeh, sure, when we’re playing ball, that muscle comes in handy. But we know how and when to use it.

As for dog fighting — I want no part of it, and if I find out one of my team mates is involved in it, I’m turning him in. It’s cruel and barbaric . . . and I wasn’t raised like that.

Neither was Paco.

The American Pit Bull Terrier breed has a history as beloved family pet. In responsible hands, they become wonderful, loyal and trustworthy companions, like Paco is. But in the wrong hands — when they are treated cruelly and visciously, starved and beaten, and forced to fight for their lives — just like any other large dog — they can become dangerous.

That’s why it’s important to ban the deed, not the breed.

Take it from a couple of big softies, dog fighting is a serious crime. It makes victims out of innocent animals, and warps the values of our young people, so that they too, become a threat to society.”

[Close the ad with a pitch to donate to an anti-dogfighting campaign, breed rescue/rehab, ban the deed/not the breed group, etc.]
