Michael Vick Owes Many Millis

Published by Marcus Vanderberg on Tuesday, July 8, 2008 at 11:14 am.

Michael VickMichael Vick has officially hit rock bottom.

The imprisoned quarterback filed for bankruptcy protection in Virgina, with documents claiming Vick owes creditors between $10-$50 million.

It’s hard to pay back millions in debt when you’re making 12 cents an hour washing pots and pans.

In the court papers, it shows the debt includes part of the Atlanta Falcons signing bonus that the team is trying to recover from Vick.

Can things get any worse for Vick, who still has at least 12 more months in prison?

Let’s hope this doesn’t mean that Vick will become the NFL’s version of Mike Tyson, playing football way past his prime just to make a dollar or two.

Just say no to football after the age of 35, Mike.

The courts make it seem like they are doing the public a big favor by putting mike in jail for dog fitting. Everyday they have people who work in the dog pound that kill dogs everyday and they call it legal. It’s sad when this man looses everything he as worked for over some dogs. You have stars with DUI and hit and runs, and they go to rehab, but let a black person do anything and it’s straight to jail. Everyone has read about child molestors who get away with more crimes, and mostly because they are white. They are wasting time with cases like this. I don’t think he should have to give his signing bonus back, because it was a signing bonus. It’s sad when I read other black people happy that this man is loosing his fortune, because of dogs. I think when he gets out there will be a lot of people supporting him, and he will get his life back in order. Don’t judge him if you have never walked in that man shoes.

Yo i don’t feel mike should have to pay his money back. But he wouldn’t have been in this if he would have kept his nose clean. He’s a BLACK man making millions and is very famous. So when u get in trouble for something small as dog fighting, Knowing that white treat their dogs better than their kids. That he was going to jail. Not because he was killing or fighting dogs. But because he was a famous rich black man!

In essence, Mike knew better and when you know better, obviously you are “capable” of doing better. Not all have the gumption to do better when they know better. Nevertheless, a very small part of me feels sorry for this man, because he’s only human, but the crime that he committed was exceedingly stupid and he’s too old to not know how to watch what he does, especially as a celebrity with millions. Sure, you can say that officials are picking on him because he’s famous and “black,” but he’s no King Tut. By interpretation, he’s a grown ass man that made an uneducated move that cost him dearly. Truly, I know that Mike will gain resilience after his release and I know that he will come out “much smarter.” So good luck and God bless you Mike.

Also, although the state wanted his money and simply wasn’t trying to make an example out of Mike, that doesn’t alter the fact that he screwed himself by participating in something illegal that could damage him and inevitably it did. Not just black people, but rich people, should be much smarter than they are, because predators are out there just waiting to grab their money. So to those future millionaires reading this, learn from other people’s experiences, not your own.

Wow Mike Vick is still in freaking jail that’s wrong, hospital workers get
away with allowing a patient to die on the floor like an animal and their
only punisment is being fire or supended. Mike going to be alright
he still got millions….

I don’t think it’s fair @ all to take every things that a man has already worked for in no matter what the situation is especially a well-known man like Michael Vick who I believed is the best QB during his NFL career. That’s my word for your W/P. You know who U r. I need some justice for Michael Vick. It’s really not fair at all your. You could either read it or ignore it because that will not change my mind.



bob Said on

i think mike vick will be aight after he gets out cuz if he there will be a team thats gonna wanna sign him if its not as a QB itll be as a slot WR



Tyler smith aka Tmoney Said on

mane money is not everything and as long as he continues to believe in god and grow in faith than god will help him to overcome this. he saint hit rock bottom he just hit a temporary setback but god is an awesome god and he is good all the time so michael vick is in gods hands so mike vick aint got nuttin 2 worry about.



Sabrina Said on

Those who are without sin…please cast the first stone. Michael will be fine. A mistake has been made and he is paying for it. He has an incredible talent and will once again prevail. We must all learn from our mistakes and hopefully he has. It is so sad and heartbreaking to see him like this. Let us continue to pray for one another.

Sunshine Said on

I don’t understand BET. They publish so much negativity about Black people. The feed garbage to other blacks about a black person and another black person adds on to it and pass it around. Black on Black just anit cool.
