The Vick Gesture (MERGED AGAIN x4)
First, though this has been said already, anyone who argues that Vick's gesture was toward Saints fans is either insane or colorblind.
Second, it now all makes sense to me. It was a long game. Vick was tired and frustrated by the loss. He saw that woman wearing a #7 jersey and thought, in his haze, that it was Mike Vick. So he did what all Falcons fans wanted to do and gave Mike Vick the bird. Indeed, if you could read his lips, I am sure that he said something like "Hey Vick! Learn how to read a defense you overpaid hack!"
On a more serious note, if I did this to my customers, my boss would be upset at me. I'd probably lose my job. Vick will get a fine that basically equates to 1/100,000 of his net worth or something. It won't affect him in the least.
I wish that more of these guys realized that the fans are what enable them to live a very comfortable life for playing a kid's game. I always feel a little foolish paying so much money to watch these guys and realizing that, for the vast majority of them, fans are objects of either disdain or humor.
