i am not really sure how i feel about this- vick playing the other night.
i am disgusted about this truly and think i wanted someone to hit him with a career ending blow. but then i feel mad at myself wishing this kind of injury on someone- that makes me no better than this asshole.
and then i get in this moral turmoil about that internally "...hurt him, no don't, yes hurt him, no that makes you no better, i don't care kick him in the teeth..."
BUT thinking on the article AJ sent me here got me really thinking... maybe there can be some good to come out of this. we all know he is a monster, evil, my thoughts on that will never change. he brings up in me the closest thing to hate i have ever possibly felt.
BUT if he stays in the spotlight the issue stays in the spotlight, right? if he fades away then the issue might lessen. Pit Bulls need to be protected and they are the ONLY victim in the stupidity/cruelty of their owners. vick is no exception, he is an 'a' number one ASSHOLE.
Time will tell if he really feels sorrow for what he has done to innocents.
and i will be watching you michael vick, watching you really hard. and in the end KARMA will get you if you are not doing the right thing... count on it.
and that KARMA will probably be in the form of a certain Laura that just died, she will get you -because i am sure she is also watching you...
AJ has the right idea.
ReplyDeleteVick isn't an allstar QB anymore - he is a posterboy of what not to do.
Every single game he plays for the rest of his career (which I predict won't be long) will have the announcers shouting this issue from their microphones.
I only heard a few minutes of the game the other nigh, but it was all they talked about.
He doesn't have to be sorry - because now there is a quiet movement of soulful people who are not just angry about what he did, but they are motivated for it to not happen anymore.
Let him play - it's all he knows. He went to jail and now he needs a job and all he knows is how to throw the ball. Of course someone would hire him back. He doesn't have the spotlight like he used to.
Now his sins are plastered all over the TV every week and he'll never recover from it.
He might be making more money per game than you or I make all year, but money isn't what pro- athletes are after - they want the fame and he is now and will always be infamous - tainted with the blood he still doesn't mourn.
OMG, Margo! Beautifully said!!! I certainly don't think he is at all sorry for what he did...and if you dig around and think about him only serving time for racketeering and NOT for the animal abuse and murder the above rings truer than ever...That's not what he was convicted on but it's all anyone cares about. Yep. You said it! Awesome...I hadn't even thought about it but having an ex who lived for that attention as an athlete I think you may have hit the nail on the head.
ReplyDeleteKarma is a bitch and she will come around.
Did you see the piece about dog food being donated everytime he gets tackled? The ran it in the Sunday paper! Good is coming even if not from him.
ReplyDeleteAnd I saw an article on Bed Rothlisbeger and how he buys a police dog for the local dept or the bulletproof vests they need in every city he plays in...Talked about how much he loves his 2 and pictured him with his Rottie. :)
