Quite a bit easier to show up and play guard than quarterback. Kobe does a lot of things on the court by himself. Vick has to work in sync with 10 individuals. He didn't run a very effective passing attack before the controversy and practice layoff, so I'd imagine it would be worse afterwards.

Historically, the SCLC has been less of a Christian-oriented organization than a black-oriented civil rights organization. They are supporting Vick as a black man being persecuted by the white legal and media power structure that cannot stand to see a black man be successful and will do whatever it can to keep him down.
It's an abject shame that an organization could in the same breath honor MLK, Obama, and Ron Mexico. That's like the Italian Anti-defamation League having a dinner to honor LaGuardia, Giuliani, and Gotti. Or simultaneously honoring Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and David Duke just because they're white Southerners.

I stand somewhat corrected. The SCLC will not be honoring Vick at its convention, principally because he can't leave VA. However, Tyrone Brooks appears to have his act together on this issue:
State Rep. Tyrone Brooks of Atlanta, once an aide to Martin Luther King Jr. in the SCLC, said he told Steele last week that the Vick case was a distraction.
?I just don?t think it should be discussed at the convention or as part of the black agenda,? Brooks said when reached on his cell phone Tuesday. ?I?m not trying to make it an issue. I just don?t think it ought to be out there.?
Instead, Brooks said, the SCLC should concentrate on such issues as violence and the incarceration of young black people across the country.
?To talk about a superstar athlete who?s got millions and millions in the bank, with the resources available to put together a defense team ... we?re mixing up our priorities to the extent that it causes confusion,? he said.
