I totally agree with that.
No defense of what Vick did, but I think the cultural aspects have been completely overlooked. He will forever have to prove himself because of it. You can disagree with the price he paid, but he paid the price that was asked. The level of hatred expressed toward him here IMO borders on pathological.
I agree with your post. Sadly agree!
I’m not following his life with any degree of scrutiny, so I’m still wondering if he has or can awaken to reject the cruelty aspects of what allowed him to be so cruel to these animals? To my mind, that is the essence of this issue with Vic: is he reformed, awake to the wrong of his cruelty to these animals, not just playing a game of “I learned my lesson when I got caught.”
