The Home of The KCPokes

By now, unless you’ve been in a cave, you’ve heard about the Michael Vick situation. It has taken an interesting turn this week, with a plea agreement forthcoming. When I originally heard of the investigation I knew that it would be a case of a celebrity getting away with something that the average “Joe” would not. Then the proverbial “it” started to roll downhill, gathering speed, to a point that you did begin to wonder whether there may be justice. Given the circumstances, nothing could please me more, I thought. What was rubbing me the wrong way was the fact that more attention was being given to the racketeering, over the dog-fighting. Not that we should turn a blind eye to racketeering, and how that typically relates to organized crime, but the concept of illegal dog-fighting (like there is a legal dog-fighting) is beyond what most of us can comprehend as rational thought. In response to the recent events, HBO recently had a segment on Inside Sports regarding the underworld of dog fighting. It is definitely disturbing, but something worth watching when considering the Michael Vick situation.

No I do not have the written consent of HBO to replay this, so lets keep it on the down low…

Before and after, what are your thoughts regarding the recent turn of events?
