Eagles players honor Michael Vick with award for "courage"

NaboCaneNew MemberOPThe Ed Block Courage Award recipient symbolizes professionalism, great strength and dedication. He is also a community role model.
Today, the Eagles announced that Michael Vick was the 2009 winner of the Ed Block Courage Award, an honor given to a player who shows courage in the face of adversity. Vick's teammates voted for the award, thus demonstrating how tone-deaf and out-of-touch NFL players are with reality...
Apparently Philadelphia players confuse Vick handling dogfighting questions and booing with a measure of class as some sort of courage. That Vick only got a chance to show this mild courageousness because of the extreme cowardice it takes to murder helpless animals isn't something that crosses their mind. They confuse Vick's desperation with some sort of integrity.
Eagles' players should be ashamed.

Bring this man back into the fold if you want some real leadership on this team.

I'm glad for Vick few people would have another chance after screwing up to the magnitude he did and it is good to see he is doing something with it.
