The Vick Situation
Hello internet, I know the NBA playoffs are going on and my Lakers won last night, (YES!!!)I have to discuss Micheal Vick. I am glad to see him reciving the home release and im happy for him. I wish him well but I really have to address the atmosphere around Vick. To me he seems to be headed on the right track so skeptics should lay off the man untill he proves otherwise. And not to beat a dead horse but I know he did wrong but he paid his debt to society and should get a chacne to get a job back in the NFL. As far as PETA and any other type of protesters: You have a right to an opinion and you can protest if you like. But dont go over board. There is a time to prove a point and be passonatie and a time when its too much and I hope they dont cross that line. And despite what you may hear on tv and radio I think some teams may not care about PETA protesting and just want a good player and a chance to win football games. I know his name is getting ran through the mud as far as him being a QB too but he did find a way to win as a mobile QB with not much pocket throwing ability. To me his life will be much more diffrent now: First it was common knowledge that Vick was not a show up early stay late guy, and now we see why. His focus now is his family and getting out of debt, so his best option is playing good on the field and getting a better contract. Also I know as a competitor he still wants to prove he is a QB like he did before he went to prior to prison. And lastley I know that he did wrong and he deserved to be punished but to people who play madden (Vick was the 04 coverman)and the Vick experience commercial, the jersey sells (I even took seniror pictures in a Vick jersey) and the fact he was the Peyton Manning for the black community its been a loooooooooooong fall from grace. I'm rooting for him and hope he uses his second chance well cause there were so many young black children that looked up to him and he let himself and those followers down. But if he can come back and succed at most importantley life and then football, THAT WILL BE THE GREATEST COMEBACK STORY OF ALL TIME!
