A court abitrator ruled Michael Vic pay approximately 20 million dollars back to the Atlanta Falcons.  This was bonus money previously awarded to him.  The NFL players union is appealing the decision, but hopefully, it will not be overturned.  While this money will not benefit the siezed Pit Bulls that were used for fighting on his estate, it is a good sign that celebreties and sports figures who engage in felony activities will be held accountable for their actions. 

Judge David Doty in Minneapolis will be hearing the appeal.  Then in December Vic will recieve criminal sentencing from Judge Henry Hutson on behalf of the state of Virginia. 

To some it may seem like one man is being singled out and as a compassionate person, I feel bad for Michael Vic.  He’s lost his career, his fortune is quickly tanking, he has drug charges, he’s hated by many people, and he’s put his family through hell.  But keep in mind, he is responsible for the torture and death of dogs-many dogs.  He needs to pay the price just as anyone should.
