Giving You More Than Just My Two Cents
From the Land of the Totally Unbelievable
I don't know why this still surprises me but I guess one day I will expect professional sports to have a shred of moral fiber. Instead I turned on ESPN radio this evening for 30 seconds only to hear them talking about yep, Michael Vick.
Is there no self respect in professional sports right now where they can't say no to a dog killer coming back into the league? Even if the league opens the door for his return I would hope the individual teams set their bars slightly higher and avoid him like the plague.
Its not just the league either for entertaining the idea, its the talk show hosts who think they are doing their job by talking about it and hyping it up thinking that fans actually want to hear them talk about the soon to be ex con. Stop hyping up the guys return when in actuality I believe the NFL has not even considered letting him back. At this point, its not going to happen and it shouldn't happen.
Granted there is probably still a handful of people who would pay to see the loser play, a pocket of people who are accepting of this mans hellacious acts. Im a dog owner and it sickens me what he did still to this day. Quite frankly I want no part of a league who would have fans that would accept and even root for the guy.
If this guy is seriously allowed back into the NFL you can add them to the list of professional sports that I will just not watch. If other NFL fans are dog owners they should consider it too, would you really want this scumbag playing on your team? What if the Bills signed him, I would like to think that if we gave Marshawn Lynch hell for his run ins with the law that we would be outraged over them signing Michael Vick.
Just out of prison? No problem as long as you are a professional NFL player we take back dog killers. Nice league and great topic ESPN.












I Agree with Mike. ESPN wants sesationalism and what better way to get free publicity than take a very unpopular and wrong stance.
