What's Worse

Michael is still in the news this week as he has appeared to accept a construction job. But there is another NFL player in the news and his headlines don't appear to be as big a deal. The NFL player I'm talking about is Donte' Stallworth. The reason he's in the news is because he has actually killed a man.
Michael Vick killed dogs and ESPN basically devoted an entire channel to the coverage of the investigation, trial, and now to his upcoming release. I don't think killing dogs is a good thing, but in the grand scheme of things it is no where near what Donte' Stallworth has done.
Donte Stallworth actually ended the life of a man. A crane worker going home from work. Stallworth was drinking and hit the man in the middle of the road. So one would assume that this would be front page news. I understand the Stallworth is no where near the player that Vick was or even probably is. But in my opinion neither is the crime. Vick's crime is no where near the crime that Stallworth committed. The difference in the crime should far outweigh the difference in the talent and visibility of the player.
This is an opinion I've always had. I've wondered why we've thought what Vick had done is the worst possible thing humanly possible. We've got players like Ray Lewis, and Leonard Little, and now Donte' Stallworth who have now killed people. Add in guys who have been involved in domestic violence, and drug charges and now we're talking about a lot of guys. So why have we pitted Vick as the anti-christ? Media people talk about how teams can possibly think about adding Vick due to the public relations hit they would take with their fans. But we would all love to have Ray Lewis playing middle linebacker for our team.
