This is sad. This is very sad, not only for what this low life cretin did to these animals, but for what a lame excuse for a human being this guy is. He isn’t even a human being as far as I am concerned. Who am I talking about? Michael Vick, that’s who. This cat was handed the American Dream, heck he embodied the American Dream. Here is someone who had nothing, started out life poor and with a dream, a dream to play football. Well, as it turns out, he is good at football, so he got to see his dream come true.
He went from a poor kid with nothing, to a college kid at Virginia Tech, all because he could play football. He didn’t stay at Tech long though, again because he could play football. He got an opportunity to play professionally with the Atlanta Falcons and become a multi-millionaire. Now that my friends, is seeing your dream come true. Isn’t it? You start out life with nothing but a dream, and in not very many years you achieve that dream and all of the prosperity that comes with it. This should be an inspirational story, but it’s not.
You see, all of this success just brought out Michael Vick’s true character. He has continually acted as though he is above the law, and been a jerk to his fans. He has flipped off fans at games (that’s really classy their Mike), he has used fake names to get various services we won’t mention here. We’ve seen drug charges, and a myriad of other offenses. Wait a second, did you get that? Here this kid gets millions handed to him, his dream life, and he can’t help but break the law every chance he gets. What a role model he is! Plus, he can show fans that he doesn’t give a rip about them either buy making obscene gestures to them, all because he was having a bad day. Awwe.
The latest from this professional loser, is dog fighting. Well, let’s forget for a minute that it’s a crime, and let’s point out that it’s just plain wrong. Torturing, hurting, killing dogs just because you are so immature as to get a thrill out of watching them fight? You have nothing better to do? How about growing up, being a man and not a baby, and maybe train a little bit, huh? Maybe if you had some of that hunger and desire back like you used to, you wouldn’t suck so bad a football now!
Police raid his property and find 66 dogs, kennels, dog fighting equipment and more. They find injured and maimed dogs, they find bodies of other dogs, you name it. What kind of a spoiled little worthless brat is this guy? From the indictment:
Vick and his cohorts began purchasing pit bull puppies in late-2001 and would eventually “sponsor” individual dog fights with purses as high as $26,000. In the indictment’s most harrowing parts, federal investigators describe what happened to some Bad Newz Kennels dogs that either lost matches or did not perform well in test fights. After a March 2003 loss by a female pit bull, codefendant Purnell Peace, “after consulting with Vick,” electrocuted the animal. In April, prosecutors allege, Vick, Peace, and Quanis Phillips, “executed approximately 8 dogs that did not perform well in ‘testing’ sessions.” These animals, the indictment claims, were killed “by various methods, including hanging, drowning, and slamming at least one dog’s body to the ground.”
Wow, that sounds like a nice guy. Read the whole thing here at TSG.
You wanna know what really drives me nuts here? You have all of this stuff that Vick has done, and not only has he not learned from his actions, or really even been punished, but people are stepping up to defend him. I read one quote from someone (I can’t remember who, I am going to have to find it) that said it was his business and everyone should leave him alone. Um, hello? Can you say these are crimes we are talking about here, you moron? Better yet, we have the Nation Of Islam Sports Blog that has to play the race card and claim it’s all trumped up charges because “Americans will all be kneeling and facing Mecca five times a day before another Negro QB leads his team to a Super Bowl victory“. That’s it, he is under investigation just because he is black. Even goes so far as to refer to the investigation as a “lynching”. Unbelievable. That makes as much sense as Wesley Snipes claiming the only reason the government wants all those back taxes he hasn’t paid is because he’s black too. Yeah, right. Obviously the morons are out in force lately.
The point I am making is this, Michael Vick had everything handed to him because he worked hard and had some talent with football. He got fame, fortune, security, you name it. Now he is going to lose it all because at his base level, he has lousy character. This incident with the dogs shows yet again that he is just a child, a corrupt individual in his soul, and that he needs to grow up. It’s sad that people do these kinds of things. This isn’t the only example or case of stuff like this, or this bad. This is just a huge example of it because of who is involved. Again, Vick’s life should be a shining example of the opportunities that life can give you, of how wonderful this country is. Instead it’s an example of a sad shallow man boy that pissed away a good thing.
