He was once a pro-football icon, an idol and fan’s best
friend.
Guilty or not, Michael Vick’s status as being one of the
quickest, most athletic quarterbacks in the NFL has
plummeted.
It’s a conspiracy that’s left to be determined; but the
Atlanta Falcons star allegedly hosted what he thought was a
dog show consisting of dog torcher and fighting.
Though a different run-in with law enforcement, this is yet
another situation in which a professional athlete has ruined
one’s name and accountability.
What will it take for these renowned sports figures to hold
strong to the life they choose after signing a contract? How
can they avoid the media in negative ways?
Simple. Follow the rules.
They know they’re being watched, but they still continue to
put themselves in of position of descent.
Our hometown team, the Cincinnati Bengals are having a hard
time dealing with this as well. We just can’t seem to stop
them.
Of course, it gives media something to sink their teeth
into. We have to put this in the eyes of a fan, one who
watches and adores some of these troublesome individuals.
If the upper authorities, commissioners, managers and
coaches all think they’ve got everything under control, then
why do these so-called professionals not think before they
end their dream careers, mess up their team’s surrounding
cast or, better yet, give a distraught image to their
beloved fans?
Maybe it’s about time they’re put on a tighter leash. |
