GUILTY!

According to the Worldwide Leader™, Michael Vick will plead guilty to federal dogfighting charges next Monday the 27th.

Since he is a celebrity and has lots of money–some of which he made from said dogfighting–he’ll likely wind up with not much more than a slap on the wrist compared to what Joe Citizen would get in the same situation. Even so, it’s a great day for justice. I’m not a tree-hugging Save the Whales Greenpeace extremist whack job by any means, but dogfighting is about the most heinous crime that can be perpetrated against an animal. Myself, I’m not into cats, but I would NEVER even for a split second consider exacting any sort of torture on cats even remotely like what Vick and his fellow thugs did to those dogs.

And of course, the racism card has been dangled out there already. ESPN is currently trying to spin it that the blacks in Atlanta support Vick and the whites detest him. Boy, that’s original. Creating racism where there is none- THAT’S never happened before. It’s not a race thing, people; it’s common decency. Whether you’re black, white, or titty pink, if you support Michael Vick (especially now) or dogfighting in general, you’re scum. Plain and simple. It’s right vs. wrong.

People say that “they” are trying to make an example of Vick. Big deal. Look at the state of sports nowadays: steroids, crooked refs on the take, dogfighting, etc. If you really truly want to clean up sports, then some people HAVE to have examples made of themselves to do so. Deal with it.

However, put a little perspective on it. I’m thrilled to death that Vick will be punished at least a little (likely, TOO little) for what he did, but look at how many others have effectively gotten away with so much more. Drugs, weapons, rape, MURDER of another HUMAN BEING or two (good evening to you, O.J. …). Again, I’m very happy Vick finally did the right thing for once (or at least is scheduled to…) but spare me the sob stories of him being the victim of a witch hunt or whatever. Even if he IS being “singled out”, “hung out to dry”, “sent down the river”, or any of the other lame clichés I’ve heard since this story first broke, that’s better than the far more distressing and far greater number of those that get/got away with… well, murder. At least Vick will actually be punished for the crimes he committed, unlike most of his peers.

So don’t shed a tear for Vick; he’ll do his “time” and be back in the NFL within a year or two. SOME idiotic desperate team will sign him. Some justice.
