Priority Deficiency



I heard this morning on Foxes and Friends that Michael Vick has signed with the Philadelphia Eagles for a year with another year optional. I say good luck to Vick and the Eagles; sincerely. I’m from the Hampton Roads part of VA where Vick is from and I remember the raid on his house where evidence was collected and proof found showing he lead a dog fighting ring. That was bad and illegal and Vick did his time in prison for it. It’s time to allow him to live his life and do what he does best; play football.

Due to the politically correct world we live in, everyone and their brother doesn’t want to let this one go. On Foxes and Friends, they had a statement from P.E.T.A. about Vick be allowed to play again and they came across as not wanting him to move on with his life. Yes he abused dogs and even killed them; he was found guilty for this and served prison time for it. It’s time to allow this man to live his life.

There is a priority deficiency in this country when people who murder other people are allowed to serve a short sentence and then live their lives with no or little press coverage and when someone who abuses and/or kills animals is branded for life. People just don’t want Vick to be successful and the press coverage for the Eagles leave little doubt that they are being shown in a good light for signing this man.

I love animals and know God has made man to manage this world (along with the animals), but the life of a human being tromps any animal. I think if Vick had killed a human and did his time in prison, there would be some media coverage of him returning to the NFL and not what we are seeing now. This is the crazy world we live in. Go figure.
