If Vick was white he would probably still be behind bars, NFL career wouldnt have made a difference.

I disagree. I don't think the color of his skin has anything to do with his prison sentence, or lack thereof, I think it had much more to do with perceived value as a football player.

Like high school athletes that, if gifted, are 'helped' with 'schoolwork' to the extent that they can still graduate yet remain almost illiterate, the Athlete is held to different standards than other segments of society.

If Michael Vick had been a blue-collar worker, minimum-wage earner, this story would likely have never even made the news. And hopefully, that person would have spent a lot longer in jail, but it varies from state to state how tough the laws are on animal-abusers.
