Say What? NFL Honors Vick, Man Who Tortured And Killed Dogs For Fun As 1 of 4 honorary captains for the 2020 Pro Bowl game
In a bizarre decision the NFL recently announced that Vick would be one of four honorary captains for the 2020 Pro Bowl game.
As one might imagine, dog lovers and other reasonable people were outraged at the NFL’s foolish decision to honor this cruel and despicable monster.
For those who do not recall, Vick made headlines in 2007 when he was arrested and charged for running an illegal dog fighting ring on his property in Surry County, Virginia. After making a deal with prosecutors, Vick was eventually found guilty of one count of killing dogs and one count of promoting dog fighting, and served a 23-month prison sentence for his crimes. MORE
In Virginia facing state dogfighting charges, Vick's involvement revealed
Vick is serving a 23-month sentence in a minimum-security federal
prison camp in Leavenworth, Kan., on a conspiracy charge relating to the
interstate dogfighting operation he helped run on a property he owned
in Surry County, Va. Vick is scheduled to be released on July 20, 2009.
Vick
is currently being held in protective custody at Riverside Regional
Jail in Hopewell, Va., until his hearing on Tuesday in Surry County
Circuit Court to plead guilty to two state charges related to
dogfighting.
The state charges -- one count of torturing and
killing dogs and one count of promoting dogfighting -- each carry a
maximum prison term of five years. But under the terms of his plea
agreement, Vick is expected to receive a three-year suspended prison
term and a $2,500 fine (which would be suspended if he pays court costs
and maintains good behavior for four years).
By resolving the
pending state charges, Vick would qualify to participate in the Federal
Bureau of Prisons re-entry program, which could enable him to serve part
of the remainder of his federal sentence in a halfway house.
