On top of Everything Else: Mike Vick's Dad is Selling Him Out

Read Article: (ESPN)

Michael Vick's estranged father further implicates him in dog fighting.

"Michael Boddie, who is estranged from Vick and the quarterback's mother, also said some time around 2001 his son staged dogfights in the garage of the family home in Newport News, Va.

Boddie told the newspaper Vick kept fighting dogs in the family's backyard, including dogs that were "bit up, chewed up, exhausted." Boddie claimed to have nursed the dogs back to health."

The article also said Mike's dad has asked for money to live on several times and lives in a place paid for by Mike. I'm having trouble understanding is father's motivation here. I don't see how he helps himself or Vick by coming out with this.

His dad isn't after him because he thinks Vick is wrong. He's after him because he wanted some of Vick's money. Recently Vick refused to help his father by giving 700,000 dollars or something like that.

Recently Vick refused to help his father by giving 700,000 dollars or something like that. Which is exactly the problem. Nobody was worried about Michael Vick, all they cared about was Michael Vick's money.
