I'm sure you've all heard about the whole Michael Vick thing. I'll admit, this is a sore spot with me. ( admittedly, prior to this, I had no idea who the guys was )
It's not just the dogs. ( though, it's quite a bit about the dogs ). The thing that fascinates/horrifies/mystifies me about it all is how football and the PR moves play into it.
Vick apologized today. When I first heard this on the news I though, "Well, I gotta give credit". Then he played the fucking Jesus card. People in trouble play the Jesus card for the same reasons they play the race card or sexual orientation card or gender card or whatever card. Because they know that anyone who yells "BULLSHIT!" runs the risk of looking like the antichrist/a bigot/a homophobe/a sexist/whatever.
And I call Bullshit.
He's saying exactly what his very expensive lawyers are telling him to say.
He apparently "found Jesus". Maybe Jesus was hiding underneath a dead dog?
The guy is a bullshit, wannabe gangster. ( what the FUCK is with every football player wanting to be a rapper, every rapper wanting to play football and both group's fascination with Scarface ? )
He tortured and killed animals who could not defend themselves and trained them to act against their natural instincts and hurt each other.
Will he serve a day in jail?
Probably not.
Will it hurt him financially in ANY way?
Most assuredly not.
Will he play football again?
Absolutely.
Is he really sorry for any of it?
I seriously, seriously doubt it. I think he's sorry he got caught and that's about it.
And, at the root of it, that's all the vast majority of the public gives a shit about. Because football is more important than tortured animals. Let's face it, in this country football is more important than most men's families, nevermind a few dead dogs.
I.
Just.
Don't.
Understand.

Let me preface this by saying that I m a football fan and you fucking know that.
Now, to answer your questions about whether or not anything will happen to Michael Vick, I think the only one you got wrong was the one financially. No one is really sure if Michael Vick will play football again. Almost every football and sports lawyer believes that he will be in jail for 2 or more years. This being said, the football team that he is currently not playing for will try to get back the 22 million dollars that he owes them for not playing. Since he probably spent that much on the fucking compound that he built, I doubt he has the money to pay them back.
This disgust me more than you know. :)
Oh and that was me by the way. Not that you hadn't probably already guessed. ----Aubs
P.s. I have alot more to say but I have class now. :P
