The growing list of celebrities clamoring to join the Michael Vick Fan Club - still a very short, moronic list - has another new member: Glenn Plummer.
The Showgirls star went off on a passionate defense of the disgraced Vick while clubbin' at Les Deux last night. He said, quote:
"$h!t, nigg@s been fighting dogs since we were born!"
Way to keep it real. Dog.
Channeling his inner Whoopi Goldberg and Stephon Marbury, Plummer went on to explain that there's "a million people" fighting dogs, and that:
"They catch Michael Vick and they just want to put him on the spotlight, you know what I'm sayin'? Go find out who really doing it!"
Actually, Michael Vick was really doing it. That's why he was, you know, indicted and pled guilty to funding the dogfighting ring, and is going to prison.

its really sad for the black community tht so many blacks have stood up for michael vick like they have. There are so many intelligent black people out there but the media won't show them because what's going to get more press; Blacks being ignorant and supporting Michael Vick? Or blacks saying damning things towards him? New York Knicks point guard Stephon Marbury even stated that he was under the assumption that dog fighting was a sport. It seems like you can take the brother out of the hood, but you can't take the hood out of the brother.

What's sad is a hockey players kills his best friend in a car accident in Atlanta and gets off with a slap on the wrist. A football player gambles in the privacy of his own home and get slapped in the pocket,face,and anywhere else haters can think of. More white men hunt animals and kill them, my bad, they suppose to do it during "hunting season" and then it's ok. Whatever!!!! Focus on some real news and leave Vick the hell alone.

To Michael Vick - I admire the way that you have conducted yourself during this ordeal. Clearly you did wrong, and clearly you know that now. This dark moment will pass for you. If you make the effort, you can emerge a better man from these troubles. I believe that you will. Good luck brother.

Let me begin by saying this is not about Michael Vick although I believe the sentence he received was rathr harsh. Thirs is about the attire Michael Vick word at his sentencing, December 10, 2007. He was dessed in an outfit similar to that worn by individuals who worked on chain gangs. If my grandparents were alive and witnessed his attire as it flashed across TV screens in headlines they would have been somewhat alarmed and saddened. His attire would be a reminder of the abuses some of their friends and family members experinced while workfing on chain gangs. As a child I often quietly listened as my grandparent, neighbors and family members discussed individuals who worked on chain gangs and the abuses they often suffered.
A chain gang was a group of prisoners chained together to perform physiclly challenging labor such as chopping stones along a highway. Single ankle shackles with short lengths of chains were attached to lengths of chains knows as leg irons. Some of the chains weighed 20 pounds. The outfit Vick wore was similar to the outfits worn by individuals who worked on chain gangs.
Although what a peson wears to court is the judge's decison I question his requiring Vick to wear attire similar to that often worn by individuals who worked on chain gangs. The only things missing were the shackle and chain. What was his motive? Was he attempting to send a silent message? If that were the case, the message was not only sent to Vick but also to those who remembered those chain gangs. I continue to question the attire Vick wore to court. When ever a mention of Vick is made in an article or on a TV screen he is shown wearing that outfit. At a Falcons game later that evening some wore oufitsts which imitated the outfit worn by Vick. I question the judge's lack of sensitivity and motives. A concerned Black American

Who has not done anything wrong in life that they are sorry for!? Yes he was wrong for what he did but I'm not going to turn my back on him because of that. The man is human. Everyone makes mistakes. This time in prison will do something for Vick that it has not done for a lot of people "change him" . Vick has missed and will miss his time on the field. He wants that back. Everyone deserves a 2nd chance. Murders and rapest get 2nd chances Vick needs that chance. He can't change the past but he shape a better future. Michael Vick has my support unless he proves other wise. He will come out of this situation a better person. Vick I'm on your side .

When it comes to Michael Vick, I do think the sentence was a little harsh. However, when someone does something that they know is wrong, whatever it may be, they deserve to pay the consequences for it. For Michael Vick, he had a lot to lose, so maybe he should have been smarter than he was to risk it all on betting money to watch dogs kill each other. I think it goes for all athletes, celebrities, whatever. If you want to be in the world's spotlight, then maybe you need to hold yourself to a higher standard. Whether you wanted to be a role model or not doesn't matter. You are one so grow up and act like a responsible adult. No one is perfect. people do make mistakes, but just because someone makes a mistake doesn't mean that they don't have to pay for it and learn from it. Hopefully, Michael Vick won't be like most celebrities and go back to doing stupid and illegal garbage just because they think they should be able to get away with whatever they want because they are rich, or famous. If I were Michael Vick, I would be ashamed that I just told all my fans that I don't care about the law, about animals, or about being any kind of role model for the kids who look up to me. He didn't say it with words, he said it with his actions and I hope he's learned something. When it comes to being able to play football again, I don't really care if he does or he doesn't. But if you go with the history or professional sports in this country, I don't think he'll have a problem playing again. The leagues, owners and management have shown time and time again that they don't care what you do, whether it's legal or not, or whather it's cheating or not. As long as the public wants to see you throw a ball around, they'll let you play. I think whether Michael Vick plays again says nothing much about him, but it will say a lot about what matters to Americans, and it obviously isn't whether someone is an upstanding person or not. It's all about who makes the most money, so we'll let drug addicts and felons be the role models for our children. And we wonder why there are young people who "graduate" high school and still cannot read... Of, that's right, they played football! Reading, being able to hold down a real job, and NOT commiting felonies means nothing as long as you can throw a ball.

I did forget to add that if Michael Vick does become a better person through all of this, than I support him wholeheartedly. I am all about giving someone a second chance if they earn it. I hope he comes through this a better person and I wish him good luck and I would support him playing football again, especially if he sticks it out and works hard to earn back what he lost.
