Today I was reading a story about MIchael Vick. The Article was basically saying that it looks as if he could miss the season this year amidst the allegations of the dog fighting. This is sad just another young black man being used up and thrown away by this country's ills. My gripe here is the simple fact that the Humane society had started hearing mike name attached to dog fighting back in 2004. Mind you that this is the season that Vick almost lead his team to the Superbowl and he was one of the biggest draws in the NFL. However the Humane society alleges that thsy didn't have enough evidence to pursue in the matter. Now all of a sudden 3 years later after the rise of Vince Young and Reggie Bush, (the new faces of the NFL) they have everything they need to tear down the Vick Experience. To me this is all about timing.
Being a conspiracy theorist I honestly think this is simple a matter of Vick out living his usefulness and no longer being of importance to those individuals with the money. The commissioner Mr. Goddell has order mike to stay away from practice and camp until the league can look into the situation closely. Please understand that Mike has not been tried or found guilty of anything at this time, but yet he is being punished. There have been guys tied to shockingly more serious allegations than this but yet they where allowed to play until they where found guilty. What I really would like to know is if he is found not guilty of all charges how will the league repay him for throwing him to the wolves and treating him like a convict?
I believe it is time for parents and athletes alike to start looking closely at this issue. How much longer are we going to get on the Auction Block and sale ourselves until we are deemed unnecessary or better yet let in a state of waste where as we can not walk up and down steps and no one cares to help. This is as old as time itself as long as we keep affixing a price to our foreheads we will continue to be treated like livestock.
Now as far as my personal views on this matter go. Hell it is a dog. I am not a pet lover but damn If Vick was holding bum fights in his front yard and airing them on the internet he would more than likely be in less trouble. Those people kill me running around fighting for the rights of animals. wait a minute lets think about that statement the rights of animals? Rights are a man made idea not anything set down by the higher being . So how is it that these rights are granted to animals. If a coyote was found in your backyard and you shot it would anyone come running, no. but if your neighbor comes into your backyard and you shoot him now you have to answer up. The difference is clear. The life of an animal is worth less than the life of a person and that is the truth of it. But yet these people run around trying to tell you differently and now they want to ruin a persons life over it. I say to Hell with them.
Umm I lost my focus...I can't remember where I was going with this so I guess I'll just shut up.
