Vick on 60 Minutes - What do you think? (and youtube links if you haven't seen it)

Sthor

All Vick was concerned about was his career in football.   You can't tell me he didn't  know his dogfighting was wrong.   Blame it on his culture.   I think alot of what was driving him to continue was the money.   I don't think he has grasp the idea that he caused alot of pain and suffering with his dogs.   He gets a second chance with his life and his dogs got the death penalty.   SICK INDIVIDUAL!!!!

Below is a better version of part 2 of the interview:

It is really hard for me to understand what goes on in someone’s mind when they intentionally cause the kind of torture and death to dogs as Michael Vick’s admits to let alone someone who reportedly “enjoyed placing family pets in the ring with fighting pit bulls and ... laughed as dogs ripped each other apart," I believe Michael Vick was involved in absolutely sickening behavior.

But the discussion is what should be done now that he has severed his sentence of 2 years in prison and loss of at least 100 million dollars in salary and endorsements? At this point for me ostracizing him and carrying on a vendetta with a never-ending cycle of retribution not only serves no purpose but ends up loosing the chance to turn this into as President Obama would say a “teachable moment”

Vick’s admits, to his credit, that being exposed to dog fighting as a child growing up in a public housing project in of Newport News, Virginia is no excuse and I couldn’t agree with him more. But here is a man that can enter the world of dog fighting that exists in many other inner-city neighborhoods and make an enormous difference in stopping the endless cycle of dog fighting that still exists there. As an ex-con and current player in the NFL Vick’s resume gives him the street creds that demands a high level of respect among those that are just starting to loose touch with their own humanity. Alcoholics Anonymous has helped millions of people by the recovered alcoholics who set an example and stand up and say that the choices they made caused immeasurable suffering to so many others.

Your post asks "What did you think about what Vick said." I think he's lying and he feels no genuine remorse. He seems satisfied that his deception is effective and resentful that he got caught. Watch the clip on mute and look at his body language. He gets to do whatever he wants and that behavior has just been reinforced with that pathetic joke of a 2 year sentence. He should do jail time for multiple counts of torture.
