Fine with me. It did take courage to put up with all the abuse Vick got
from the hypocrite media. The press jumped on Vick but never goes after the
"sport hunters" and slaughterhouse owners.!!

Michael Vick Receives Ed Block Courage Award
March 09, 2010

With protesters outside, Michael Vick was awarded the Ed Block Courage
Award.

The award is presented to players who show a commitment to the principles
of sportsmanship and courage. Vick was selected unanimously by his
teammates.

"I'm very humbled to be here," Vick said before the award ceremony. "I'm
blessed to be voted by my peers, to be here, and this is an opportunity
that I will take advantage of and cherish forever."

This is the first award Vick has received since being reinstated in
September 2009.

Vick ran the wildcat offense for the Philadelphia Eagles and completed six
of 13 passes for 86 yards and one touchdown.

LOL. This country is still screwed up with hero worship of pro athletes.
They are immune to consequences.

The world worships celebrities.

But their consequences vary from ours. The guy down the street who
gets caught with mistresses has different consequences from Woods,
Ashburn, or Edwards.

Vick didn't get enough abuse.

He should be stripped naked, put in a pit with crack crazed wolverines
and let him fight it out.
