I’m very upset over this: AP News
In a nutshell, Mike Vick is allowed to once again play for the NFL after being convicted of a felony charge for dog fighting. He can attend all preseason practices, workouts, and meetings and will even be allowed in games if he can find a team that will sign him.
He only spent 20 months in prison.
Pitbulls are not meant to look like this: 1 , 2 , 3.
They should look like this: 1 , 2 , 3.
And Mike Vick should no receive just a slap on the wrist. Many people have their careers ruined over less offenses than dog fighting. Vick should, in my opinion, barely be allowed to play football in his backyard, much less in the NFL.
The NFL should cage him up and torture him every day by withholding food, water, and adequate shelter. They should only let him out at game time. And during games, when defensive linebackers are chomping down on his face and neck, forcing him to defend himself with violence, his coach should shout at him and belittle him. If he loses the struggle, he should be beaten and then caged again.
This way he will truly understand the severity of the crimes he committed, by feeling exactly what his dogs were forced to endure.
He has helped to perpetuate the stereotype that dogs such as pitbulls are vicious and dangerous animals, unable to be rehabilitated. He also helped the phrase, “You can take the boy out of the ghetto but you can’t take the ghetto out of the boy,” seem extremely realistic. Thanks, Vick.
Below are pictures of my very own “vicious” pitbull.
