Laura’s Hairball

I heard on the news today that Michael Vick and his lawyers are looking for any way around paying the Falcons back his bonus money, saying that his contract protects him from paying them back. But there are other people saying that the contract is void because he knew when he signed the contract that he was in violation of the rules. I have to say that I strongly agree with the people who are saying that he has to pay back that bonus money. He was lying when he signed the 22 million dollar contract and therefore it should no longer apply. I think that he owes the Falcons a lot more than that. He let his team down in a huge way. He was so much more than just a linebacker that nobody has heard of, he was the quarterback and the team leader. He was more than just an important person to his team, he was a role model to thousands of young children who want nothing more than to grow up and be just like him. He should have recognized the kind of position he was in and acted in a way that a role model should. I think that Michael Vick is a disgusting and sick human being and he should have a lot more consequences for his actions than just paying back his bonus money and one to five years in prison.
