To be quite honest, I was shocked Michael Vick was even charged. Not because there wasn't enough evidence against him, the only thing they don't have is a video of Vick beating dogs with sticks. It's just that stars of this magnitude always seem to float above the law. Look no further than Kobe Bryant. I won't be shocked if Vick's case never goes to trial, but if any justice comes out of this, at least Vick's football career seems to be over.
I don't mind that athletes make millions, at least the ones who give money to charity, or start foundations, you know, people who give back. I have no patience or respect for anyone who uses that money for something crooked that is both a waste of money, and also brings down the society around them. People like that (Vick) deserve to have it all taken away in order to make room for the next young kid who doesn't take their chance to do something great for granted. Then there is the whole humanitarian aspect around the issue. Now I'm not the kind of person that would swerve into a tree to save a squirrel, but I do have a great respect for animals, and breeding dogs for the sole purpose of them killing one another is beyond comprehension for most normal human beings. Michael Vick could have been one of the greatest QB's to ever play the game, and he had an opportunity to do great things for the city of Atlanta from a service aspect. It's too bad his priorities were in the wrong place.
So enjoy your permanent vacation Ron, it's well deserved, just try not to spend all of your money in one place.
