Michael Vick: Target Gets Bigger

For those skeptical that Roger Goodell and the NFL don't indeed have plans to "rid" the league of certain players, we offer this:

NFL security has contacted investigators in Surry County, Va., to offer its services in the investigation of illegal dogfighting at a property owned by Falcons quarterback Michael Vick, a person with knowledge of the situation told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Last time we checked, "NFL security" was not a law enforcement agency and didn't have any jurisdiction in VA. But, here they come. "Helping" law enforcement investigators with the inquisition of Michael Vick.

This is a sign, clearly, that things have gone too far in the NFL. Vick's situation is rapidly passing the point of acceptability. The flagrant dismissal of judicial fairness and due process being exercised by Goodell demands confrontation. The representatives of the NFLPA have been mum. If they are unwilling to stand up to the ever increasing gestapo tactics of the NFL's new czar, then it is time for someone else to step in as a voice on behalf of the rights of the players.

As Goodell brazenly flaunts the very principles that have allowed our justice system to be the envy of the world, a dismayed public wonders which players will be targeted next for destruction.

The idea that NFL security, an organization under the direct control of the very people attempting to run Vick out of football, is now on the scene is akin to having a sergeant at arms from the local KKK working with the FBI in tracking MLK, Jr.

It is becoming clearer and clearer that things are not going to end well for Mr. Vick. Being a Negro QB and the face of a franchise. Being, potentially, the most marketable player in the NFL. And having a "look" that old white men with fat wallets and racist inclinations find threatening have all combined to paint a target on the back of Mr. Vick.

A target that at this point, Stevie Wonder could hit from 500 yards down range.

All ready on the right? All ready on the left? All ready on the firing line.

"NFL security" are also the ones that snitched on Pacman when he visited a strip club (not a crime) the night before his meeting w/ General Goodell.

Must be some type of "black ops" death squad, I figure.

Sir, clearly, those that might argue that no conspiracy exists are fooling no one but themselves.

Why are they called "black" ops?

"Why are they called "black" ops? "

Sir, because calling them "Negro" ops would be too obvious.

donovan mcnabb... the face of his franchise...vince young..the face of his franchise...jamarcus russell now the face of his franchise...could it be that vick really is just a trouble maker getting caught up in illegal activity at a time when the league is being pulled through the mud by the questionable behavior of some of its players?
Michael Vick is not the face of the league...you have to play well to earn that...i agree that maybe the league is taking steps to rid itself of those that consistently cause a bad image.

Sir, you brought them up.

Sir, you called the actions against Vick some kind of conspiracy by the NFL to rid it of black players. I just pointed out several of the quality black athletes who are somehow thriving in what must be such a fearful environment. The problem is that you would have people think that the Michael Vick situation is the norm when in fact all the other classy athletes show it is not. Can you ever admit that some guys just may be bad guys? I mean you dont see me defending a Bill Romanowski...but you would if he was black....it just shows you for the fool you are.

Sir, showing a handful of athletes that have been smart enough to play you, and pretending they are the norm is yet another sad statement from your empty mind.

Wake up and smell the coffee.

You may hate Romo, but we think Romo was just an over enthusiastic player who would do anything to help his team win.

Even if it meant shattering a teamates eye socket.

Now, THAT is loyalty. Black or white.

Sir, it is you who brings up the handful of lowlifes and defends them to no end. It is you who would have us believe that these lowlifes are the norm. You think less of your own people than anyone else ever could.
If being productive on and off the field means these guys are somehow "playing" me then I wish more of your people would...we all would have alot less problems.

You may hate Romo, but we think Romo was just an over enthusiastic player who would do anything to help his team win.

You continue to prove how dumb you are...even if you are being sarcastic.

By the way just an observation on the subway. Group of young black kids calling each other the n-word like it was their names. Again this blatant lack of respect for each other and those around them must be the white mans fault.

Sir, excellent point!

Next time you see them doing that.

Join in and call them that name, too.

Ok?
