Slick Vick

OK, so Michael Vick gets welcomed back into the fold by the NFL with open arms and a few caveats. What in the world does somebody have to do for the NFL to think that they're giving the league a bad name? I suppose the NFL would forgive Hitler if they thought he would sell tickets. Well, the average football fan can no longer afford tickets to the games, but they can afford beer, soda, pizza, chips, burgers, cel phones, deodorant, trucks, and a lot of other stuff that gets advertised on TV. I suppose the sponsors think that nobody is noticing. I suppose the entire football culture is so inured to the violence that even the fans don't care-even dog owners. After all, more women get beaten by their spouses and boyfriends on Super Bowl Sunday than any day of the year. So who really does care if Vick did all these hideous things to dogs. I don't belong to any organizations regarding cruelty to animals, but I recently signed a petition in regard to the re-hiring of Michael Vick. I personally think he should be washed up. Finished. He had the world handed to him on a plate and he pissed on it. He had his chance to be a hero and instead chose to be an ugly little coward. But that's just me. If you would like to make a statement, look for the petitions online. Do a search. Snoop around. It'll take all of five minutes. Sign one and click on the send button and you'll know that at least you are the kind of person who has faith that each of us can make a difference. Let some sponsors of the NFL know how you feel. Do you know how you feel?
