VICK - Whats the Big Deal?

A football player was involved in dog fighting. What’s the big deal? The details are gory and I don't agree with crulity on any level but what the hell. It's dog fighting! I must say that this maybe the height of hypocrisy. When most people cut into that juicy steak or bite into that juicy thick hamburger they must believe that the animal met its demise do to extremely harsh language. The truth is that the animal was brutally murdered. This is acceptable. I once saw a machine that kills chickens, cuts the heads off and removes its feathers in minutes. It must have killed hundreds a day. I mean if you look around you must agree that chickens really catch hell! Walk down any main street in the United States and you will find it scary how much chicken is offered. It's all acceptable." Vick was involved it dog fighting and now he will going to jail. If he ran a slaughter house or chicken joint in the eyes of most it would be accepted. He may get a guest appearance on the Food Network. One of the problems I have is that this man makes a living as a Football Player. This is the most violent sport on earth. He has some of the biggest, strongest, fastest men in the world trying to kill him with the cheers of tens of thousand egging them on. They beat the crap out of each other to gain or prevent their opponents’ from gaining an inch. When that football moves an inch the ass kicking begins. There is punching, kicking, spitting, cussing and violent collisions. Vick has some of the worlds biggest, strongest and fastest men in the world staring at him every snap of the football. He knows that if they ever get their hands on him they will try to break him in two and the crowd will love it. After that dog fighting maybe relaxing. This man will also lose a One Hundred Million Dollar contract because of dog fighting. I'm more concerned that a player in Vicks position is involved in gambling. It would be very easy for Vick to affect the out come of a game to his advantage. The NFL should be more concerned about that. Again, as the facts come out I’m sure the details of how these animals were killed will be cruel. I just find it strange that we treat our animals better than we treat people in our society. We cry about pets being mistreated but we will step over and look down on our homeless. We call the police when we think a pet is being mistreated but animals are getting their heads cut off and guts ripped out daily as food for human consumption. Cruelty is cruelty. What is acceptable? Vick will be hounded by animal rights groups so bad that OJ Simpson will say “Damn, I’m happy I’m not him”
