The fans pay good money to go watch the game and should be able to show their feelings toward how the team plays.

Just because you pay for something doesn’t give you the excuse to behave boorishly. I have a severe distaste for those that believe that their financial involvement of something earns them some kind of privelege or right above the rules, whether it be something as hard and fast as the law, or something slightly more subtle like etiquette.

I agree that Vicks shouldn’t have done what he did. But excusing the fans of responsibility in any regard, even in the slightest, is simply poor.

Frankly, I think the people in the crowds of our athletes and entertainers that can’t keep their mouths shut and enjoy the game are more wrong. You try being a ‘role model’ to millions of people, while enduring hateful and spiteful remarks from stupid people and see how collected you are when you are already tired and frustrated from putting forth a tremendous physical effort, and still losing.

Sports stars, entertainers, politicians, teachers should not be held responsbile for being examples for our children – as much as we would like them to be it is the parents, the proginators that need to be role models and educators. Youth today are raised by television by a generation of people who work for two incomes and pursue material fufillment. See how responsible they are in public arena now – my generation and the one that is currently following it disgusts me for the most part.

Mike Vick, in his general life is a decent role model. Simply because he has been angered should not go to discount his value as a person and the list of good works he has done with his success and fame.
