Michael Vick

People forget that this guy was on top of the world about 4 years ago all the young people in the US wanted to be just like him. He was on the cover of Madden had his own shoes, which i had, had the top selling jersey, and had a commercial called the 'Michael Vick Experience' resembling a roller coaster. So now he is casted out as the devil becuase he funded an operation that he was brought up upon, he states in the 60 minutes interview that at the age of 8 his older family members were participating in watching a dog fight and the cop drove by the scene got out of the car and then got back in the car like it was nothing...that blows my mind..this isnt just about Michael Vick theres are over 200,000 operations of dog fighting in US and the main problem is that fact the law does not seek out finding and punishing these activities. Regardless of what you think of Vick as a player or person he rightfully deserves a second chance, becuase if we all grew up in the south, perhaps we would be engaging in that kind of activity. Im not supporting dog fighting, i love dogs but dont like cats haha anyways he served his time and is turning his negative actions into positive ones in becoming the poster boy for promoting anti-dog fighting in the southern areas. So as Vick killed around 80 dogs he may have just saved hundreds if he uses his position in the media to stop this horrific activities.
