This will be short and sweet. Being that I am a native of Newport News, VA. I still have to speak on the Michael Vick issue. I will reiterate the fact that it is said no matter how good you are or great you may be if you are black well then it is all smoke and mirrors. The reason the Vick case bothers me so much is that simple fact that if the NFL didn't just recently acquire Reggie Bush and Vince Young, They would have continued to protect Vick from this mess. But seeing as how the NFL has it's new (dare I say it) Niggas it no longer needs the old one. Mike brought energy back to a game that was failing. He added a spark to a position that was becoming lack luster. Michael Vick reinvented the QB position and filled the seats no matter where he was playing. Although people probably will not admit it now they stormed to the stadiums to see the "Vick Experience" They could have cared less about what he did when he went home.
The saddest part to all of this is thea fact that he is not due to appear in Court until November but yet he is being treated as if he is guilty. Due Process my ass. This man has been sentenced and found guilty in the public court of opinion and those damn sick as people of PETA and the Humane Society have all but destroyed the man's career. At this time Nike has suspended it contract with Michael Vick and will not push any of his products until after the conclusion of the trial. Reebok has also stopped all sales of his jerseys. Not to mention that he has not been allowed to appear in training camp per King Goddell. All in all he will lose millions of dollars and that is not even taking into account lawyers fees.
Like I said guilty or not, I do not believe that the actions that he has been accused of warrant this kind of outcome. To destroy a mans lively hood over the treatment of domestic animals. Now I know that some will argue that point, but honestly we have Senators who have gotten away with murder, we have a VP who shot a man in the face and faced no charges. We have people everyday who commit crimes against other humans and never see the inside of a jail cell. Yet we will lynch M.Vick over the alleged treatment of Dogs, who's only purpose in life is to kill and fight. Yes that is all Pitt Bulls are for. That is why they are built the way they are, and that is why they have a lock jaw. Let's be honest here he wasn't accused of fighting poodles.
