Are We Still Talking about Michael Vick?
This is old news, but I’m still wondering about the Michael Vick dog fighting saga. I remember being in LA when I first heard about it and wondered then (as I do now) why were the news outlets covering this ALL day.
I understand the law. I understand the profound necessity to make sure everyone is treated the same. That’s how the system should work.
But I’m still left feeling like the amount of coverage, and to an extent, the amount of jail time, were in the extreme range.
So the premise (faulty, as it is) is that dog fighting is not as heinous as drug running/using, rape/beating women…fathering a whole bunch of children by a whole bunch of different women (which, apparently is legal and can not get you kicked out of the league…but should be illegal).
Should Vick be reprimanded? Absolutely. But to this extent?
