I read that same article that
envisionary333 posted on CNN.com and what really ticks me off is the whole "hip-hop culture put Vick in this bind". What a load of crap. Vick put HIMSELF in this bind. He is NOT a victim. I get so tired of the media playing the blame game with these irresponsible celebrities/athletes. These are GROWN PEOPLE who need to take responsibility for their own actions and STOP pointing the finger at everyone and everything else.
Vick is a sick person and should NOT be paid by the NFL or Atlanta Falcons while on trial. On article posted in this thread said that while he was told not to report to training camp, he would not lose the pay he would receive. Unacceptable. He should not be rewarded for being twisted and cruel.
It also sickens me that the media plays into the negative pit bull image. While reporting on this issue, instead of showing dogfights in the background, they should be showing TRUE information about the pit bull breed - that these are lovable, intelligent dogs. Why can they not show all the pit bulls in history that have done wonderful, heroic things and enlighten people instead of playing into the fear?
I just really don't understand this world anymore.
