Oh my...here we go again. Mr. Vick seems to be coming around smelling like a rose. Seriously, who gets away with brutally and tourchering innocent dogs? Apparently the courts felt this gambling, greedy money maker murderer only needed a simple 20 month sentence in prison. The NFL (another disappointment) was counting the days for this former top athlete to be released and immediately re- instated to the NFL. Why?
Have we forgotten the numerous animals that lost their lives to the hands of this cruel, evil , sociopath? Or are we simply looking away? What about the 27 pit bulls that were able to be saved? Have we not acknowledged these dogs will struggle with some form of PTSD for the rest of their lives? These animals have been going through recovery for almost 4yrs now and some still haven’t been able to fully transition back into society.
Therefore, why is Michael Vick allowed back into society? Why is he able to have a career making millions and as of last week resigns to his endorsement contract with Nike!
Nike, an athletic company that is known for promoting the most exciting athletes in the world, chose Michael Vick? What is our media and corporate America doing? Come on Nike…are you saying with all the sports and record breaking athletes in the world the best you could find as a representation of you and as a role model is Michael Vick? Oh geez…
I honestly think with the 10yr anniversary of 911 approaching us in September, I would have hoped Nike could have done a tribute campaign on all the heroes that lost their lives that day. But what am I thinking? That would only be the logical and respectful thing Nike could have done. That doesn’t make sense. Shame on you Nike ….
I have to ask? What is next? The Whitey Bugler running shoes?
