I haven't read this whole thread, so I don't know if it's been posted, But IMHO it's not because vick is black.
1) From what I understand his (fake)boys snitched on him, he's rich, even if he didn't want to he should have payed them off to keep their mouth shut. Then he wouldn't be facing some of the charges against him. It might have worked. They would come out richer than they've ever been, and they were going to jail anyway, so...
2)He did terrible things to animals. Whenever mistreatment to animals gets brought up, it touchs a lot of people.
3) As far as the snoby rich bltches, their charges don't compare to his in the public eye, but they did get as much, if not more press. Just like several black players who got off time and time again. Remember dwight gooden? Michael Irwin, etc...
So come on fellas don't use race in this.
