For the same reason many many African Americans danced and cheered in the street when O.J. Simpson was set free. If I am racist for pointing that out, well, sorry.
They stick up for Vick, for the same reason every other rapper and Afro-American got upset when we originally thought R. Kelly was instantly going to prison for raping and pissing on a 12 year old girl. They really got upset, blaming umm corporate America. WTF? The only black man who had the balls to call him out was Dave Chappelle.
Embattled Atlanta Falcon Michael Vick has a friend — and fellow doggie disrespecter — in Stephon Marbury.
“I think we don’t say anything about people who shoot deer or shoot other animals,” the Knick point guard told Capital News 9, an Albany TV station. “You know, from what I understand, dogfighting is a sport. It’s just behind closed doors.
“I think it’s tough that we build up Michael Vick and then we break him down.”
Vick agreed last week to plead guilty to federal dogfighting and conspiracy charges.
Some of Vick’s teammates shared Marbury’s support.
“Mike is very human,” Alge Crumpler, who who came into the NFL at the same time as Vick, said. “I think this whole ordeal has kind of dehumanized him for the last couple of months. But he’s hurting. I do know that. That’s a fact. He is hurting.”
