you know, like i said, he is a dirtbag. he should be allowed come back and be a functioning member of society, not to be a hero making millions of dollars. the real heros are overseas defending your freedom AND DYING for a measly $1509 a month or a whopping $18,108 a year.
Reference: 2009 Military Pay tables for an E-2 with under 2 years of service that is a Private in the Army and a Private first class in the Marine Corps.
micheal vick is a worthless piece of shit and should never be in a position to be a "hero" and a "role model" for children EVER AGAIN.

I agree he is a piece of trash. As far as coming back to society as a functioning member, what else is he going to do???!?!? He hasnt had a real job his entire life. Im sure in highschool he didnt work anything more than a 17 year old kid can. In colllege couldnt have a job because of football. Then made it big in the nfl and that has been his job....You think someone is going to hire this guy? He left VT after his second season. So im sure he didnt graduate. So he is uneducated with no other real life skills.
Proper parenting and educating your children will prevent him from being a role model.

I am uneducated. Shit, i start community college next week, full time, while i work full time. maybe he needs to finish school while working some shitty job full time like many Americans. "no real life experience" is not grounds to pay the man millions of dollars.
Your are biased because you are a die hard sports fan. if he was a member of a band you didnt know, you would say "screw his second chance"
by the way, the military will take an ex-con.

i hate Vick and what he did.. i have bred, showed, and even rescued dogs till this day.. all i have to say is it takes someone sick in the head to do that to an animal.. kill them cause there weak.. use as bait for other dogs? i mean comon people.. it takes a sick demented person who had some fucked up upbringing to be able to do that and have a clear head..(like he even needed the money!!???) thats what gets me even more!!! hes a fool and should be treated like one.. lol...
2 years.. ?? fine whatever.. those poor dogs are scarred for life.. and will never trust another human again! hes a waste of a life if you ask me.. he had alot it seemed.. money.. all these sponsors etc.. whatever all that shit is... he took it for granted though.. oh well.. i say he should never work in the NFL again.. but thats my 10 cents...
hes not even worth speaking of on a thread.. hes a loser!

For a glimpse into the mind set, intelligence, of Michael Vick, check out his brilliant prose on the Developing Empathy for Animals test that he submitted.

Scroll to page 5 to truly see what the definition of "Loyalty" is.....

Are you a vegetarian? Do you find the killing of cows and pigs more humane because we eat them? Is there a moral difference or just an emotional attachment to dogs? How about live cooking of crabs and lobsters? I personally agree that what Vick did is terrible. I also find the hippocracy of his critics hard to swallow. I don't defend his actions, but I defend his right for redemption. The number of NFL players that have committed more serious crimes against their human spouses without rebuke from this forum or the NFL is laughable. As I said, the bandwagon of hippocracy is full
1. Flashing a nipple on stage for a moment.
2. Dog fighting.
Okay, not really apples-apples comparison but you get the point.

I bet if this was a non-millionaire abusing dogs, this would not be in the media or on this forum. Animals are fought, abused, puppy milled every day. Where were all of you animal lovers before? For all of you that want to spit on Vick but never spoke a word before...
I'm sure the topic of why someone who makes millions would get into this type of low-life activity for a $300 bet has probably struck alot of minds. I'm really disgusted of the NFL for even reinstating him as a player. Its like allowing Madoff become the new Treasure of the U.S. Goes to show the NFL isnt a professional association. The NFL would let a serial killer in the league if he could run the 40 in 4 secs.

I guess I'm a hypocrite Rog. I do make a distinction between the raising of animals by federal standards for health and hygiene to be killed quickly and processed into life-sustaining nutrition, as being different from the systematic and long-term torture, for purposes of profit and entertainment, of defenseless pack animals with the capacity to trust and show loyalty for their owners. Vick and his cronies laughed as they tortured and killed these dogs, used the weak ones for bait, and stole neighborhood pets belonging to small childeren to "feed" to their fighting dogs.
Why do I feel comfortable saying this? It's part of my culture, the very defense you tried to use, as Whoopie Goldberg so infamously did, to defend Michael Vick's actions. However, he was not a "poor, sheltered country boy livin' on the farm who don't know no better and needed the money." Not that such a scenerio would make it any less palatable.
