Michael Vick Sorry?

Dear editor:

Michael Vick, after pleading guilty to charges in federal court for dog fighting, has issued the usual celebrity “mea culpa” and apologized for his actions. He was sorry for his “immature acts,” his lying to the commissioner of the NFL, for his role in a gruesome dog fighting ring, and apologized to “all the young kids out there.” He also has suddenly, and rather quickly, claimed to have “found Jesus” and turned his life over to God. Baloney.

It is obvious that the Atlanta quarterback isn’t sorry for his actions, but rather sorry for getting caught. He’s sorry that he has been suspended indefinitely from football. He’s sorry that he is going to prison. He’s sorry that he has lost a huge annual income from the Falcons. He’s sorry that the team wants the signing bonus of $22 million back. He’s sorry that he has lost all of those lucrative product endorsements. And he’s sorry that everyone sees him the way he really is.
