When Michael Vick throws a sweet, heaven-kissed touchdown pass to Algie Crumpler, the media does not pay attention. Only when he scrambles like a scared slave running to freedom or when he participates in traditional urban gaming activities does anyone raise a stink.
Am I excusing Mr. Vick’s actions and recasting his horrific cruelty as an issue of race, poverty and crime endemic to marginalized black populations, thrust upon us by the dominant white discourse? Some questions are best left unanswered … but yes, there’s a strong likelihood I am doing that.
Consider this: If the police caught Brett Favre running a dolphin-fighting ring out of his pool, where dolphins with spears attached to their foreheads fought each other to the death, would they bust him? Of course not. They would get his autograph, commend him on his tightly-spiraled forward passes, then bet on one of his dolphins. (Probably the dolphin that can do the most flips — those dolphins would possess stronger necks, more skill manipulating their death spears and something like 3-1 odds.)
Ricci:
I wonder how AL feels about THIS...

Funny thing, I bet Vick should have seen this little "toon" before he invested (ROFL.. INVESTED) in a dog fighting ring. I guess his next investment will be a pot farm.

This is fucked up you have a blackman with money adn you send him to jail. If you look up a recent trial in SC you will learn that a group of white people who were letting hunting dogs kill innocent hogs but yet they dismissed all the charges what the fuck is up with that. P.S fuck Al Sharpton Uncle Tom
8/20/2008 8:49 PMRicci:
NOTE: Just as Al is clearly a biggot, every white person on this board who uses the letters "OJ" to represent some inner problem they have with a man being found NOT GUILTY who happens to NOT be the same color as ROBERT BLAKE, is illustrating their own form of biggotry and racism.
8/23/2007 11:34 PMIf you arent a racist, saying OJ instead of Robert Blake, should make you seriously question if you really ARENT a racist. Two men, same circumstances, same large amounts of evidence, same wealth, same verdict. Find something else about both men to hate, but NOT that they got off.
Stanley Hunter:
Sharpton, I have always felt that you were an opportunistic bigot. Your statements about Vick confirm it. The statement about Favre was ridiculous at best, and you know it. Grandstander to your constituents.
8/23/2007 11:37 PMYou and the other red-neck black bigots want special treatment for blacks. But if I go into a black area at night and am mugged, the police will tell me I was stupid to be there. If, on the other hand, go into a white area and someone looks crosseyed at you, you start screaming bias. You guys want it both ways.
steve EVfuture:
Dear right-wingers who jumped at this story as an excuse to go after Al Sharpton with racist rantings. Do you ever apologize for anything? Read over your sickening posts and see yourselves for who you are.
P.S. Thanks for that Iraq War. Support the Troops....
8/29/2007 6:08 AMthanks for the iraq war?:
Yea if clinton would have take out osama when we had him in our sights we would still have two tall buildings in new york. Go support Obama and study before you open you stupid mouth

excuse me, i'd comment but i'm too busy throwing up.
8/21/2007 12:06 AMJoseph John McCauley:
Wow are you an asshole.
8/21/2007 12:58 AMAlicia Elaine Dorris:
I wish with all my heart that I had not read this. I wish I had never heard of Michael Vick and of the "Reverend" Al Sharpton. I wish with all my heart that I were Hispanic, Caucasion , Asian -----any race but African American, cause Michael Vick has embarrassed me and broken my heart; Al Sharpton has disillusioned me and has made me sorry I'm black.
8/21/2007 12:16 AMAnimal lover:
Michael Vick is a piece of crap and so are you for defending him; please Sharpton: go far far away. And by the way, I am a proud African American who is sick of scum like Vick and hypocritical ogres like yourself.
8/21/2007 12:05 AMRiteaidbob:
More down with the brother BS. Whitie wins again!
P.S. O.J. is the guiltiest man on the planet.
8/20/2007 10:25 PMDeath Threat Victim:
Maybe more people would start taking Al Sharpton seriously if he didn't play the Politically Correct game of only protesting against easy targets. Why is it that Al Sharpton is perfectly OK with having famous and successful black men like Chuck Berry and Jack Johnson thrown in jail for violating the Mann Act, when a proven guilty rich white boy like Eliot Spitzer avoids punishment? Is Sharpton not aware that the Spitzer family has a decades long tradition of being members of the racially biased Harmonie Club on Manhattan's Upper West Side? Why is Al Sharpton pulling his punches against Eliot Spitzer, the corrupt New York official who put more young black men in New York State prisons using Rockefeller's drug laws in the last year than have died in Iraq, Afghanistan, and gang shootings over the last decade. Hey Al, why not call for a Special Prosecutor to examine Eliot Spitzer's decades long business with the prostitution wings of a few Organized Crime families? Only a special prosecutor would be able to uncover the links between the $500 Million dollar Spitzer family fortune and the organized crime complaints which Eliot Spitzer suppressed when he was NY Attorney General.

