vicky is now ironically fighting the government dog

Michael Vick, Michael Vick. Since I hail from Portsmouth, Virginia, some small distance from the "Birthplace of the Vick," and live in Atlanta, Georgia, some small distance from the "Field of the Vick," I feel particularly close to this whole dog-fighting case. However, I'm not sure what to make of it. I don't condone breeding already-aggressive puppies to fight almost until one loses a limb or ear or something. That is so sad, and those dogs don't know any better. I started out as an Atlanta Falcons fan when I first moved down here. (Living with a die-hard Chicago fan has altered that...) But with Vick being banned from camp and, presumably, more punishment will come with that indictment, I think that rooting for Atlanta this year may be a bit difficult. It's crazy how one man can carry a team, but look at Lebron. (Who I like, I liiike!) With the possibility of Vick being out for the upcoming season until this case blows over, I may just have to completely hang up the black and red. It'll make nice decoration.

I remember listening to Ryan Cameron last Thursday or Friday afternoon, and listeners were calling in with their opinions on the entire dog-fighting issue. This one woman called in, and I swear, she probably got on the bad side of Ryan, Ryan's staff, and most listeners tuning in. This woman claims she works at a vet's office, but sees nothing wrong with dog-fighting. She actually stated, "As long as it's done properly, I don't see nothing wrong with it." Properly. As in, "Dogs, get into the ring and let's have a good, fair, clean fight?" Unt uh. Not happening. This woman has personally seen what fighting dogs look like once the fight is over, and was adamant about it being too okay. She started going on and on about some law in the 1970's and something. I cringed and turned on my cd player.

Then I thought about it. Somebody should have gotten her name because she was definitely into dog-fighting. No doubt. I'd be the "snitch" if I got paid for it!

Dog-fighting. I'm not a part of those crazy-ass "People Eating Tasty Animals" folks, but it is still a sad, sad thing. Especially for us black folk. It's funny, though. Michael Vick is now the dog, having to fight his way against the pitbull government, the NFL, practically all other folks out to get him. I guess he hopes that having that big dog, Billy whatnot, will help defend him. That lawyer helped Monica Lewinsky. Hm. But where is she now? Hmm...will Vick disappear, too?...We shall see.
