Down with Vick
I don’t know if any of you have been following the Micheal Vick case. For those that don’t know a few months ago it was alleged that Vick was running a dog fighting “business” or whatever you want to call it. Well yesterday he was indited on dog fighting charges. I won’t post any links to what I read yesterday partially because I can’t find them right now and because it’s pretty gruesome what goes on at these places. Especially with what Vick allegedly did. There’s no excuse for that.
So my question is this: When will the public and the NFL (or any sports league that has a bunch of “thugs/criminals”) wake up and do something about these people? Most of the athletes get off with little more than a slap on the wrist and most, not all, go back to their previous ways. It’s time to do something about these jokers. These are who kids are looking up to today. Thanksfully in the NBA and the NFL there are a few players that keep their noses out of trouble. Lets look at it this way. If a lawyer or a judge or any high standing community member was into dog fighting would they still hold that job after the charges came out? My guess would be no they wouldn’t. Or if they did, they would not be in the same position of influence.
I doubt this little rant will do any good, but for me personally I’m sick of it. I think it should be one strike and your out with some of these guys. Vick would be a great person to start with.
