Michael Vick Earns Less Than $300 A Month

August 22nd, 2008

The income of an imprisoned NFL star is made public.
In the wake of a bankruptcy judge’s recent decision to examine ex-NFL quarterback Michael Vick’s deteriorating estate, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that Vick earns about $277.69 per month. The former Atlanta Falcons star, who made millions in salary and endorsement deals, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy last month while imprisoned for dog-fighting. Vick confessed that he financed illegal canine competitions in his native Virginia and is suspended indefinitely from the NFL. The Journal Constitution’s report doesn’t include Vick’s hardly mentionable prison paycheck – he earns 12 cents per hour.

Why does it always have to be the race card pulled? they would have charged any other person for this same crime. Bottom line it was animal cruielty and thats against the law. It doesnt matter that vick was black! There are plenty of people of all ethnicities that get charged with this crime every day. HAS ANYONE EVER HEARD OF ANIMAL PLANET??? TAKE THE TIME TO ACTUALLY WATCH IT ONE DAY NOT JUST ONE STORY AN ACUTAL EPISODE OR 2 AND U WILL SEE THAT PEOPLE OF ALL SKIN TYPES AS WELL AS AGES ARE GUILTY OF THIS HORRIBLE CRIME!!!! ITS NOT ALWAYS ABOUT THE COLOR OF SOMEONES SKIN OR THE FAME THAT IS ATTACHED TO THEIR NAME ITS ABOUT THE SENSE THAT THE PERSON HAS AND THE COMPASSION FOR MAN KIND!!!!!



Esther Said on

Ann,

Get you head out of the sand. Stop being so niave. This man was made an example of because he is black and wealthy. WHERE DOES COMPASSION COME FOR HUMANS! DO YOU PUT AS MUCH CARE AND CONCERN INTO HUMANS IN NEED AS YOU DO ANIMALS THAT ARE BEING TORTURED? WHAT ABOUT ALL THE WOMEN BEING RAPED, CHILDREN BEING MOLESTED AND BEATEN, INNOCENT PEOPLE BEING MURDERED AND KIDNAPPED??? WHILE WE ARE CRUCIFYING THE BLACK GUY BUBBA AND EDDIE ARE HAVING DOG FIGHTS EVERY FRIDAY!!! DOG FIGHTING IS STILL GOING ON ALL OVER AMERICA.



checkinem Said on

all of you hatin on Mike Vick outta read the Haters article… in addition, most of you are or are border line racist …darn shame.



Total Said on

Ann no one is saying that they charged VIck simply because he is Black but what they are saying is that had he been a different skin color and not wealthy he would not have recieved such a harsh sentence, I have seen this over and over again when a white defendant is charged with the exact same thing as a black defendant the sentence is not the same meaning Afro Americans are treated differently in the justice system. My concern is not whether or not he should be charged and punished but that he should have been treate just like any other person. Yes I have seen Animal Planet many times and I also volunteer with an animal rescue group, and most of the dogs n specific we rescue from shelters, and we do this because most times that dogs that are not adopted will be euthanized or sold to science (for research purposes). And before you say blacks are using the “race card” try being black for one day and then you will know why they use the “race card”.

bOTTOM LINE…….vick got what he deserved and all people of all walks of life who can be so cruel to humans or animals should be punished to the max! Maybe people will think twice and make better decissions for themselves.I say no more animal research, we have other means and I say no more killing of people,children and animals. No more abuse and no more excuses.No more gassing of animals.All the forien countries free to torcher animals for one reason or another ,is sick. Compassion, where is it.Baby killers and abusers and there excuses.I say we eat too much meat for our own good and we wear unnessary fur,we have other ways to stay warm.To me all the abuse is nothing but excuses of humans.I just hope someone will stop all the pain to a hault or very close to it.If severe punishment is good for one it is good for all.



ladi b Said on

every action comes with reaction, and on another note the peach people like to build u up then tear u down similar case micheal jackson, brittany spears, ect.



Sabrina Said on

Ann,

Your probably some soccer mom and you don’t even know what “race card” means. Talk about what you know about bridge parties, charities, car pooling, etec…

Darla,

In a perfect world that would be ideal but we live in America where fools like you value animals more than people. Mike Vick was guilty and is being punished. Everybody with common sense knows it’s excessive in light of other cries. GET OVER IT!!! THERE ARE WORST CRIMES!!!



