Kyler Murray apologizes for wearing Michael Vick jersey in photo with his pit bull

Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray apologized after creating a stir online after he wore a Michael Vick Virginia Tech jersey while posing for Instagram photos with his pit bull.Vick, the former NFL QB, was federally indicted in 2007 in relation to a dogfighting ring that he ran and led to the seizure of 70 animals — most of them pit bulls. “In no way, shape or form do I condone animal cruelty or dog-fighting, whatever it is,” Murray told reporters on Thursday.“For me personally, y’all saw me wear the Michael Vick jersey, a player I admired very much growing up.

And then being home with my pups, my dog Trunks and Swoosh, they both get treated like kings.So in no way, shape or form am I condoning that.“But yes, I saw how it affected people and decided to take it down.

I apologize to anybody and whoever I affected.”The photos Murray posted to his social media on Tuesday showed him with his dog, Trunks, and wearing an away Hokies No.7 jersey with Vick’s name. Vick, 45, was a star quarterback for the Falcons from 2001-06 before he was suspended by the NFL in ’07.
