Michael Vick

What in the hell is this guy thinking? And to beat all, the head of the NAACP in Atlanta openly stated to Foxnews that he did not see an issue with Mr. Vick being reinstated to the NFL after he done his time and even "suggested" that this happen. Wow!! Are we condoning what we do in the publics eyes? Seems as we are. What I don't understand is this. Here is a man that works as a professional football player making millions and then he has to "supplement" his income by fighting dogs and betting on dogs. Not only is the cruel and in-humane but it's against the law. Then, we have to throw in the transporting across state lines charge. I think that right now, Mr. Vick needs to concentrate on his charges and telling the truth before he starts thinking about coming back to the NFL. I can tell you right now, if the NFL lets him come back in any capacity other than a waterboy, I'll be very disappointed. What kind of message does this send to the little guys playing backyard football and playing in their school stadiums every weekend? You can play football, make big money and oh, by the way little fellar, you can fight your PitBull on your off time and make even more money.

I just don't understand why there are so many that seem to think that since he grew up in a poverty stricken culture, that he doesn't know that dog fighting and cruelty to animals is wrong. Unless he was raised in a cave with no contact with anyone, including the media and his college professors, how can this be true? Of course, he has plead guilty now and admitted to finding religion but lets see if he comes out on top in the long run. I hope that NFL sticks to their guns and ARENA football doesn't snap him up for the publicity.
