Ex-Offender Vick = Eagles = Whatever

Aug 14, 2009 / Workforce / Trackback

I’m not a foot­ball fan. I’m not against it either, I just don’t care for it. In fact, I’m not a fan of any sport where break­fast is steroids over easy. How­ever, my taste in sports isn’t really what this is about.

His crime, in my opin­ion, was hor­rific.  Per­son­ally, I’m not a Michael Vick fan. I don’t like him one bit. I am the founder of the first rec­og­nized ani­mal pro­tec­tion asso­ci­a­tion in Mex­ico. I do not sup­port harm to ani­mals or humans in any form — ever. Have you seen the peace sign on my avatar?

What this is about is an ex-offender who has been hired to work. His crime is not rel­e­vant to his posi­tion. Accord­ing to juris pru­dence he has paid his debt to soci­ety. His sen­tence, though very light in my own opin­ion was not set by me. The NFL obvi­ously doesn’t work like most of cor­po­rate Amer­ica in regard to dis­qual­i­fy­ing con­vic­tions. I also respect the law. Is the man never sup­posed to work again?

If Vick were a stock clerk in a store he wouldn’t be on the national nightly news. His career is pro foot­ball. Whatever…

I encour­age you, dear reader, to con­tribute to the Humane Soci­ety of Cozumel, The Human Soci­ety of the US, PETA or any ani­mal pro­tec­tion agency. I will love you for­ever if you do.

    He has had multiple earlier offenses for various things. He is a thug and should be banned from football. I bet he'll screw up again within 2 years.
  • What Michael Vick did was awful. And I agree, the man needs to work again, as do we all. I also think he should still be in prison for his horrific crimes, but he is a celebrity, so of course some rules just don't apply. But I think all of this publicity only helps him; which in my opinion is a bad thing. If any other athlete was traded to a different team, they'd announce it and people would talk a little, but then it would be over. Now, with all of the hype over him joining the Eagles, and over what he did, it just reinforces his behavior. Too many people focus on the negative. We need to be focusing on positive events. And while this is neutral to me, I think everyone just needs to let it be. It is taking up too much space in the paper, on blogs and twitter. We need to read more interesting things! (I'm also not a fan of football! ha)
