What ever happened to athletes as role models? Sure, there are still plenty of athletes for kids to look up to, but the number of athletes who set terrible examples seems to have skyrocketed. According Clinton Portis, though, Michael Vick most certainly falls into the first category, the model citizen type. The same man who fights dogs, gives spectators the finger, and displays all manner of inappropriate behavior. In a recent interview, Portis had this to say regarding the allegations that Vick fights dogs...
"I think people should mind their business, you know. I don't know if he was fighting dogs or not, but it's his property, his dog, if that's what he wants to do, do it."
Okay so maybe he's not aware that dog fighting is a felony...
"It can't be too bad of a crime. There's a lot of stuff that's crimes, you know. It's killers on the loose over here and you want to hunt down Michael Vick over fighting some dogs." And so elegantly stated too. Put it in perspective for us Clinton...
"I think behind closed doors the same people who do all the judging are probably some of the harshest people around. They're Internet predators and everything else." I've got nothing for that gem.
Now this isn't coming from someone who knows nothing about dog fighting. Portis is well versed...
"I'm from Laurel, Mississippi, so I know a lot of backroads that got a dog fight if you want to go see it."
Wait for it...
"Then I think he got cheated. You take a positive role model...and put him behind bars for no reason, over a dog fight."
Besides the laughable notion that Michael Vick is a positive role model and should be anywhere but behind bars, I love fact that he says "put him behind bars for no reason" and then lists the reason. Thank you for defining stupid for us Clinton.
