Michael Vick Too?!

          Sports Illustrated argues that Michael Vick apologized for his actions of dog fighting. Also that dog fighting was an immature act. Sport Illustrated develops this claim by first exploring Michael Vick's speech at a news conference outside the U.S. District Court on Virginia. Sports Illustrated shows the way Vick feels towards the situation and it impacted him and his career as the Falcons quarter back. Lastly, the author explains the charges Michael Vick was given towards the conviction of killing six to eight pit bulls and supplying money for gambling on each fight. Sports Illustrated’s purpose of the article is to inform that even a successful football player can get caught up in the distraction of money. In the end distractions come with consequences.
