ESPN: Philadelphia Eagles' Michael Vick recipient of courage award

[anava]

"I've overcome a lot, more than probably one single individual can handle or bear," Vick said. "You ask certain people to walk through my shoes, they probably couldn't do. Probably 95 percent of the people in this world because nobody had to endure what I've been through, situations I've been put in, situations I put myself in and decisions I have made, whether they have been good or bad.

"There's always consequences behind certain things and repercussions behind them, too. And then you have to wake up every day and face the world, whether they perceive you in the right perspective, it's a totally different outlook on you. You have to be strong, believe in yourself, be optimistic. That's what I've been able to do. That's what I display."

This is disgusting.

That piece of trash doesnt deserve anything.

"I've overcome a lot, more than probably one single individual can handle or bear," Vick said.

Only this generation can call itself a victim in the face of dealing with the consequences of it's own criminal actions. Awards may mean nothing, but the implications of this kind of delusion means plenty about where we're heading.

Wait a minute...what exactly is so devastating that he's overcome? Going to jail? It's his fault he went in the first place.

What exactly has he shown courage about? Cause he came back to the NFL to get paid loads of money to play a few snaps a game? Wow. Super courage there.

I can't even imagine what they were even thinking giving this guy any kind of award.

Two words: karmic retribution. It's coming, Philadelphia.

I don't understand it at all either
