I believe a person can make a racist comment and not necessarily be a racist.
I don't know the extent of the closeness of the relationship. If they are close and he knows that Vick eats fried chicken all the time (favorite),then it is what it is. But having said that, if he doesn't know him to eat chicken anymore than anyone else, why did he choose fried chicken when he could have said anything. He is a smart man. He is in the presence of African American men all the time. He should be wise enough to know what to say and how to say it. Come on he is the owner. Be an example to your players in how to think and speak when talking to the media.
