How is it not Vicks fault exactly? People FORCED him to act illegaly?
you're missing the point. is he to blame for his actions? yes. is he to blame for the current severity of his situation? no.
its one of the most ridiculous things i have seen in quite some time...and so many don't even realize.
i wonder if people know the word...disproportionate.
No it's punishment enough because his punishment grossly outweighed his crime.
You trashy Southern pieces of advocating dog fighting/killing saying it's ok are really in re ed.......and you s wonder why it's called "The dirty South", it's because every other part of the country views dog fighting as sick and inhumane.
Yeah executing innocent dogs by means of drowning, electrocuting, choking, and strangling doesn't deserve 2 years in jail.....southern idiot.
You forgot about losing 100 million dollars. For that kind of money he should have killed 1000 more of the filthy mongrels.
You act like there some sort of joy in killing helpless animals.....you are one filthy Southern piece of trash.
You don't have to get so emotional about it madam. Nobody said what he did was a ok. I also agree he should have been punished, but the mans life was pretty much ruined behind killing two dogs. The guys that were actually doing most of the killing didn't even get the punishment Vick received because they made him the scapegoat. I think the message could have been sent without the man having to go to jail and possibly losing his career in football. If you can't understand what I'm trying to say, then you are obviously putting the dogs life ahead of the humans.
So, if you own a dog, I can go and kill the out of it and you'd be okay with it as long as I get a municipal slap on the wrist?
Michael Vick put himself in position to get all that he received. I don't feel sorry for the dude. He had money, fame and an NFL career and he chose to piss it all away. It's not about loving or not loving dogs, its about one man's judgement and choices.
Slap on the wrist? Seriously?
You guys should all start a club to bring down -fighting in America if saving animals is so important to all of you. Or maybe go and try and save the greyhounds, they get ed just as hard.That is everywhere. I don't agree with what Vick did either, but if that had been Kerry Collins he wouldn't have gotten near the same punishment. He grew up in an enviroment where it was deemed acceptable. Yes he should have realized his stature and gotten rid of all traces of his past, but he ed up. I don't really mind him losing all his money, but 2 years is wayyyy to long. I can't wait to see him back in the NFL.
You obviously didn't understand my post. So, I'll just leave it at that.

By the way, Kerry Collins lost his starting job because of alcohol related incidents and what not. So, you're comparison is re ed.
If you're trying to make this a racial argument, you should've gone with Phil Simms. That boy is snow white.
I disagree that its a race thing. People have soft spots for animals. Combine that with a desire to make an example out of an athlete for doing wrong...it was a perfect storm working against him.

But, then again, Phil Simms killing dogs would've shocked everyone. So, you wouldn't have a point there either.
Cedric Benson got cut before he was even found guilty for his dui. Collins just lost his starting job. Yea, he sure got punished.
Bottom line, he killed dogs.
Killing dogs is against the law. Fighting dogs until they die to make a buck is against the law.
Sure, athletes have beat the out of thier women before, and there's laws to protect these women, but none of those athletes forced their women to fight other women so they could make money out of it. And, they didn't torture said women if they were to lose a fight.
Actually, that proposition sounds pretty interesting, but that's neither here nor there.
Vick provided the house for his peeps to do the dog fighting. He attended these dog fights. He approved of the killing of these dogs. He took part in these killings.
There is a law about that. And, he chose to ignore it.
He landed in jail because he was a dumbass and he deserves every bit of it. I don't feel sorry for him at all.
That's not a black/white thing. That's a quarterback thing. QB's almost always get better treatment.
I'm sure the NFL hates black people. That's why they're under represented in the NFL. NFL execs try to makes sure black folk never have any success at all.
As a matter of fact, America hates black people. That's why they make laws about killing dogs. America wants to keep black people down. That's why we'll never see a black President because America hates black folk so much.
And, Cedric Benson is a no talent piece of .
Meanwhile, pot head Ricky Williams has gotten chance after chance and is doing pretty good the last we saw.
So, your point is well made.
Glad to see you make that jump. That was quite epic.
Lost all his money, owes the Phins like 8 mil still, and got to spend a lovely season in Canada. The American dream!
Your logic is priceless.
It should be taught alongside Greek Logic.
There should be Greek Philosophy/Logic 101 and Mardigan Logic 101 in every 4 year University in the U.S.
Is he still playing in the NFL?
Did he get any warnings as to what would happen to him if he were to get caught again? Is he still getting paid?
Last anyone heard, the answer is "yes" to all those questions.
