Some defendants are fortunate to have respected citizens speak on their behalf, Michael Vick has clowns like Deion “Neon” Sanders come to his defense.

“What a dog means to Vick might be a lot different than what he means to you or I. Hold on, don’t start shaking your head just yet. Listen to me.

Some people kiss their dogs on the mouth. Some people let their dogs eat from their plate. Some people dress their dogs in suits more expensive than mine, if you can believe that.

And some people enjoy proving they have the biggest, toughest dog on the street. You’re probably not going to believe this, but I bet Vick loves the dogs that were the biggest and the baddest. Maybe, he identified with them in some way.

You can still choose to condemn him, but I’m trying to take you inside his mind so you can understand where he might be coming from. ”

From Deion’s column that he wrote for The News-Press

Dressing a pooch in an expensive suit in one thing, electrocuting a dog is another. Michael Vick has been charged not only with being the ringleader of a dogfighting club, but also of killing dogs in brutal and sadistic ways.

According to Deion’s perverted value system it’s all about street cred; Vick was only proving he is the baddest dude on the streets by killing and torturing dogs.

“I believe Vick had a passion for dogfighting. I know many athletes who share his passion. The allure is the intensity and the challenge of a dog fighting to the death. It’s like ultimate fighting, but the dog doesn’t tap out when he knows he can’t win.”

Deion also seems to be arguing that it’s dogfighting is OK, because there are many athletes involved in this despicable sport.

Deion, you idiot, Vick doesn’t have a “passion” for dogfighting. Painting is a passion, writing is a passion, dogfighting is a sickness and it’s also a felony in most states.

Deion, no thanks but I don’t want to get into the mind of a sadist like Vick, and I also have no desire to get into the mind of an idiot like yourself.
