Michael Vick On 60 Minutes

Mr. Michael Vick spoke Sunday with James Brown on his return to the NFL after the experience that most thought would break him. Openly and repentantly he discussed the time spent and jail, and reflected on what it was like to see his life downwardly spiral at his peak. Never in my twenty-nine years have I seen such a fall from grace. Even when they ridiculed Michael Jackson over the infamous molestation charges, it was after several years of questionable behavior. There has never been a single incident that has destroyed an Athlete/Entertainer in the manner in which Michael Vick was. Maybe it is because his fall was higher than most. Even When Kobe was accused of rape, he was never completely ostracized in this manner. Maybe it is because Michael Vick was found guilty. Maybe it was because this country has a sick love affair with famous people. No country in the world can build up a person and destroy them just as easily.
