Michael Vick The bird, or is he telling the fan he is #1?

The Finger
After a Falcons loss to the New Orleans Saints in the Georgia Dome on November 26, 2006 Vick made an obscene
gesture at Atlanta fans, holding up two middle fingers. Vick has said, "I'm sorry and I apologize to all the young kids and to
whoever saw me make that gesture. I just let my emotions get the best of me in that situation and it won't happen again."
Vick was fined $10,000 by the NFL for his obscene gesture, and agreed to donate another $10,000 to charity. Vick split
his charity donation to two separate causes. He gave $5,000 to the family of a local fireman who had just died. He gave the
other half to the Warrick Dunn foundation (which helps support single mothers).
