Sick Vick
I know I’m behind the curve on this one, but I just had to weigh in. I’m the farthest thing from one of those animal-rights wackos as Rush calls them, but damn.
Assuming the allegations are true, how can Vick not know that running dogfights was immoral at best and, if betting was involved (and it surely was), illegal?
Answer: Because he’s a professional athlete who probably hasn’t heard the word “no” in years. I certainly don’t mean to categorize all profession athletes. There are many pro athletes who are level headed, are very generous, and highly intelligent. But some are just wrecks of human beings. The money and fame start to go to your head, and you think that the law doesn’t apply to you.
I lump people like this in with Paris, Nicole and Lohan. I have great sympathy for the dogs that are tortured in these fights, but I have very little sympathy for moronic celebrities.
Of course, Vick is innocent until proven guilty, and while I have very little faith in the justice system today, I’m willing to let the judicial system run its course before I condemn him.
