For the people not in the know about Michael Vick to make a long story short. Former quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons who had signed a huge 100 million dollar contract, was a ring leader in illegal dog fighting down in VA, got caught served his time, lost all his money and is now the Eagles starting quarterback who is on a tear!! Most people love redemption stories and here you think we have one for the ages for everybody to rally behind but this is not the case.
People just can't get passed his past and it is a damn sad thing. I love animals as much as the next person but if you motherf*ckers don't chill out and let it go!! It is horrible what he and other people did to those dogs but f*ck them Pitbulls. What really slays me is the fact that people are outraged that the NFL are letting him play again. The man almost spent two years in jail, is 12 million dollars in debt, missed time away from his family and lost his job. He has paid his debt to society so why does he not deserve a chance to work again? So what this his chosen profession people can earn millions of dollars that is why he chose to be a football player and not a custodian. All this outrage over some dogs? Not liked he killed some people or has a proven pattern as a serial rapist like another NFL quarterback out there.
I recently read this commentary on why the NFL is wrong and how it send a message to society that he may be rewarded a new million dollar contract and the MVP trophy. From what I know the Most Valuable Player trophy is awarded for outstanding play on the field and not what they do off of it. I can't for the life of me understand why he is disappointed with the praise that is heaped upon Vick his spectacular season. Maybe, because that light in Vick's head has clicked and he is playing like everybody only dreamed and maybe because he is not on the field doing illegal things like killing dogs you d*ck, so there is no reason not to say "good damn job".
Just for the people who don't understand why he is allowed to play in the NFL because he committed that crime I look at it a little differently. For instance a pedophile should not be allowed to be around children, become a teach, camp counselor etc. A computer hacker should not be allowed to be on a computer unsupervised. A dog murderer should not allowed to be a veterinarian but you can be my franchise quarterback any day of the week as long as you are playing like Michael Vick is!!
I somehow think I would lose less sleep with the dog killer than hmm I dunno the MAN killer!! Shout out to Mike Vick, it is still f*ck you Eagles for trading McNabb!!
Writer of the commentary and just cause you are behind a lot of this nonsense PETA!! I hope you all get stuck in the room with a dog fighter and a serial killer and you choose to be friends with the serial killers.

ReplyDeleteOJ what?
ReplyDeleteWell said B! You make a real strong point in stating that football is his PROFESSION, and is totally unrelated to the crime. Maybe the haters need to watch channels other than ESPN if they think he is over-praised. I doubt he would win a political election, but we're talking football, and he is a league MVP right now and rightfully so. The stats are ridiculous..
ReplyDeleteRegarding the section of society that refuses to forgive, I doubt there will be much that will change their opinions. Double standards definitely exist, though it's real hard to grasp how people preach forgiveness, redemption, and other pillars for being good, yet do the exact opposite when comfy and convenient. Theres no doubt that these same haters live in communities and co mingle with people who share these same views. THE MAN DID HIS TIME!! I say do you, but there comes a point when true colors come out, people just got to be able to recognize what they are really SAYING when they choose not to forgive in this case.
Yeah Stef, I believe people forget that this is a job just like working at a desk. Turn the freaking channel if you can't get down with the praises that are coming his way.
ReplyDeleteSometimes it does not matter if you do your time people want you to rot anyways
Word up... those clearskins are some damn assholes when a rack of their men either molest little kids or go to foreign countries to fuck asian women for 2 dollars but they worried bout sum damn dogs... FOH yo
ReplyDeleteBut that's wat they do.. try to tear the black man down b
ReplyDeletedef well said! truly is an unfair judgment especially because he did do his freaking time..is it really ok to punish & judge ppl for life now? and lmao @ Pizzle's comment about "Clearskins" lol
ReplyDeleteMan, it's good to finally see the Eagles play like they got some sense (tho that D still needs to tighten its azz up)
ReplyDeleteOn Vick though, I say if you get a second chance come out swinging. Wish Tiger'd do the same but that's another story.
Vick deserves everything he gets now...both POSITIVE and NEGATIVE. I'm all for redemption but that don't change the fact that you fvcked up in the 1st place and it's up to the viewer to decide what to forgive/forget. Doesn't matter if you're white or black in my book.
The Vick thing's just messed up. On the one hand, dude's black and fun to watch so he gets a pass in my book. On the other hand, killed dogs that didn't fight well by hanging or drowning them. That's just vicious man. And I get why ppl'd stay mad at him. The line though is in saying he's still psycho deep down.
Anywho, I'm rooting for him...I just won't get into it with someone who sees different.
Oh yea Pizzle...you've heard don't start no sh*t won't be no sh*t? right? Why make yourself a target like you don't now how to act? N*gga talking about he didn't know he was doing nothing wrong bashing a dog against a wall. Who says that?
