I can't stand Michael Vick and what he did before he was arrested (finally) in 2007. Now he's leaving the Eagles to play for the Jets and I just don't understand why jocks get all the favors? I read this blog article and I agree with it 100%.
It isn't just him. As the article states, "Throughout the league, owners have shown a winning at all cost
attitude and they don’t seem to care if it’s Michael Vick and his dog
torture or the many other players in the league with criminal records.
There are wife beaters, those accused of rape and those that have faced
time on gun, assault, murder and attempted murder cases.
In professional sports, it’s the love of a team that is handed down
for generations. I’m a third generation Bears fan. However, as the
league continues to keep players like Vick and other criminals in the
league, it stopped being a family-friendly sport any longer."
Football seems to attract a large, brutish man for the sport. Manly men. With lots of testosterone and muscle. Not all players are this way, and choose to have a criminal life. Many are wonderful fathers and husbands. Why can't we make the crooks pay like laypeople? Rapists are not above the law, why are football players? Because money talks. And rapists walk. Fuck that shit. If a famous person rapes me, I will NOT be bought, and he will have to pay for his sins.....in jail.
