The NAACP has now voiced its opinion on how Michael Vick should be handled after he has served his sentence.
Atlanta NAACP: After sentence, let quarterback Michael Vick return to NFL, preferably Falcons (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=ap-vick-naacp&prov=ap&type=lgns)
I like the following comment:
As a society, we should aid in his rehabilitation and welcome a new Michael Vick back into the community without a permanent loss of his career in football
We further ask the NFL, Falcons, and the sponsors not to permanently ban Mr. Vick from his ability to bring hours of enjoyment to fans all over this country."
However, I guess those guidelines aren't the same for an old white shock-jock. Let's forget about the fact that most people who found him offensive, didn't listen to his show anyway. So all the listeners that were left were people who received hours of enjoyment from his talk show. At least Imus didn't break the law.
I think in the end, if the NAACP, Jesse Jackson, and Al Sharpton ever want to be taken with any bit of seriousness that they are looking out for black people, and not just looking to throw out the race card all the time, then I think they sometimes need to show everyone that there are bad black people and that they should be punished as well.
Once Michael Vick pleaded guilty, he should have been displayed of what not to be. Not go on about how we should all just let things go like they never happened after he gets out of jail.
I'm going to stop ranting right now, as I might just blow a vessel in my brain.
