I'm a football fan. I'm not much of him as a QB or a man. But I really don't see what the big honking deal is.
And he's one of the better players. Are you kidding? It's Vick, who is a decent starting QB. He makes bad choices at times with how to handle the ball (I swear the guy wants to be an RB) but he's better then most of the rest of the starting QBs in the league.
He fought dogs.
He didn't molest kids, beat his women or kill people. Not drunk driving. Not doing drugs. Not carrying around guns shooting himself in the leg at night clubs. Not testing positive for weed 3 times in a row.
Nope. Dog fighting. I mean, really? Seriously? And people want him tossed out of the league and branded for life? He did 18 months. In my opinion, it was a suitable punishment, not a slap on the wrist, which has now been served and he is entitled for his life to continue without further drama.
Honestly I think Vick got caught up in the lifestyle. I think he's gotten a cold hard come to Jesus slap, and he's going to fly straight. Someone like Plexico Burress isn't and needs to get thrown out of the league. And Stallworth, who KILLED SOMEONE, definatly needs more then 30 days and a year suspension!
He should not be allowed to play. Pete rose was banned for betting for money, one dog fight another dog for money is betting! People who fight dogs are SICK in the head.. To start a dog fight and watch it and even if it does not kill them right then, they will then leave them some were else to die. That includes the winner to, Just because they "won" does not mean the are fine and dandy. I am from Pa, The eagles suck, They were in westchester at the collage a some years back, there heads are so far up ther a**es its not funny, They move around the in the under ground tunnels broiler areas & had the nerve to ask who do we sue if we get herts down hear, ( I know a worker for the the collage ) just to avoid the fans, the ones who make them what they are ( and that ant much ) once they got to the field, They had WALLs not fence Walls built so they could not be seen. They are rude, head swollen, You would have to meat them in person to know why I feel this way.
Vick playing for the eagles... Philly and its subs. are hot spots for dog fighting. If you are one who does not see much rong with dog fighting watch one dog rip apart another dog, think of this, once a dog is in that life style and thorn aside if it lives or gets out of its cage, it makes it to our streets were our childeren play or maybe someone getting in there car to go to a real job, PAYS the price for what that dog went through. Thats why Pits have bad names, they are GREAT dogs as long as they stay out of the hands of whimps who us them for them for fighting. Philly and sub's are loaded with pit bull rescues WHY if there was nothing wrong with fighting dogs there would be no rescues. One rescue is renting billbaords to put dog fighting and Vick out there and they have alot of help, we are behind them to. The stats for pit dog bites ( I am not talking about one bite - I am talking about the toddlers who have to be prided from the dogs ) in Philly are just sad. Thoses childeren had nothing to do with dog fighting, they just happen to be out side doing what childeren do. Drive through Philly and look at the late teens early 20's boys walking around with there bad pits.
Vick may have not moelsted a child, beat his women or killed anyone ( with his own hands the same hands who funded dog fighting - Were are those dogs now??? ) BUT did you know the ones who do, and the stats show that animal cruelty was in there past.
You are who you hang with. If you are with a group watching dog fighting, betting, drinking beer & doing drugs. What are you doing????????
If there is someone who still does not see the wrong in dog fighting, You have never seen it as it is or the out come, a group of so called men watching dogs kill one another at the end of the night at lest one dog is dieing the injured ( and thats if there is only 1 match ) you need to go to a rescue for pits or google some of the pit attacks on people. They are truly a great breed but in the wrong hands it will never end well.
Vick should not be able to play for any one. Betting is betting
