Ignorance allows some to prosper
It’s hard to keep silent after what’s going on in the sports world in Pittsburgh recently, and the approval of a certain candidate for president.
Trying to turn a blind eye does not work. To approve of Donald Trump as a serious presidential candidate is so ludicrous.
This wealthy man knows nothing about the struggles of the poor and the middle class. Obviously, he knows nothing about diplomacy and feels free to run his mouth and insult anyone he can. And his followers think this is wonderful.
It is also a very sad day when a man who watched animals being ripped apart for the joy of the fight is now a backup quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Anyone else who has served time in prison can barely get a minimum-wage job when they are released, but Michael Vick is making top dollar. The unfairness of this is staggering. I don’t care how “humble” he appears to be – his lust for the sport of dogfighting and the torture of his own animals is something you don’t rise above. You either enjoy it or you don’t. It is the ignorance of the public that allows these men and so many more like them to prosper.
