How did the public and the media react to Vick's crimes?
The mainstream media has seized the opportunity to demonize Vick to the extreme, even calling him a “fascist.”
What argument does the author make about addiction?
He said that addictions would be treated with diverse methods ranging from medical to re-education, not incarceration.
What does the author say is the difference between Black athletes and White Athletes?
With white athletes, if they did something wrong, the story would be a come and go kind of thing. With Black athletes, their stories would dominate the media.
What hypocrisy does the author bring up?
The fact that police were able to kill pets that were separated from their owners but Vick got into trouble for it was hypocrisy.
What reference does the author make about Bush and Cheney?
He talks about how they were not arrested for killing so many Iraqis, Afghanistan, and U.S soldiers.
Re-read the last paragraph of the article. Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Why?
I disagree in the sense that Michael Vick could have stopped what he was doing as he is a millionaire and did not need to do what he did.
