The Michael Vick Case

I have heard about this case day after day, especially staying here in ATL. For those that do not know about whats going on, Michael Vick faces time in jail. Along with a group of friends, he is charged with competitive dogfighting, procuring and training pit bulls for fighting and conducting the enterprise across state lines. (Click here to read the indictment in full) It is said that the State has evidence that dogs were fighting and that the losers died in the pit or sometimes were electrocuted, drowned, hanged or shot.

I know its a little late to talk about it but I haven't seen it anywhere in the entertainment blogging world, but this does effect us hip-hop fans as a whole....especially since pitbulls are our dog of choice (i.e. DMX, Eve "Pitbull in a skirt.) Plus Vick has to make a decision whether or not he wants to put in a plea agreement before the jury convene on Monday to consider additional charges (possibly racketeering.)

The picture maybe a satire, but the topic is a serious one indeed because another promising African-American's life is on the line. He has lost his deals with Rawlings, Reebok and Nike.
