Man Bites Dog or OK To Pick On Vick?
The Shootout blog presents Host Peter Guber's thoughts on Bill Maher and Michael Vick.
Bill Maher on AMC's Shootout made it clear that Michael Vick, Atlanta Falcons Football Pinata, is more than fair game. His view was that what Vick did was reprehensible and he's right. In fact, while the NFL will not allow him to play when he is in prison and the folks who manufacture all his gear will have to have a garage sale, Vick will be back. And while I clearly expressed my view that folks are allowed to pay their dues and repent and we should be able to forgive, Maher is not now in such a mood. Correctly, its too soon and these animals have no voice so a public hanging may provide a chilling effect on this kind of behavior.
Animals like these poor devils need a voice and if Maher can bark up a storm I think he deserves a biscuit or two for his condemnation. However, Vick the dog that "he" is, will live to fight (or should I say play) another day. Others who committed acts far worse than him quickly roam the streets after a simple wrist slap. How his story will unfold will be more interesting to watch than many of the NFL games that seem to languish with bad ratings late in the season. Some team is going to need a quarterback in a year or two….Hey the Cleveland Browns have their "Dawg Pound." He could fit in. Think of the merchandising.
There have been people commenting on Vick's actions over the last week who seem to imply, if not blatantly state, that dog fighting is a part of his culture and that they can see why Vick might not have understood the error of his ways. I find this position to be unfathomable and wonder what someone has to do in order to be in the wrong unequivocally these days. Vick is a grown man and his actions cannot be defended or diffused by attempting to understand what cultural influences may better explain them. Perhaps a lack of common sense is the culprit and individuals who are inflicted with it, regardless of race, should be put in a ring and fight to the death. Of course, this practice may eventually become part of our culture and where would we go from there?
Falcons are the best team in the NFL, As far as I m concerned, we have great fans, really the whole city of Atlanta will say that. In Atlanta if you want to watch the Falcons in style good luck with that, all the Falcons premium seats get sold out the day they show up in ticketmaster. Falcons tickets are sometimes 2 or even 5 times the face value. Anyhow If you get lost I have a new sight for u guys