This is fucked up you have a blackman with money and you send him to jail. If you look up a recent trial in SC you will learn that a group of white people who were letting hunting dogs kill innocent hogs and people were standing around watching and even betting money but yet they dismissed all the charges what the fuck is up with that. P.S fuck Al Sharpton Uncle Tom

Um...folks...do you really think Al Sharpton wrote this? Take a quick look at the other "bloggers", and some of their entries.
8/21/2007 4:25 AMStan:
Wow Al. You are the most delusional person in this country. Just that you'd write this drivel proves to
8/24/2007 5:08 PMeveryone how insane you have become. I'll forward this to everyone I know so they can see upfront how ridiculous
you truly are.
Greg:
Okay, Imus should never work again for calling a bunch of girls nappy headed ho's but Vick is a victim because he's black. Al the hypocrite as usual. Don't you have a riot to start some where or a white cop to kill you racist. Vick's getting off easy. He should be put in a cage with a bunch of dogs with a steak around his neck. If he survives this, then he can play in the NFL. If he refuses to fight back....well, his life isn't worth crap and he should hung, just like the dog he is.
8/23/2007 10:46 PMFin:
Al, you are a joke. I just want to know what he is innocent of (in your eyes). Is he innocent becasue he is
8/23/2007 10:42 PMblack? Or because he is a black quarterback? The Brett Fare comment proves to the rest of the readers...
that you are nothing more than a black man who uses the color of his skin to be heard. You're an idiot. I'm
not a racist. I have many black male and female friends that I hold dear to my heart. But you... you have no
white friends that you hold dear. You have white America near you to fill your pockets and bank accounts.
If not for the Brett Favre's of the world, or Donovan McNabb's of the world... the sport would be nothing.
Michael Vick is a terrible QB. You love him because he is a darkie. Who are you bs'in. You hate McNabb
because he is a 'company man'. What’s the matter... McNabb not holding up his fist wrapped in a black
glove? Problem for ya, huh? You are an ignorant black man... who keeps the racial divides going strong.
You are part of the problem, Mr. Ignorant Black Man... not part of the solution. OJ is innocent, right?
PRCalDude:
THIS IS A PARODY SITE. Don't any of you people know how to detect parody? It's funny, get it?
8/24/2007 4:17 PMScott:
Al if you believe that Michael Vick is innocent then you are just as dumb as he is. I believe the best
punishment for Vick is take those 53 pitbulls put them in a pit and throw his sorry ass in with them along
with yourself and Jesse Jackson. If you all survive then you can resume living your lives.
Michael Vick, Al Sharpton, and Jesse Jackson are the biggest pieces of shit to roam the planet.
If Vick is innocent then so is DON IMUS.
8/23/2007 10:49 PMMatthew:
Shaprton continues his racist talk. This post is nonsense.
8/23/2007 11:16 PMmalcolm:
*YAWN*
nationofislamsportsblog had been doing this for awhile now.
why don't you just straight up steal their posts?
8/27/2007 7:13 PMMyrrlyn:
And I know that this is a parody. Al Sharpton would never have this eloquence. But I still want to shoot him.
8/26/2007 6:30 PMMichael:
You are probably the most wrong person on the face of the planet and it disgusts me.
Also, look at your example. You start it with Consider This, and then just give your opinion with absolutely no proof or any justification, just a bunch of mindless dribble. Why even consider it?
And do you realize how strongly people are in this country about animals? If anyone famous, I don't care who did any such thing (even the totally ridiculous example you posted), you can safely bet PETA and anyone else would go crazy over it. I'm sorry you have such a one-track mind.
8/24/2007 12:25 AMThe Man:
Al,
You dummy. Dolphins live in salt water. Brett Favre's pool probably isn't filled with salt water! How on earth is he going to have a dolphin-with-spears fighting ring??? Get real and relevant!
8/24/2007 12:05 AMJB:
HAHAHA - well that's a minute out of my life I'll never get back. Even you can't really be THIS stupid can you Al? Please take your "traditional urban gaming activity" and all your racially motivated "Whitey/Cracker" bullshit and go burn in Hell where you belong. And please dear "Reverand" - don't forget to take Mike Vick and OJ Simpson with you.
8/21/2007 1:26 AMjames:
Shut the *&^& up Sharpton. Your a moron !
8/23/2007 11:04 PMScott:
You must be kidding. How far you've fallen from the inspirational speaker in the 2004 democratic primaries to the irrelevance of suggesting that scumbags like Vick aren't getting a 'fair' deal. The dolphin analogy is just ridiculous. Get behind a meaningful cause--immigration, for instance--and remind us why people should listen to you.
