Title: Come back to bite you in the…
The controversy surrounding this image is about animal cruelty and how fame can work negatively. Michael Vick was imprisoned for dog fighting and this image shows a dog that bit him while he was playing quarterback. The people who would think this image is most controversial are fans of Michael Vick and football. It shows that even though he is all done with his prison the negative image is still present for him and NFL players. Now every time people think of Mike Vick they think of his dog fighting conviction and not him as a quarterback. As a football fan I feel this image goes too far. If the same crime committed by Vick was committed by a normal person there would not be protests and animal rights groups pushing for a harsher sentence. I defiantly don’t approve of dog fighting and have a dog myself but I think the Vick situation was blown way out of proportion. People who are against animal cruelty would like this image because it shows Vick with a wound that would be lifelong. This image shows a dog getting revenge on Vick.
i think this image is controversial to people who have a love for dogs, and for people who like vick. granted, what he did was wrong, he got way too much publicity for it. you did a good job keeping the blog short and sweet and to the point.
ReplyDeleteI think that this image is controversal for anybody, football fans, players, and animal rights activists alike. But like you said the media is took the situation wayy out of hand! Many other people do dog fighting, its a way for them to make money, even though its not rightm but when they get caught, its not all over the news, and people arn't saying stuff about it for years and years after. nice job!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Danielle and Zoe in that this affects a lot of people. I also agree that the media took it way out of hand. However animal rights groups, and the like, wait for exactly these situations to act on. It would have come out this badly for anyone else who is famous.
