Jamie Foxx Defends Michael Vick Dog Fighting With Racism Charge


Disgraced NFL star Michael Vick, who is expected to serve jail time for his
involvement in illegal dog fighting matches, has been defended by
singer/actor Jamie Foxx.
Atlanta Falcons quarterback Vick was indicted by a federal grand jury for
"conspiracy to travel in interstate commerce in aid of unlawful activities
and to sponsor a dog in animal fighting venture" last month (Jul07) and has
said he will plead guilty in court next week (27Aug07).

While Foxx condemns cruelty to animals, he believes Vick did not realise the
implications of his sponsorship of the dog fighting ring.

He says, "It's a cultural thing, I think. Most brothers didn't know that,
you know. I used to see dogs fighting in the neighborhood all the time. I
didn't know that was Fed time. So, Mike probably just didn't read his
handbook on what not to do as a black star."
Fox goes on to say, "I know that cruelty to animals is bad, but sometimes
people shoot people and kill people and don't get time.

I think in this situation, he really didn't know the extent of it, so I
always give him the benefit of the doubt."

Vick faces a potential of 12 to 18 months in prison when he is sentenced.

Thank you for reinforcing my belief that no matter how famous you are,
you can still be a stupid race-apologizing jackass.
