Vick scores, but not in the Super Bowl
After a terrible half time performance by the Black Eyed Peas, fans without seats, and ice falling from the top of the stadium pre game time. Currently, the Mayor of Dallas, Dwaine Caraway, is under fire for giving Michael Vick the key to the city.
Caraway insists he gave Vick the key "for the kids". He seems to think that Vick has completely turned his life around and can now serve as a role model to kids by telling his story.
Last time I checked it did not seem like a great idea to promote violence to young children. Although this is a "this is what NOT to do" kind of situation, it still doesn't sound like the proper way to teach children. How many kids are truly interested in dog fights at age 8?
Caraway defends his decision further by making a note that Gene Simmons got a key to the city recently for supporting the troops. However, supporting the troops and exposing young minds to dog fights are much different platforms.
Now, there are angry fans, angry members of PETA, and corrupted children...
Following the heat from the Super Bowl, it was just poorly timed.
Sorry, Dallas.
