Facebook | Ashley Greenspan: Michael Vick Reality Show Sponsors E-Mail and Boycott.

I’m not going to defend Vick and his actions, but I find it so absurd that people will now start a Facebook group to boycott sponsors of a show just because the show features someone who has committed a crime in the past.

Maybe we should start boycott’s against every entertainer who in their career has committed some crime and been punished for it.

Point 1: Why are you boycotting the sponsor’s and not the show itself?

This line in particular is so absurd: “Please e-mail the sponsors of the Michael Vick Reality Show and express your opposition to their financial support of the program.”

If no one watches the show there will be no sponsors that sign up for it.

Point 2: Where are your values?

If you are Judeo-Christian or simply believe in the simple act of forgiveness, then why are you supporting this boycott?

The guy committed the crime, did the time, and is now trying to rehabilitate his image. Don’t you want the man to succeed and become a better person? Or do you simply want to knock him back down to a point where his only option is to go and commit crime so that you can say “See, I told you so!”.
