Just heard Vick's comments in full. I thought the "cut your hair" part of his comments would've been the worst of it. I was wrong.
Not only is Vick dabbling into the "responsibility politics" arena with the hair comments, he practically messed up Kaep's chances of getting a job by saying--on national television--that its because of Kaep's production that he isn't getting a job. Any objective person who does even a tiny bit of research knows that's bullshyt.
Then he's trying to related his situation to Kaep's, even though their situations are
completely different. Vick was convicted of a crime, went to jail, and is a convicted felon, and thus HAD to change his image. Kaep broke no laws, isn't a criminal, and even his protest was simply taking a damn knee. Kaep's hair and "image" has nothing to do with why he's not getting a job. Neither is production, which was solid, all things considered.
I'm not sure Vick entirely understands the fukkery he started with those comments. Either way, that was extremely foul of him to say those things, especially on national tv. Add that to Vick's personal history and that's some high-grade foul shyt he did.
Very disappointing and another reminder that a lot of those athletes many folks look up to are not to be relied upon outside of them playing their respective sports. The strong majority of them don't give a damn about the black community and are strictly for self.
