Sometimes I just help but wonder why people that are so blessed just throw their lives away. Earlier this year when Michael Vicks' brother Marcos Vick had not only troubles on the field but also in his personal life, I asked myself why didn't Michael put some sense into his brother to shape up.Now all the pieces seem to fall together. You can take the thug out of the streets and onto a football field, but you can never take the thug out of the man. For many of us that grew up in tough neighborhoods, I'd like to think that this helped us to rise above it all and to fight to no longer be a part of that world. We take advantage of all opportunities we have to succeed at all costs to not live such lives of poverty.
Michael and Marcos had opportunities that none of us could ever dream of. Imagine a life where you are blessed with the athletic ability to play quarterback in the National Football League. Now continue to imagine a life where you are Michael Vick and you rush 1,000 yards a season as a quarterback! On top of it all an ability to make $130 million dollars. I'd do it for as much as I need to live if I had the ability!
The Vick brothers and Pac Man Jones and the like just do not seem to understand what it takes to truly be an example to society. Perhaps money corrupts but folks simply take their blessings for granted and that is simply just too sad.
