I can forgive a guy forgetting to take the weed out of his water bottle at the Miami International airport, but dog fighting? What an Asshole…
Michael Vick has been the starting quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons since 2002, and has been named to the Pro Bowl three times. Why? Not a fuck’n clue however there exist a large fan-base that believes he possesses super human powers and talent. Ladies and gentle, running like the wind is not a true talent and his limited football IQ certainly does not warrant Pro Bowl appearances.
This over-rated first round selection from Virginia Tech recently had his property searched in Surry, Va., and turned up 54 pit bulls, and a later search found graves of other dogs said to have been killed during fights by members of a group called “Bad Newz” Kennels. As direct result, our intellectual K9 wizard received an indictment that charged him with sponsored illegal dog fighting, gambled on dog fights and permitted acts of cruelty against animals on his property. Oh my God… Say it ain’t so!!! Kiss your Nike sponsorship good-bye, dumb ass.
Boys and girls, please, do not associate me with tree hugging morons, save the whale fanaticals, or above all, global warming theorists. Personally, I place myself into the “club a baby seal, they taste like chicken” category. Nevertheless, aggressive and intentional animal torture for the sake of savage amusement falls within the Jeffery Dohmer realm. Enough said.
For those in denial or living in backwoods seclusion, here is a typical “day in the life” of a dog groomed for fighting: A diet of gunpowder and hot sauce is intended to cause ulcers, which makes the dogs more ferocious. So does starving them and sewing razor blades under their skin. There are also those training routines of more treadmill miles than someone preparing for a marathon and hanging the animal by its mouth to ensure the jaw and neck muscles are suitably toughened for a fight that could last hours. Sound like humane treatment? This again… We don’t even expose condemned serial killers to this form of treatment.
If all that isn't disturbing enough, remember: Within factions of society are those who accept and promote such a cruel, disgusting, gutless act as dog fighting. If we are reminded of anything from the kind of light only a celebrity like Michael Vick can shine on such vicious exploits, it's that regional separation is not limited to political ideologies.
Sadly enough, we must take into consideration this form of barbaric entertainment is socially acceptable in select parts of our culture. Especially in geographic locations that believe inbreeding should be considered an Olympic sport. It's a shame that Michael Vick and his infinite wealth had to become the “village idiot” poster boy for this topic.
If any pit bull association out there wants to grant someone a service award, might we suggest Vick? One of the best ways to put a public face on an atrocious practice carried out by cowards in the darkness of night while protected by secret locations is to have a famous person linked to the issue.
An NFL quarterback? All the better.
Lastly: How guilty is he? This is not like the Duke Lacrosse scandal. There are NO conflicting reports. Also, it is not a county DA involved... It's Big Brother himself, the Federal government. FACT: 90% of all people indicted by the Federal government settle out of court. FACT: Of the 10% of the cases that do go to trial, there is a 95% conviction rate. With that said, don't even attempt to give Vick the benefit of the doubt. He's an ASSHOLE.
Granted, my opinion don’t count for much here within Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, however, according to former Dallas Cowboys executive Gil Brandt; “I don’t think there has been a guy in modern times that has fallen so far.” OK, so Gil Brandt is an NFL “has-been” however, he has witnessed enough shit in his time to make such judgment…
Although many professional athletes have fallen from social graces, most pale in comparison to Vick’s “alleged” atrocities. Think about it, his actions has successfully pissed off an estimated 73 million Americans that are over protective dog owners. Sucks, to be you, Vick... |
