Vick, the scourge of Pittsburgh?

Oh come on! I know Vick is no martyr and he's sure no sweetheart.  But I seriously think he's become the scapegoat for all things wrong with professional sports culture over talking to Pittsburgh.  Has everyone forgotten the murderers?  the drug dealers?  the guys who shoot themselves in clubs?  or flagrantly disrespect the law?  How about the fact that the vast majority of professional athletes live it up like kings and then go bankrupt immediately after retirement?  I don't even mean offense when i say, they're idiots.  Why the big deal that won't die in Vick?  Why The Donald, MJ, or OJ?  Bread and Circus.

I'm not defending Vick.  I do attempt to apply principle to my life.  Principle and Virtue.  Principle suggests the NFL, NBA, MLB, and a host of others are full of bad people doing bad deeds all the time.  But I still think forgiveness is a virtue.  And Vick at least did his penance.

Jesus Huerta de Soto

Simply put, Huerta de Soto is the best explainer of these concepts I've encountered.  This is basically an entire semester of lectures but well worth it.
