Don T Try To Tell Black Folks That The Outrage Surrounding Michael Vick Isn T About Race

Evan F. Moore is a culture/entertainment writer with the Chicago Sun-Times. Evan attended Donald Trump’s Chicago rally and lived to tell about it.

And the bio for a dueling petition from the same website named “Do NOT remove Michael Vick as Pro Bowl Captain,” which has about 295,000 supporters, states: “The same people who will preach about forgiveness for injustices against human life will hold grudges in regards to animals. Forgiveness is forgiveness.”

I didn’t think so. And one of their former employees admitted in the ESPN documentary that the outrage would’ve been different if Peyton Manning—a white quarterback—had participated in dogfighting instead of Vick. 

ESPN’s 30 for 30 documentaries on Vick’s life and career will likely continue to intensify the debate about his place in history.
