We have decided to come up with a limited edition t-shirt line that address our thoughts on the on going saga of Michael Vick against the backdrop of the New Orleans drama. Though we do not intend to make light of Michael Vick's crimes, we tend to look at them more as errors of judgment than actual crimes. As much as he deserves, his punishment, we have noticed that the media seems to be only too eager to tear him apart, while we complacently cheer on, yet all of us have failed to fight and highlight the predicaments and actual crimes committed against the residents of New Orleans.
Michael Vick t-shirt highlighting the hypocrisies in society and the biases and misguided focuses of the today's media. Let the world know that there are more important issues at stake, and life (Human) worth more saving, and way more available than dog's. While the media trips over itself in a frenzy to crucify Michael Vick (not that his case should be taken lightly), thousands of humans (not dogs) are still living in worse conditions in New Orleans!
Let us concentrate our energies as much to saving human lives, and show as much care as we do for dogs. Let's put our energies for more worthy causes.
Yes, Vick was wrong and should face his judgment, but is this the greatest inhuman act of the times? Aren't people more if not equally important?
There also seems to be a misguided notion that sports starts are not thankful for us giving us the chance to perform for us! I have often wondered why such envious views exist among us. I mean, you would think that the work they do is way to easy, or rather a privilege.... yet we pride ourselves with doctrines of equal opportunity and shout ourselves hoarse in right to Work demonstrations. Isn't it their right to work (in sports)? If it were as privileged and as easy as we seem to suggest, won't we all be qualified to play? Let's accepts that talents and God given gifts are not equal, and are not privileges, but mostly a result of ones personal efforts and dedication to their goals. Does anyone tell you owe them for your personal efforts at work? What makes us think that Athletes are their to be role models to our kids for our own failures in raising our own? Why don't we consider ourselves as role models? Is it because we consider ourselves as failures? Most athletes, just want to earn a living for themselves and their families, not unlike any of us. They might not even enjoy their job as much as we think they do.... I mean would you enjoy a job that give you a lifespan of about 50 yrs? Let stop judging due to our own jealousies and inadequacies. We make mistakes at work too.... athletes are bound to too. Their big salaries are deserved..... mostly on the grounds that each one of us as the opportunity to earn them....BUT, LET THE BEST MAN WIN!
