Michael Vick Still Does Not Get It

As we are all aware the night of his 30th birthday he was involved in some kind of confrontation. Shots were fired but Vick had no part in it or he would be back behind bars.

He still doesn't get it, he is still hanging out with the same type of crowd that he got in trouble with in the first place. He still hasn't figured it out, there is nothing special about him, he has athletic talent and ability. So do a thousand other guys that never got the same breaks he did. Vick still does not accept that he did not hang the moon nor does the sun rise and set on Michael Vick.

Why am I taking time and blasting this guy, because he violated one of the most important tenants of life, he broke his word. I am a firm believer that regardless of talent, money or position, if your word means nothing then you are nothing. Michael Vick in my book is a nothing, he broke his word, he broke his word to kids, the very group of people he counts on to support him as fans and buy the merchandise that bears his name.

This weekend Vick was to make an appearance at the Camp Elite Sports’ two-day football camp held in Raleigh, N.C. He was guaranteed a 4 thousand dollar fee for appearing and did receive half up front.

Sunday night at 2 am in the morning one of his associates called they camp director, Cornelius Corprew, telling him Mr. Vick would not be making the scheduled appearance. Vick spokes person, Judy Smith, says her client travels at the leisure of his parole officer and in lieu of the incident that occurred on his 30th birthday that Vick has limited travel privileges.

Providing what she says is true, his traveling privileges have been curtailed, Vick had to be aware of the situation well before 2 am Sunday morning. He could have made the call himself to Mr. Corpew and explained his situation, not have one of his gophers make the call hours before the scheduled appearance.

He has once again spit in the face of fans and the benefits afforded him by a forgiving public and the game of football. Simply put Vick just doesn't get it, that he isn't the bomb, just his actions are, a big stink bomb, way to go Michael Vick.
