What you Vick apologists don't seem to get...it's about intent...

There have been a lot of dumb, terrible things done by a lot of sports figures, people will note Donte Stallworth and Plaxico Buress as being the most obvious, and they seem to be getting off easier, and there isn't the disgust for them that there is for Vick. Why?

It's about intent. Stallworth killed a man and there is no excuse for drunk driving, but did he set out to kill someone that night? No. Michale Vick KNEW exactly what he was doing, SET out to do what he did, and WAS AWARE of his horrific, murderous actions EACH and EVERY SECOND while he was doing them. That's not just a crime, it's the sign of a sick, twisted, mind.

Oh, but he's paid his price. Has he? And he's so remorseful and knows better now. HOW THE PHUCK do you know that? Are you inside his mind right now? The guy has been out for literally only weeks and he's done oh so many wonderful things to show his contrition. Give me a PHUCKING break. He's done squat. SQUAT!

Michael Vick might eventually prove he is changed, might eventually show that what he did can stop people from doing the same thing, but the key word is MIGHT. And until he actually does prove that, and is not just playing so many of you for fools, then he gets NO PASS from me.
