That's true, but the article referring to the Miami airport "incident" is titled [ QUOTE ]
Vick water bottle at airport may have had marijuana.
[/ QUOTE ]
If he wouldn't have hesitated to dispose of the water bottle, none of this would have even happened. And what's with the secret compartment they were talking about? I guess that's just his own fault.
no my question is why has it already made national news? Would it not be this way for any other player?
sounds like he asked to take the water bottle onto the aircraft since nothing was in it, they said no, so they had a conversation about it and then he threw it away
does that even make anyone look twice if it's not Mike Vick??
would it make national news on CNN if Matt Schaub did the same thing? no...it wouldn't
because he don`t have the reputation of being a thug. My whole point
hahaha you can guarantee if Peyton Manning, Tom Brady or Drew Brees did the same thing it would be national news...but they'd be quick to do a retraction once proved otherwise
Indeed, I can agree with that.
Though he doesn't have a long list of crimes against him, Michael Vick is (and yes, unfortunately) commonly viewed as a "thug," and the reputation of his idiotic brother obviously hasn't helped things.
Just the honest truth. I don't hate Michael Vick, but I don't like him all that much, either. It's just personal preference, and in the end - to be 100% honest - it doesn't matter and it won't change a thing. He's still getting paid to play football: something nearly all of us could only dream of doing.

how is he a thug?? because he's in the spotlight?
No, just his image has been tarnished in various ways. Just as RollTide sees him as a thug, and I somewhat see him as a thug, and many others probably do as well. It's just a bad image that has been cast over time. He's not necessarily a bad person or even a bad player, he's just both lucky and not so lucky - again, in various ways that even I can't begin to explain.
so you'll admit you see him as something he is not?
