[edit] Dog Fighting

I'm unsure why there is such a push to include the poorly-written, lengthy dog-fighting section here. McClellan was a boxer; that's what he's primarily known for. To include a section on his dog-fighting with a variety of trivial details puts too much emphasis on this relatively meaningless part of his life. If people think it should be mentioned, fine, I guess, but I think giving it any emphasis over one line is ridiculous. The links are in the article if someone cares to read more about this facet of his life.MKil (talk) 21:41, 15 February 2008 (UTC)MKil

I think even the remaining line is ridiculously out of place, I'm going to remove the section. Franknotes (talk) 22:43, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
