I have been watching the news and its pulling up the Race Card w/ Vick.
The NAACP is calling for the NFL to re-instate him, once he pays his dept to society. It also claims that some of the over due media coverage is because he is a black man, and the US society loves to bring down well off black men (O.J. M. Jackson, Tyson).
Is there any meret to this? Is Vick getting a raw deal? What do you guys think?
here is a good artical I though from espn ESPN Page 2 - Hill: No excuses
I personaly feel that the media covarge is because he was the face of a NFL team, I feel Peyton Manning was in this, I do feel it would be this big. I feel it is more because of Celebrity and not RACE, look at the Pairs Hilton thing. I always thought the M. Vick had a gasta persona, I think that is a wrong way to persent your self in the media, especially when so many young people look up to you. Why do some sports athelites feel they want to look thug.
