NOT!!!!  As many have already written in blogs here on the FoxBlogs, Michael Vick’s supposed association with dog fighting has created much attention over the past few weeks.  As if Vick needed any extra attention, he has been accused of being involved with dog fighting.  His involvement has yet to be determined, though there have been reports from some of his associates that he has been seen at dog fights in the past.  But what is even more disturbing than these accusations, is that there have been NFL players who have actually come to Vick’s defense.  As you have read on several FoxBlogs, Clinton Portis has been quoted as saying, "I don't know if he was fighting dogs or not, but it's his property, it's his dog.”  He also said, "If that's what he wants to do, do it. I think people should mind their business."  Well, Mr. Portis, let’s look at some of the facts that surround dog fighting. 

Dog fighting is a money making machine.  It is basically an underground outfit that makes its money by pitting two dogs against one another in a violent clash that often leads to death…and always leads to injury.  These dogs live through this torture through most of their lives.  If they are not killed while fighting, they often die from infections and internal injuries sustained from the fights.  In other words, they die a slow and painful death.  These dog fights are also common venues for drug distribution and usage.  In fact, it is a common venue for gangs and “mafia” like organizations who thrive on drugs and violence.  Dog fighting is a felony in most states, and is illegal in all states.  It is the most violent and ridiculous of all animal abuses.  Much of their training is done on cats and other small domesticated animals, who are unfortunate enough to be listed in the local newspaper as “needing a good home”.  So the abuse from dog fighting isn’t limited to dogs.  I don’t think I need to elaborate any further on the facts of dog fighting.  

With this being said, I am challenging all bloggers who have supported Michael Vick and his fellow NFL supporters to explain to the sane world how exactly it is “okay” for Vick or any other person to be involved in the vicious and inhumane sport of dog fighting.  Have we really gotten to the point in American where our professional athletes are pardoned for what would be a felony in most states?  Now, with this being said, Vick hasn’t been convicted of anything.  However, as friends and others come to the forefront of this investigation, with incriminating evidence that supports the accusation that Vick does, in fact, have his grubby little hands in this absurd sport, it is becoming more evident to the law of public opinion that he is guilty.  And for those of you who support his actions, and anyone who is involved in this so called sport, I hope you have a mirror you can look into on a daily basis, and truthfully call yourself a decent human being.  If you do, you are a fool, and someone who needs to be psychologically evaluated.  GET HELP SOON!!! 

As for Michael Vick, he was recently asked by an ESPN reporter about what this will do for his career.  Vick simply stated that he had enough support from around the nation that this wouldn’t hurt him.  He was also asked if he feels that he will be convicted of being involved with dog fighting.  His heart felt answer was, “no comment”.  If Michael’s brain activity matched his physical abilities, he might be able to complete a sentence that is understandable to the general public.  And Mike may be able to understand right from wrong.  Up to this point, that part of the brain has yet to develop.  Good luck Mike!!  And I assure you that what your money will get you out of in this life, will not escape you in the next!!!
