 Are you ready for some football!?
Yes, I know…perhaps only four of you reading this care at all. But you gotta admit these guys are HOT.
While I could wax on about said hotness for pages, let’s overlook the obvious and get to some troubling business at hand: Michael Vick.
Here comes scandal. Just as football’s pre-season is about to get underway, Vick gets in trouble with the law. And I’m talking capital “T” kind of trouble.
And this is a star player, not some second-string has-been or nobody.
For those of you unfamiliar, he is the quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons. He’s very good at his job. He’s handsome. He’s often well-spoken. He’s a star—some might even say a national hero (at least by football standards).
But he’s also either very cruel and vicious, OR just not very bright. My guess is some combination of both. He’s currently facing charges on DOGFIGHTING. Yes, dogfighting. He’s pleaded not guilty, and I’m a true believer in “innocent until proven guilty” and all that, but come on.
Vick and three of his friends, (who also pleaded not guilty) stand accused of training and breeding pitbulls for competitive dogfighting. There is prison time involved, and what we might consider considerable fines – but with Vick’s salary, these fines will barely nick the skin.
Here’s a man making millions a year, yet the best pastime he can find for himself in the off-season is raising and breeding dogs to fight each other to the death.
One of the most disturbing tidbits in all this horrific ordeal is that these GROWN MEN allegedly killed dogs that they considered not up to par, by torture, electrocution, hanging, and drowning—among other measures.
Barbaric. Where’s the sport in this? This sports “star” should be ashamed his name is even mentioned in context of such brutality.
Question is, will these charges affect his career in the NFL?
