Is it me or has this whole Michael Vick thing been ridiculous from the start ? I mean the man happened to fund and watch dogs fight !!! People have done far worse than Vick and didn't have to face the media scrutiny and losses that he has had to endure. This country is based on so many contradictions its not even funny. We value so many things that in other societies just wouldn't matter. Correct me if I'm wrong but people go hunting all the time..right ? What's so much more cruel about watching dogs fight than shooting a deer going about its day to day business just for your enjoyment ? Or training horses to race or other animal act; they all equate animal cruelty and if your going to punish one form of animal cruelty, you should be consistent enough to punish all !!!!
And then on top of that, King Goodell(Comissioner Goodell) finds it fit to suspend the man for up to 6 games after he's been in prison for 23 months and has lost an insurmountable amount of money !!! Furthermore the media paints him to be a problem child such as a Pacman Jones, when he's only had one run in which stemmed from this case. They also seemed to have forgotten that he was one of the golden boys of the league and the face of a franchise, as they now depict him as a completely unskilled quarterback who can't play in the NFL. If anything, the NFL is more suited now for his style of play than it was before he was forced to leave. If you don't believe me, turn on a NFL tv program and listen for how many times you here the word WILDCAT !!!
This whole thing has been upsurd to me from day one and nothing recently has done much to change my opinion. Give your former golden child the opportunity to return to stardom, if he succeeds you'll look like a true genius, if he fails, he wouldn't be the first. Just one thing to remember for Vick, good play makes everyone forget any transgression alla Kobe Bryant, Ray Lewis etc
