Vick-animal abuser & multimillionaire...

[Taz_Zoee]

I'll still watch the Eagles if I care about who they are playing. But I can't stand that man! Every time I hear his name I have a few choice words to say. And when my boyfriend told me about this contract I said some of those words.

Trenton is in Eagles territory and there's a very popular T-shirt around here:


HIDE YOUR BEAGLE.....VICK"S AN EAGLE

What gripes me, is the people that defend his actions by saying he grew up where dog fighting was an acceptable and everyday practice, and he didn't know any better. B.S. He grew up in Newport News, VA and attended college at VA Tech - hardly dog fighting territory!

Michael Vick got a concussion in the game with the Phia. Eagles this
weekend. Poor thing.

Now he knows how his dogs felt when they were kicked in the head.

He's getting better medical care in response to it than his dogs did, though.

I didn't watch the game, as I never do anymore since Vick made the team, but I heard it on the news. I was going to post a comment about it, but thought I'd just zip my lip for a change.

Thank you Liz, for posting what I was thinking!!!!

Sick Vick will never have paid for his crimes. And have no doubt, they were crimes, not mistakes. A mistake is taking the wrong exit off the highway or wearing mismatched socks or putting on the wrong color lipstick. It's a "miss take". Vick knew what he was doing, his culture had nothing to do w/it and he should be hounded (pun unintended) for the rest of his life. That's the price he must pay for committing such horrible crimes.

Mary - I couldn't agree more. Does a murderer or child molester ever deserve forgiveness, even if they serve their time and then are set free??? Not in my book, and probably not in the book of any person with even an ounce of morals.

I think Christ sorta set the example on that one. Who was on the other 2 crosses that day?

Everybody is entitled to their own opinion. To each his own..........

Seriously mixed feelings on this one.

He was caught, convicted by a jury, and went to jail.

He served his sentence which was handed down by a judge in accordance with sentencing guidelines.

He is now playing football again, and under the watchful eyes of Andy Reid, with others in the league watching him like a hawk. Reid or Belichik are really the only coaches who could probably handle this and turn it around, as neither one puts up with off field garbage.

I've heard his interviews, and unlike his interviews before the trial and jail, he sounds like he really knows he screwed up. IIRC, his mandatory community service has long since passed.

Here's a FAQ from HSUS (Not my favorite people, but it is what it is)

I'm with you on this one. I think it is time for all to get over this and move on. He has paid for his mistakes.
