Vick is a thug, so's his brother. NFL and NBA is full of 'em. He got of easy and I'm sure he'll be back playing ball. As I'm sure he'll be back in trouble with the law! Not doubt about that!
Look at OJ!

Vick should be released from prison the day the dogs he killed come back to life. Let him rot in the hole....
How can you make an arguement for that?Quote:

You cannot impose your perception upon anyone that eating horses is normal and fine. That is your taste. Who the fuck are you to judge anyone that does not agree with your perception?
But you'll happily eat a MacDonalds! :shock:Quote:

Let's look at Robert Blake's situation. The actor from the old cop show "Baretta". He was on trial for murdering his wife. It was a bizarre set of circumstances. He was found not guilty.
Did he do it? I don't know. I was not there.
What is interesting is that Blake was found liable in civil court after he was found not guilty in criminal court! Mmmmmmm.....sound familiar? Didn't that happen to OJ?
Well, guess what? Blake's own three children filed the civil law suit against him and he was found liable for the wrongful death of his wife by the jury in 2005. An appeal was filed on Blake's behalf, but the original verdict was upheld. By the way, Blake filed for bankruptcy........
Has the media discussed Blake's situation? No. Did they treat Blake the way that OJ was treated? No!
It's another unfortunate case of a white celebrity getting preferential treatment from the media.

I hope he burns in hell. Being an animal lover and also a forgiving person for the most part, I can honestly say I hate Michael Vick for his crimes and the jail term wasn't nearly long enough. But alas, that is the celebrity world.
Now, if the authorities could focus on nabbing some of these other douchebags commiting the same crimes instead of relishing in the fact that they put an athlete behind bars for too short a time, then maybe we'd start getting somewhere with the prevention of cruelty to animals.
I didn't read any of the responses so I am going by the subject...
Unfair treatment??? The man is a beast - what kind of a person does this shit to animals?
Ughhhh
he didnt spend enough time in jail, he deserves it, any dumbass millionaire that does something illegal and gets caught deserves anything that comes their way
Shouldn't the appropriate response to perceived preferential treatment for Martha Stewart be to make sure justice is applied appropriately, rather than using it as an argument supporting preferential treatment for Michael Vick? It's like people who get pissed when the government gives money to someone (banks, automakers, immigrants, welfare receipients, I leave no one out), but instead of putting a stop to it they put their hand out and say "where's mine?". Sorry, weak argument.Quote:

Besides, even if he gets reinstated there is no team that will sign him, and it's all due to dollars and cents. No one wants to risk losing huge ticket sales because they can sign Vick, a great athlete but average quarterback and not one who invokes taking a team to the Super Bowl and therefore justifying the risk.
I remember back in the mid '80s when the Vikings signed Mossy Cade after his sexual assault conviction. He was with the team for about three weeks before the uproar caused the Vikings to cut him. Now, this was in the spring, not even during the season, and without the media crush that is available today.
If Vick really wants to play football, he should try the new league that is starting up for a year, then the NFL. It would give him a chance to get back in real playing shape - the guy hasn't played in 2 years, he needs the time. It would also give him a chance to prove to the world that he can be a functioning citizen and not be a burden to society but a contributing member of society. And yes, conducting dogfighting matches constitutes a burden to society.
Finally, if you really think race has anything to do with it, you are nuts. I can name 50 athletes that are playing today that have had so much bullshit in their lives it's unbelievable they aren't in prison right now. Start with Pacman Jones and work your way down. Racism does exist (I live in Minnesota, home of the closet racist!), but this is not it. You want to see racism, check corporate America first. Pro sports is definitely low on the racism totem pole (pun intended).
I absolutely love animals and I agree with you 100%.Quote:

I want to fuck Angelina Jolie and Jesse Flores in a 3 way, let's see who gets lucky first.
Why the hell did I respond to this guy's ramble? Never mind.
For one, Robert Blake was a beyond washed up actor that no one gave a fuck about, thus the lack of media coverage. 2nd, he didn't give America the viewing pleasure of a 2 hour race across Los Angeles in a Ford Bronco, thereby creating everlasting interest. 3rd, he stayed out of the spotlight, whereas OJ has looked for it ever since the initial incident. I don't know if I would call it preferential treatment for Blake, more of a statement of how little anyone really cares about Blake.Quote:

I should also say that I failed to add in my first post that I really hope Vick proves everyone wrong and actually does make something positive out of his life. If he does it the right way (on his own, no star treatment), he will gain much more respect from people than just getting back on the football field.
The hard part for me is Vick is a product of a lot of what is wrong with our country. We allow for inadequate and unequal K-12 education, yet we make athletes into idols. It's obvious Vick needed better education growing up, but as a great athlete my guess is those needs were ignored. And as much as people want to believe prison is a rehabilitator, I don't think so.
Michael Vick! Michael Vick! I wouldn't mind him as a second string qb for my team. but everyone know that he sucks in the cold
I'm glad you did deceid to respond that was a great post. 8)Quote:

He knew what he was doing was a felony in the State of Virginia. He knew that getting caught could be the end of his career.
He got caught. (Surprise. With all the reporters covering him what was the chance he would not get caught?)
My sympathy is with the dogs. They didn't have a choice, he did.
Playing in the NFL is a privilage. He does not automatically have the right to return. There are many professions you cannot return to after certain convictions. If he was a cop or a teacher he would not be allowed to return to his job. Fuck him, he's a dumb douche who blew it.
He's got a right to earn a living, I hope he spends the rest of his life making min wage.
Sure, dog fighting is horrible, but Vick got his punishment, he did his time. Now that he's "paid his debt to society" he should be given a 2nd chance. I don't like it that people condemn him and shun him forever. Everyone deserves a 2nd chance.
Even to those of you'll that are non religious this statement is still valid "Him that is without fault cast the first stone" yall stoning the brother. He did the crime, and he paid his time. Let him move on.
Who cares really.....Mike Vick doesnt give a crap about any of us, so why should we give a crap about him?
Vick wasn't even a good QB when he was in the NFL. He was just a guy with a ton of god gifted talent that never applied himself.
thats cute, and those of you'll, first time i heard something as dumb as that, the brother didnt do enough time, and morons like you are the reason whyQuote:
