ESPN hosts Michael Vick town hall meeting
September 20, 2007 at 11:37 am by Scott Freeman in News, SportsIn what should be a lively discussion, ESPN will host and broadcast a town hall meeting from Atlanta next week to “examine the repercussions of the story that shocked the city and the nation.”
“The Vick Divide — An ESPN Town Meeting” will be broadcast live at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 25, from Sidney Marcus Auditorium, and hosted by “Outside the Lines” anchor Bob Ley.
ESPN says the show will address the involvement of athletes with dogfighting and the status of the investigation, as well as what lessons can be learned from Vick’s situation, and how Atlanta can move past the issue.
The network also has an online poll that shows interesting numbers.
As of this morning, 72 percent of the respondents say Vick should be allowed to play again after he is released from prison (who would have thought a year ago they’d ever read that sentence). However, 59 percent say they don’t want him to play for their team.
