The NFL has officially suspended Michael Vick after Vick pleads guilty to participating in dogfighting rings as part of a plea agreement with federal prosecutors in Virginia.
The common question raised these days around Vick's choices and other young rich stars is why do they do it when they have everything?
In most cases these young people already have issues - add money, fame and a lot of free time and you get disaster. Why did Vick not get help?
Vick's father, Boddie, 45, who has not talked directly to his son in the last 26½ months, said his son "likes (dogfighting) and he has the capital to have a set up like that." Vick showed interest in dogfighting at a young age in his hometown of Newport News, Va., and would stage dogfights in his own garage and back yard.
These seems to be a behavior and activity Vick would have been involved with even without the money to finance such dogfighting rings. Seems like a sick addiction. Could someone have intervened or was the cheek turned because of Vick's God given talents on the football field?
What a waste of talent. A career strategy down the toilet too - Vick has an opportunity to do good moving forward as everyone who blows it does - or he can continue to be a total looser. What will he do?
I'd like to piss on Vick's leg.
