I understand him and Plaxico are close, but I don't think he should've said anything about this situation.FanNation.com said:Always outspoken Dolphins linebacker Joey Porter ended his two-week media embargo by coming to the defense of his former Steelers teammate Plaxico Burress, saying professional athletes have a right to own and bear arms. "Until you've been in a situation where you've been robbed at gun point, or you've had a gun waived in your face, or been car jacked, you really don't know what it feels like," Porter said. Porter, a victim of a shooting outside a Denver nightclub five years ago, admitted he's a gun owner, and said he's just one of many NFL players who feel they need to have a firearm to defend themselves and their families. Porter said his gun is registered in California but not Florida.
The whole interview was on ESPN's First Take this morning.. It'll probably be on SportsCenter for those who haven't seen it.
