WATCH: Michael Vick Given Key To City Of Dallas, Confronted by Owner of Ex-Fighting Dog
Over Super Bowl Weekend, Eagles Quarterback Michael Vick was in Dallas where it was announced he’d received the Associated Press award for “Comeback Player of the Year.” Dallas Mayor Pro Tem Dwaine Caraway also gave Vick a key to the city – apparently, without the mayor’s approval – which has incited a minor uproar in Dallas and beyond.
Radio host Richard Hunter claims to have adopted one of Michael Vick’s ex-fighting dogs and was at the key ceremony in a media capacity. He shot this video of the presentation and his own attempt to talk to Vick about the pitbull:

Dallas Mayor Pro Tem Dwaine Caraway should be given a real treat
for giving this key that he didn’t have permission to give nor the forethought of the City of Dallas.
Dallas sucks
Michel sucks
the mayor pro tem sucks..
I just cant figure who sucks the most.
Dallas should be ashamed that they have such a important figure head
in the media that did such a stupid and careless dis justice to the city of Dallas.
Michael Vick missed an opportunity to show he’s changed. I’m so tired of seeing articles about him. It’s a damn shame that just because someone can throw a ball really well, everything is excused.
It amazes me that we continue to focus on what was done and not what is being done. Are we to only focus on the past? Time to turn the corner. We all sin (whether it is big or small, it is sin nonetheless) and I pray that Michael can only stay the course of being a positive role model for youths and resist the temptation to further sin. Let’s all pray that people of influence (whether we agree they should or shouldn’t be) continue to use their positions to be a light in a dark world that tends to focus more on the negative than the positive.
Great job Richard on adopting a dog, I hope you are giving it a great and loving home.
God bless,

It is amazing with everything going on in the world that is tragic people wish to dwell on something such as Michael Vick and the dog fighting scandal. Michael Vick paid his debt to society and he did his time. He lost millions and more than anyone could imagine unless they walked in his shoes. How many celebrities screw up and they are given another chance? Do we put a mic in Robert Downey Jr’s face and ask him what the new him would say to the old him about being crazed on drugs and being found sleeping in other people’s house? Drew Barrymore? Or Keifer Sutherland about being a drunk or Charlie Sheen about being a known coke head? No, we don’t. How about Big Ben from the Steelers, a guy who is definitely fitting the profile of a rapist and is praised for going to the Super Bowl. America has and always will enjoy scandals because they sell. There are human beings catching hell and starving, children being victimized, people losing jobs and their homes everyday and you are talking about a damn dog!! Get a life!!
I agree Rico. With everything that is going on in the world, it is tragic that people spend there time on something as trivial as football at all. I say make vick and rapist ben go away by just ignoring their stupid game altogether. Spend Sunday reading a book, playing with your kids, walking in the park or anything else more productive than glorifying felons and living out adolescent fantasies via the television. Football is nothing more than the American version of the Roman “bread and circus.”
