He deserves credit for taking the punishment that was dealt to him like a man. No more, no less. One day he may earn this particular reward, but based on the intent of the award, he hasn't earned it yet.
Just like, for example, Pres. Obama has not yet earned the Nobel PEACE Prize. Sure, he is a great man and a great example. But he has not yet DONE what one would expect of a PEACE Prize winner. He has the potential to do it but he hasn't won it.
Same with Vick. The way he is handling his life since sentencing is admirable. But as far as overcoming adversity? That he caused? C'mon.
Cosign.
the man fought dogs or financed it whatever of a breed the us government targets and kills themselves, a breed that most homeowner insurance companies wont allow, and a breed that is restricted in about 70% communities across america.'
*not personally directed* As far as opinions, I find it interesting that when we talk about sin in the church, we ready to sit ppl down, and slicing and dicing ppl that willingly do wrong, "holiness is a standard", etc. Yet just because someone is black (lets call it for what it is) and they jack up, we rally and dissect down what they did to make a case for wrongdoing. Regardless on how you slice it, HE COMMITTED A CRIME. ALOT OF TIMES KNOWINGLY. Leave the dogs out of it, and he still willingly did
illegal activity. For the record, I at first was like, there THEY go, and was feeding into the black defense rallying behind him, but just like Tiger and alot of these other cats, when you are operating outside the refuge of God, the enemy can practically do what he wants to jack up your life by your mistakes. These facts stated dont lessen what he did. Im not a holier than thou cat, and I dont condemn him in anyway, I actually like watching him play, but we so quick to water down situations we support. If he was a pastor, ppl would have stones in hand. Maybe thats just my unbiasedness talking again.
