I find it disgusting, disturbing and well...very poor
journalism to have highlighted Michael Vick and his obscene and undeserving
salary from the Eagles.
He is a cruel and heartless convicted animal
abuser/murderer. Nothing that has come out of his mouth since his release from
incarceration has been sincere or apologetic about what he did and allowed to
happen on his property.
Each statement has been put together by his management all
for the sake of endorsements.
Dog fighting is cruel, violent and barbaric. They forced
dogs to tear apart smaller "bait dogs" during training, then forced
them to maul each other for amusement and monetary gain.
When a dog loses or is no longer in prime condition, that
animal is then killed.
People like Vick are the reason that Pit Bulls are feared, misjudged
and banned.
It's not the Pit Bull that is dangerous and should be
feared, but the so-called Humans that raise and train them.
Even if you look aside from what Vick has done, another huge
issue arises.
In this time of economic
strife, when unemployment is facing so many and people are losing homes and
having financial difficulties, I think it's a travesty that he is being paid
that obscene amount of money.
What has this man accomplished to earn so much? Because he can play a sport?
The mega-salaries should be awarded to school teachers who
help mold our children, the future of our country. To the police officers,
firefighters and armed forces that risk their lives every day to serve and
protect us all.
Why should someone that has been convicted of a crime (and
accused of many others), be rewarded a kings ransom because his can catch or
throw a ball?
And people wonder why our world is in the shape it's in....
