It's right there in black and white, on page 9 of the papers Michael Vick and his attorneys filed in federal court yesterday. Vick agrees and stipulates that he himself helped kill dogs. Damn. The exact words are "collective efforts." Vick admits he participated in this ruthless act with his co-defendants. It's no longer an allegation or simply the word of some ex-friends ratting him out to save their own hides. It's Michael Vick, star NFL quarterback, admitting he endorsed the killing of dogs by methods including hanging and drowning. Wow. That's the showstopper for a lot of us, not whether he's guilty of a conspiracy charge, not even that his dogfighting enterprise involved illegal gambling activities.
Of course, it's all one big sordid mess, from the dog killings to the gambling and lying about everything, which led NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to announce yesterday afternoon that Vick would be suspended indefinitely. Of course, he needs to be sent away for a while. The statements of facts are even worse than many of us expected. Turns out it's just as the co-conspirators said, just as Vick's estranged daddy said when he told The Washington Post and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution this week that his boy has been involved in dogfighting for years.
