Race is an undeniable and complex element of Vick’s story, both because of his style as well as the rarity of black QBs in the NFL. A decade after he became the first black QB to be drafted No. 1 overall, about one in five of the league’s passers is African-American, compared with two-thirds of all players. But after his arrest for dogfighting, so many people asked: Would a white football player have gotten nearly two years in prison for what Vick did to dogs?

Does race play a factor in how much time Vick got?

Casey Anthony can get away with killing a child of hers, yet Michael Vick serves 2 years for dog fighting. It’s a race thing without doubt.
o so you have deer that sleep at the bottom of your bed huh? must be nice to have a family deer.
It’s not a race thing it’s a felon serving time thing. he committed the crime so he paid for it.
White ppl kiss they dogs in the mouth, put little cute clothes on the dogs, even let em sleep in the same bed with them, but when it come to black ppl… they dont even want us to live in the same neighborhood. Real talk!
Jadakiss: What if Peyton was fighting dogs instead of Mike Vick?
@j4pres he deserved 2 years???
First of all if Vick was white he wouldn’t have the ability he has now. There’s never been a black quarterback as elusive so I’m willing to bet money there wouldn’t be a white quarterback that skilled. And another thing since when does the Feds investigate dog fighting???? When its a high profiled black man. Don’t believe me research it?
