Oh, I "get it."
The premise is that athletes have an aura of scarcely-contained primitive male drives, and the near passing of attractive females can at any moment tear the thin veneer of civilization and loose them, to the sometimes not-quite-so-unwanted-peril of the.said female.
They are just so much man, that these things happen and they can't help themselves. Instinct. Drive. Alpha male gets his selection of the females.
But with dogfighting, our "noble savage" now looks like a conniving con man, a gangster. He has been scheming, he has used his brain (his WHAT????) for profit, instead of his brawn. He has stepped outside of his stereotype, and non-conformists make others uncomfortable. Crucify him.
That's my take of why this is being treated as it it.
