Can Michael Vick be trusted with Millions of Dollars?

It was reported in the media this past week that Michael Vick, the star football player who was imprisoned for his role in promoting illegal dog fighting, has been offered a new contract to once again play professional football. The contract is estimated to be worth $40 million (US).

Isn't it fascinating that due to our allowance of the current money system, driven by the desire for profit at all costs, that Vick, who has proven that he cannot be trusted with money and power, would be once again given the very things that allowed him to abuse so many beings for the sake of excitement and money.  Perhaps it would be different if Vick had proven, mathematically beyond doubt, that he could now be trusted, but that was not actually taken into consideration by those who offered him this multi-million dollar contract, was it?

Why? Because professional sports is a business, and it is allowed to therefore put profit above common sense. To the CEO of a major sports team, it is irrelevant what Michael Vick has done to hundreds of innocent animals, the fact that he can make tens or hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue for the team is all that matters.

What a disgrace, this system that we so blindly accept, where money is God and the only morality is to win at all costs.

This is but one small example of the compromises that occur daily where profit is put above Life and beings suffer by the billions so that a small few can have 'exciting experiences'.  What a disgrace.
