But unlike Kapernick, he has admitted what he did was very wrong, paid his price to society and moved on. Stating his hair style preferences is most certainly his prerogative -- as it is mine or yours.
I am a huge dog lover and I was appalled and really angry at what Vick did. And wished very bad things would happen to him. BUT, I am also all about repentance (which Vick has done, whether one chooses to accept it or not) and then forgiveness. I also have no issue with Kapernick wanting to state his views on the way he feels blacks are treated. I do, however, think he should have done so on his nickel - maybe a press conference he called.
FWIW, this thread, by the way, probably has a chance to wander into unacceptable territory. Just sayin' !!!
