Your take on Michael Vick playing again...

[Disneylover1302]

I was just wondering what is your take on Michael Vick playing football again.

I personally think that he should have never been accepted back to play. He killed poor innocent dogs!

What do you think?...

Can't STAND it.


I'm not a big Football kinda person, but I am a activist for Animal Rights. What this man did is unthinkable, inhuman, and wrong.

I am furious that the NFL would accept him back....shows you what kind of buisness they are. They preach teamwork, goodness, and community, but when it comes to a football player that's a convicted felon, let's throw those values away, so we can make some money.


UGH, that makes me sick.:lol:

/Vent over

^ Agreed EE. I personally think he should get a lifetime of working with animals.

I bet the team that re-picked him is going to get alot of hate mail.

No...He should be locked up.

And yeah, I know I have sent off my angry email....

I am studying to be an animal conservationist so I think we know what I am going to say.

I think the killing and torturing of animals is one of the worst things a human being can do. They can't stand up for themselves, or ask for help, they are dependent upon the owner. And most murderers have a past of abusing animals.

He should have never been given this oppurtunity, he didn't deserve it.

I like that he has been given a second chance. Second chances are what our country is about. He paid his debt to society and has paid an even bigger price by the hit his reputation has taken.

I don't agree with what he did, but he wasn't the first and certainly won't be the last, but since his conviction, the arrest rate has gone up for this activity which is a positive benefit. You also have to look at the culture he grew up in. It's no excuse, but the environment we are born and raised in effects who we become. Hopefully, he can work to prevent future generations from furthuring the dispicable practices of dog fighting, ________ fighting, etc.

I wish him well, and I hope he appreciates his second chance.

I duuno..You are entitled to your oppinion, of course lookaroun) but I see what he did as something pretty unforgivable.

There is something cruel and wrong about this man.

He is more useful as an NFL QB who is now in the position to make a difference in the fight against dog fighting than a QB in the CFL or a bag boy at the local Publix, Kroger, Winn-Dixie, etc. He can also be an inspiration to all troubled youths that second chances are possible if you make the best of your opportunities and pay your debts to society.

He grew up in a situation where this was not only okay but a way of life. That's a key part to this equation. Doesn't make it okay though.

Totally disagree

The whole "look at the culture he was raised in" annoys me...he knows right from wrong..he knew what he was doing was wrong but because of the culture he was raised in we should give him the benefit of the doubt?

No..that in my opinion is a p i s s poor excuse..

I seriously doubt that he will do anything to prevent others from doing what he did..he is disgusting and should never be allowed to play football again..

What he did is unforgivable...something is cruel and wrong with him and I do not think he learned anything from this except for the fact that he can basically get away with murder..he barely paid the price for what he did..

If ANYTHING...THAT should be his new role in the NFL.

I don't like the excuse that it's a way of life, however. It's been banned, to any other person, it's inhumane. It's widely known, too....It's not like this guy never knew anyone who DIDN'T do this...He was a star.:shrug:

I'm from Philadelphia, and believe me...it won't be a walk in the park for him here. Philly fans are known for being rather...um...passionate :lookaroun and the camps are strongly divided. But, in the end, I think it will come down to how he plays the game, as it should.
For me, my first reaction was one of disbelief. How could they sign him??? But, I changed my thinking on that. He paid his debt and who's to say he isn't a better man for it? He's in a position now to make a difference. I hope he does.

No..let him be a bag boy..let him see that when you do something as wrong as what he did that you can not have the life you once led again..that you messed it up and that is what you have to live with..

His punishment was nothing compared to what he did to say he paid his debts to society....seriously..ok kids...you can kill innocent animals..you may get caught..spend some time in jail..but after that you can go back to doing whatever you choose....ugh!

Sorry..IMO he needs to rot in hell...

He used to be the face of the NFL, the highest paid player, and the most dynamic player in the NFL. The sky was the limit for Mike Vick, and as a Saints fan, I hated him. Fast forward almost 3 years later, he has been out of the NFL for 2 years, sitting in jail, losing that lucrative contract, etc. Not to mention the shame and humiliation.

He was tried in a court of law, sentenced, and served his time. Now he is a backup QB. Justice was served, and as someone in prelaw, that's enough for me.

I disagree....
It all comes down to how he should play the game?

So, correct me if I am wrong..but as long as he plays good then he should be cheered for?

Well guys..he killed some dogs..but he got us in the Super Bowl..woo hoo!


Sorry..but he disgusts me..

Who cares about the shame and humiliation..he deserves that and more...

Justice was not served...and sometimes the law is wrong..in this case..it was.:shrug:

That's what I am worried about, too.

However.....If they put him in a position to use this as impetus for change, and influence, then it might soften the blow.

True. :lol: I'm in the same (almost!) position as you, but I don't think it's enough. He should be allowed to have SOME opportunity to make a new name for himself (like I said...use him for good), but they are making it WAY too easy.

Props to Philly for giving him a second chance. I have a new respect for that franchise.:wave:

I have no respect for it...none what so ever!

I think that all comes down to opinion, though.


But, what doesn't?:lol:
