[…] It is alleged that Michael Vick was a ringleader in a huge dog-fighting operation, as well as someone who apparently gained perverse pleasure in torturing dogs. Vick pleaded not guilty to the federal charges brought against him, but with the public clamoring for his head, the NFL has basically suspended him until further notice while all his sponsors, including Nike, have done the same.

Rev Al said that we shouldn’t be in such a rush to Judge poor Michael Vick.

Hummm, Is this a “race” issue?
When did it become that?

Michael Vick is a big pussy , cruel and warped and should be put in prison so he can be in a cage too. We need to expose him for the torture of animals and make him pay. I hope others will see this is illegal and unacceptable dogfighting. I want to watch Vick get tortured. Call me if you need a woman to kick his pussy ass, I could beat his ass with my bare hands because he is such a wimp. I am a black belt and would enjoy every moment, I have trained all my life to defend myself against people like him. Vick wants to dominate smaller, defensless animals, wow, what a tough guy. Starving animals and torturing them on a daily basis is so crazy. Vick should be in a mental institution. It will be a pleasure to watch him loose all his endourcments and money. I hope he goes broke fast. Why do we pay people in sports so much money when they are so dumb. I am not going to watch football this year because of Vick, any football. There must be more guys like him on these teams. Why has no one exposed him before now. How many years has he done this? Football is for idiots after this and OJ, they have no brains! I would rather watch two old ladies knitting than watch those dumb dumbs run around on a field with a ball???????????????BORING

Let’s see him run one last time — lock the gates at BAD NEWZ kennel and let the surviving dogs loose on him and his posse.

[…] With Pacman Jones and Chris Henry, the NFL acts before the courts do. With Michael Vick, they want to wait things out so the courts can decide. […]

I’m so disgusted by this guy, he’s such a scum-bag thug, and I hope he never plays professional ball again, he’s a damn idiot, and he sickens me. If the falcons keep him or just suspend him for a couple of games their idiots, I really do feel sorry for the fans, and any players that didn’t know anything about all this shit. Maybe he can start a league in Prison???? at least he’ll be able to run fast from the showers.

So he’s a licensed dog breeder, what breed?

[…] While there’s been no word from the NFL, it’s highly unlikely the Atlanta Falcons will keep Vick around, and the former Virginia Tech star really just needs to be shelved until the court case is resolved, and if found guilty, his football career must end. […]

[…] I’ll give Romney this - he’s no Michael Vick. But one would imagine a Presidential candidate might want to aim a little higher. Of course, no one expects any GOP candidate to ever take any responsibility for their actions. That’s just not their thing. […]

[…] But the evidence is overwhelming - Michael Vick is a demented, dog-torturing fuck. When you’re a licensed dog breeder who owns a house where dog fighting takes place and has been called a “heavyweight” of dog fighting, I’m willing to forgo a jury’s affirmation and go out on a limb - Michael Vick likes to watch dogs kill each other for his amusement.

Hi. You might be interested in this post about Michael Vick from the Encyclopaedia Britannica blog. It has some background on the extensiveness and legalities of dog fighting.

“How can a organization that support such initiatives not punish a player if he is involved in such cowardly crime as animal cruelty???”

And this is why they take such disciplinary actions against their players, to keep up appearances and to not catch heat that would potentially hurt the bottom line.

Of course the NFL could stop marketing so strongly to young boys and stop holding up every standout athlete as a role model. But then think about how much money they would loose on the sell of Michael Vick bobble head dolls?

So, it’s a wash, I guess.

You have a point, wonder cow, however, the NFL is committed to public services, supporting various charities, especially the ones that focus on kids. They really adopt the whole “role model” idea. How can a organization that support such initiatives not punish a player if he is involved in such cowardly crime as animal cruelty??? They have to.

Personally, I think if he or any other professional athlete is guilty of such, then let them suffer the legal consequences. I just don’t see the necessity of connecting what happens on the field to what is going on off the field, with the exception of when what happens “off the field” affects “on the field”. Being in prison, for example.

I just don’t care for the whole “role model” idea. If you want some good moves to the basket or maybe would like to know how to blow 100,000 bucks on a craps game, Jordan is a great role model. Otherwise…meh.
