Athletes and celebs are still coming out & voicing their opinion on Ray Rice. We’ve heard from Evelyn Lozada – celebs – players – Chad Johnson – Ray Lewis and even President Obama. Well now Michael Vick is sharing his opinion. Report after the jump…
Via NYDN:
QB Michael Vick took on the subject Monday, sharing his unique perspective given his own sordid past.
“It’s a tough situation,” Vick told the Daily News Monday. “It’s very sensitive. I think we all got to realize as professional athletes that we are professionals. And we have to be able to maintain our poise in all situations, on and off the field. There’s just no room for that.”
If there’s anyone who has benefited from getting a second chance at football, it’s Vick. He was suspended indefinitely by the NFL in 2007 after pleading guilty to running an illegal dog fighting operation that was so ghastly, the losers were drowned, electrocuted or shot.
Vick did not say if he thought the Ravens were right to terminate Rice’s contract and cut the running back, who is from New Rochelle and later played at Rutgers.
“That’s not my decision,” Vick said. “It’s basically what the organization internally feels what the consequences should be and what they want to put up with. That’s tough man, to be put in that situation. You don’t wish that on any franchise.”
