I would write that I cannot believe Michael Vick was indicted on federal charges for dogfighting, and doing it across state lines, but I am not surprised. Sadly, this is not an unusual thing for one of the Vick boys. And I hate it for the Falcons . . . He is a talented qb, just staying in trouble too much.
I guess athletes really don’t get into more trouble than the average joes around them (maybe a LITTLE more), so I guess the spotlight just makes it look a lot worse. We obsess too much over celebrities and athletes. Oh, and did you hear this guy named David Beckham is coming to the LA Galaxy?? (heh heh heh . . . Who HASN’T seen or heard that).
Perhaps our obsession with popular athletes and celebs give them way too much credence and attention. Maybe we have created a monster in the media machine that WE FEED and then complain about. So can WE do about it??? TURN IT OFF. Turn off the TV and computer!!
I saw you wince at that suggestion, but it is the truth. We have created the media blitz that surrounds celebs BECAUSE WE WATCH IT.
And, as for the Vick boys, I don’t even know what happened to Marcus. Michael is a tremendous athlete, and I really hope this is not the beginning of his slippery slope. But you never know.
