Who Let the Dogs Out?

If you haven’t heard, Michael Vick is being investigated for his role in a ring of illegal dog fighting. Not that there is any form of dog fighting that’s legal, but it’s prudent to mention the illegality of Vick’s alleged behavior so you understand that his actions are more than immoral.

From what has been mentioned in the media, Vick owns a house that was a refuge for the inhumane to bet on dog fights. Pit Bulls to be exact. But Vick claims he never knew about the dog fights, or ever placed a paw in the house before. Okay fine. But what about the police informant who anonymously said he’s personally pinned one of his own dogs against one of Vick’s? And Vick was there to oversee the whole thing. Or what about Vick’s notoriety as one of the high rollers at the fights?

How is Michael Vick going to deny all this?

Probably the same way Iranian President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad denies the holocaust and President Bush denies global warming. With fucked up facts. And hubris.

However he denies it, Vick will probably get away with minor repercussions. Athletes always do. So what should his punishment be?

Some say kick him out of the NFL. Others say prosecute him as the legal system warrants. I on the other hand believe in equal opportunity. If those dogs get the chance to fight one another on a concrete battleground, so should Vick. I say throw his ass in there with five raging Pit Bulls and let people place bets. I got five on the crazed dog in the corner with the Rambo tattoo. Actually make it ten. That’s one sick tattoo.

Seriously though, let Vick jump into a pit and try to fight off a few rabid Pit Bulls trained to devour flesh. I bet avoiding a bite in the pit won’t be as easy as evading a sack on the field. A few flesh wounds later and we’ll see if Vick wants to remain a high roller in the dog fighting community.

Way to go Ron Mexico.
