The TO Show: Terrell Owens Starts Twitter Revolution for Michael Vick

The TO Show: Terrell Owens Starts Twitter Revolution for Michael Vick Dissent is in the air. I can smell it. There are two wars abroad. An economic crisis at home. It’s times like these when the masses must rise up to make things right.

Remember the 1960′s? You couldn’t toss a draft card folded up like a paper airplane and not hit a protester.

And even then, athletes were making their voices heard to effect change. Who can forget (or at least, hasn’t heard about) Tommie Smith and John Carlos’s dramatic “Black Power Salute” at the 1968 Olympics?

So it is no surprise that Terrell Owens wants to make himself heard. TO is sacrificing of himself by organizing a movement to get Michael Vick back on the field as soon as possible via Twitter. Earlier tonight he tweeted:

terrellowens81Who’s w/me on the Vick situation? All n favor, lemme get a tweet 2 support Mike Vick! He did the time 4 the crime! Let the guy play!!

Very moving stuff. A little bit later he followed up with:

terrellowens81RT: B sure 2 check out #TheTOShow 2morr @ 10p on VH1.

Now that is how you change the world!

In the future, our grandchildren will only be able to process thoughts with 140 characters or less.
