Stallworth vs Vick

Ok, so I couldn't keep this out of my head after I finished my last post. Stallworth killed a man, and Vick ran a dog fighting ring. Stallworth was drunk while Vick probably smoked an occasional joint. Stallworth will play football again soon; Vick still has a long road ahead of him. Stallworth will serve 30 days in jail. Vick spent nearly 2 years in jail (home confinement at the moment). 

I could go on forever, but my point is made. How can we honestly say that Vick committed more wrong doing than that of Stallworth. Its a human vs dozens of dogs but still. Vick has exhausted every last bit of his contact with the Falcons and Stallworth spent alot but got his life in return. He will still sit in financial security while Vick works a 9-5 making less than I do right now. 

This is what our judicial system has come to. Such horrible discrepancies and unfair rulings that have put, not just superstars, but the average joe either back in the real world or behind bars. Now the NFL will implement a suspension and fine against Stallworth but it will be nothing compared to scrutiny that followed, and will continue to, Michael Vick. By no means do I condone any of Vick's actions, but this is an obvious problem.

Killing humans vs. torturing dogs... Where do you stand?


Until next time...