Nita Said on

I agree with Ceddy when he said Mike should have gone to trial. He should have had R. Kelly’s lawyer. Raymond your so right, we got people out here hurting other people and it’s like they care more about animals than the human being. Herman you are so right and this is why so many people who make it turn their backs per say because if they don’t what they work so hard for will be taking away cause of people who don’t want to make something for themselves, flat out LAZY. Juanita he should pay for what he has done, but how much is enough? What else can they take from him, he has nothing left? Can’t he have some type of dignity to hold on to? He admitted his wrong doing, how many others can say that they admitted their wrongs and are willing to face the consequences!!!!



Trucker Said on

YOU ANIMAL LOVERS REALLY WANT YOUR POUND OF FLESH FROM MIKE HUH???
D A M N HYPOCRITES!!!

YOU PROBABLY LET THEM SLEEP IN YOUR BED AND LICK YOU IN THE MOUTH TOO, RIGHT AFTER THEY FINISH LICKING THEIR OWN BALLS OR EATING THEIR OWN S H I T !

dudewithadollar Said on

Kellie,

you come on here all high and mighty like you know it all. you good at insulting and attempting to cut down other people with your misguided and very limited knowledge. how do you do all that while sliding down a pole in your thong, trick???your stupid sarcasm and dumb questions weren’t answered because they like you aren’t worthy of thought. and thank god your life is not based on other’s people’s affection toward you cause I suspect there is not much with a phony ghetto byotch like you. you just a chicken head pretending to be an educated female. got the nerve to correct other people’s grammar. you barely know your abc’s…please!!!



Brenda Said on

Ithink that people should mind their own business because sin is sin in the eyesight of God and those who judged will also be judged by God.



D. Alexander Said on

Sometimes we have to be humbled in order to understand what the Lord wants from us. I pray that Michael Vick has turned his life completely over to the Lord, He will sustain him and he will get through as long as he turns from his wicked ways and acknowledge that HE IS GOD!!!



Total Said on

UMlaw you say that you are Asian (yeah right) racist you are Asian you’re not.You are a coward that is for sure, When did Aisans stop committing crimes. And what else do we want Obama and I think we just may get him.



UMLaw Said on

I didn’t write the comment above. Someone is writing messages played off like i wrote them. You are a punk coward for doing this.



Tina Said on

Brenda,
Wow you speak of people minding there own buisness, & let the lord judge as you are right here in the mix judging people for there comments. Sounds kinda hypocritical to me! I wouldn’t skip church next sunday if I where you!!!

Trucker,
You sound like an uneducated hillbilly, who spends his days squirel hunting when he’s not dropping off a load! Where is your compassion for other living creatures…. not just people on t.v. who entertain you!
P.S. please spare yourself the waste of time in commenting on all your acheivements in life to try to make yourself seem less uneducated

However everyone is entitled to there opinions, this is simply mine!

There is unnecessary abuse going on all over…. half across the world, in the next town, down the street from where you live, & in your back yard towards animals, children, and one another! Everyone has there causes and are voices for certain causes! Children and animals perhaps need louder voices to stand up for them because of all the sick freaks in the world that lack something inside of them! I think anyone who can torture, neglect, or watch something suffer w/ out trying to help the situation has serious issues!



Total Said on

UMlaw if you didn’t write the comment you do have my apology and you are correct whoever wrote it is truly a corward if they to chicken to post using the name of someone else.



Sam Said on

I have to say that it hard to read some of these comments. Mike was wrong as wrong can get. He should have known better. He deserves everything that the law is dishing out to him. Instead of sponsoring these dog fights and making money or what ever he was doing with his homeboys, he should have been building a rec center of sponsoring some sort of program for jobless people. He was dead wrong! It is so funny how people are trying to argue the fact that HUNTING is the same as DOG FIGHTING. IT IS NOT PEOPLE! Vick and his boys had the dogs on chains. These animals did not have the will to run or be free or even try to survive. He had the poor animals on chains. He and his boys even sent VOLTS of ELECTRICITY through them if they did not perform well. Look like VICK is the animal. I hope he never throw a ball again as long as he lives.



Shannon Said on

Directed to Sam, if you find these comments hard to read then why bother reading them, and if you knew anything about Vick’s personal life outside of the dogfighting then you would know that he did build a recreation center, church, football camp for low income children. Now I am not saying that to suggest he was right, however this sentence does not fit the crime. Yeah he was dead wrong I agree with that,however when he serves is time he has a right to continue with his career and hopefully be a advocate for the rights of animals and support the fight against dogfighting. Michael Vick did create the sport of dogfighting, nor with him being locked up did dogfighting stop. Just wondering are you this upset with all of the dogfighters (and if you are what are you doing about it) or is it just Vick.
