mike vick... WE are just as guilty as he is

Mike Vick was found guilty of one of the most heinous crimes ever as he dismembered and slaughtered man's best friend. Admitted, he did not kill any human beings, but he did end the lives of Fido and Lassie still (ok he killed pits not retrievers or whatever those dogs were). Honestly though, who are we to judge Mr. Vick? The general public is just as guilty as Vick when we say this guy deserves a second chance. Get the fuck out of here! Nobody deserves anything in this world and to say the opposite is complete and utter bullshit. Think about all the analysts, coaches, and players alike who all say Vick deserves a second chance. Did any of them deserve a shot at playing/coaching/analyzing in the NFL? NO! They all did it with hard work, much like how Vick earned his right by performing in college and in the pros. Did he deserve anything? NO! On one side note before I break this down thoroughly, I find it odd that mostly the black coaches, players, and analysts alike think this is such a great concept for this man to get a shot at playing again whereas mostly the same positioned white people are somewhat skeptical. Needless to say I am no racist. it is just an interesting tidbit that is nearly impossible to not notice.

So how is the entire public guilty you ask? We are all falling for the trap that Vick is setting by having us give him our pty, our sympathy, and our passing of judgment due to the fact we think he is contrite in his apology. GET SERIOUS PEOPLE! The only reason he seems saddened by the discovery of a dark secret in Vick's private life is the fact that he lost everything both financially and personally as his fan base and bank account both diminished greatly. What did the contrite Vick do before going to prison? Did he not go out and buy a new car just to take the ride to prison? Yes I believe so. Contrite that you fools who buy into this act.

The difference between Donte Stallworth and Mike Vick's cases other than the obvious one involving humans and the other involving animals is simple - Stallworth is truly contrite and somewhat noble in his downfall. Vick is just parading through the motions of an apologetic and sincere man because he lost his position at the zenith of an amazing and stellar career. Stallworth struck a human inadvertently although he was under the influence of alcohol and marijuana. When Stallworth immediately came to the harsh realization of what just happened, he immediately called emergency services and submitted willingly to all tests given by the authorities. When Vick was first discovered as news stations reported the rumor of a digfighting ring that Vick participated in, let alone funded, Vick went on the record by saying he was in no way involved and it was just come of his cousins that were involved. Ummmm yeah. Contrite that. Then maybe a week or so later when it was discovered the grisly and brutal details of the dogfighting ring Vick came on and admitted he was involved in everything that was revealed. So if the man was capable of lying when he was on top of the world with everything to lose, what makes you people think he would not lie when he is now at the bottom with nothing to lose? Let me tell you as all realists know, when the chips are down a man will do whatever a man has to do.

Now by no means am I saying Vick should not get a chance to play football again, I am simply saying he does not deserve it. I could care less what a team executive does. The NFL is obviously a place where morals go out the window, so more power to Mr. Vick if he can get paid again for his football services. Just be aware that if Vick does anything to the tune of dogfighting again or gets in any sort of trouble, the entire world would be shocked, but not me. The man does not deserve anything. He has NOT paid his dues just because he went to prison and lost all his money. The fact still remains he tried to cover it all up in the beginning with his lies. His apology is fraud and so are all you people who agree with Vick. But like I said, don't get me wrong about all this. I just don't want you to get Vick wrong about all this and assume he means well because he made a public apology. Think about it folks. Let's hope for the best on the field with Vick, but let's also try to hope for the absolute best off it as well.
