You know, I hadn't really followed the story of Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick and the investigation of a dogfighting operation on his property very closely. Having now read the gruesome details of the charges against him, I wish I were still ignorant about it. He's innocent until proven guilty, but if he is proven guilty, I hope he's punished severely. And I agree with 'stina - his former backup QB had better not be involved.
Some analysis of the legal woes awaiting Vick is here. I need to stop reading this now, before I get ill.
Posted by Charles Kuffner on July 18, 2007 to Other sportsThe case is based on the facts. If he is guilty, so be it, if not guilty, leave the man alone. I do not condone cruelty to animals, and you are right some of the allegations are sick. However, the type of attention that this case is getting is ridiculous. I want to see more coverage and attention given to rapists, child abductors, and murderers. So many times we hold up our athletes to a different standard of morality, when they should be held to a lower standard. We should expect some of the situations or perdicaments they fall in. They are taught to go out every week on the field, and try to knock the crap out of each other for millions of dollars. Of course they should know better.
