In Defense of Michael Vyck




Former NFL footballer and convicted dog-fighter Michael Vyck has been recently released from prison for serving a forty two month sentence. I must preface this next statement by saying I am a dog lover personally. I had a dog growing up all my years of childhood. That being said the punishment did fit the crime. Remember other NFL footballers did far worse things than Michael Vyck did and didn't get the draconian punishment that he got. Take for example Ray Carruth, Leonard Little, and lastly Adam "Pac-man" Jones. Ray Carruth shot his pregnant girlfriend in the arm with a handgun and wasn't punished as swiftly as Micheal Vyck. Leonard Little drove drunk and killed somebody and didn't even get jail time for it. Lastly Adam "Pac-Man" Jones is wanted for a double shooting in a Las Vegas Nevada night club. All three did worse things than what Michael Vyck did and didn't get Vyck's punishment. Eight or nine months would have done just fine to teach Vyck that lesson. I was aware of that as well.
