Combine that with NO CLASS, and I can certainly see why people want him back in the NFL.

A rooster fight? WHO GIVES A SH#T?! A rooster is a DUMB amimal that we EAT every day buddy...........we in the USA don't EAT DOGS, so don't even compare the two. Dogs (if treated properly) are extremely loyal pets, who have on MANY OCCASION saved people's lives. You EVER see a rooster do that? GIVE ME A BREAK! 5539907 2009-05-21T19:18:02-04:00 6 VA Shyzaboy Troutville 689495 PETA is and always has been completely unbalanced and inconsistent which makes them full of crap. 143 Has the nation already forgotten that PETA has killed more dogs than Mike Vick? I am a dog lover. I have always had a dog in my life. (Currently a nine-year-old golden retriever with some arthritis developing.) When my previous dog was dying of liver failure, we spent crazy amounts of money extending his life; we carried him around when he couldn't walk; we lifted up on the bed so he could still sleep with us. Never-the-less, I think Vick should be reinstated after a 4-8 game suspension for lying to his team about all of this sh**. He has never been the sharpest tool in the shed. He got caught up in all of the flash and fame. He was used by so-called friends that wanted access to his money and fame. He never was, nor will he ever be, a great quarterback. He's just not smart enough to read defenses. But he's exciting to watch. He's still young enough to be a spectacular running quarterback for a few more years. I would guess that most people that foaming at the mouth about banning Vick, or boycotting advertisers, blah blah, were never serious fans or wouldn't follow up on their threats. It's easy to wave a big stick while posting anonymously on the internet... 5500312 2009-05-23T15:35:09-04:00 http://img.fannation.com/upload/user_profile/image/771/14/thumb/BigOrange.jpg 1267 MD Havok 77414 He was used by so-called friends that wanted access to his money and fame.

He bankrolled the whole thing and provided the place. I have been a football fan for a few years only but I can tell you that yes, I will not watch another game nor buy anything that Vick is endorsing, until he proves to me that's he working to change the laws and help animals. Right now, all Vick is doing is lip service to get back to making millions, nothing else. 5516948 2009-05-23T15:27:02-04:00 http://img.fannation.com/upload/user_profile/image/771/14/thumb/BigOrange.jpg 1267 MD Havok 77414 157 No, Vick does not belong in the NFL. Let him keep his construction job. Any regular joe would lose his job, doing what Vick has done, without any chance of ever getting that job back. I'm fed up with athletes getting away with murder and everything in between. Vick made his bed, let him sleep in it. 5516911 2009-05-23T05:58:39-04:00 1 VA archaeoptyrx Richmond 783424 156 Absolutely not. The man has shown he's cold hearted, a liar, and lacks a conscience. Fair enough he's done his prison time, but under no circumstances does he deserve to live a life of luxury that being an NFL player provides. Those trying to draw parallels to complete idiots like Chris Henry and Leonard Little are off-base. Michael Vick has more in common with Rae Carruth than any of them. Vick and Carruth knew what they were doing. One just murdered innocent animals for sport and profit rather than a pregnant girlfriend. I believe Vick has done his time and should be allowed to re-enter society, but he has lost his privilege to be in the spotlight PLAYING A GAME and earning more money than doctors or teachers. He can go work construction or another everyman job. He does not deserve the perks that being an NFL player provides and its a shame that more people aren't completely appalled and even considering giving him another chance in the NFL. 5515699 2009-05-22T22:43:53-04:00 http://img.fannation.com/upload/user_profile/image/881/61/thumb/viking_quest.jpg 76 GA Leonidas Atlanta 88461 155 I've been writing pro-Vick statements on this blog for 19+ months (almost got fired for doing it at work last summer) while being outnumbered at least 99-1. So it's great to finally get on here on see more people on my side. I've read most of the comments here (which doesn't say much about my social life, seeing how it's almost 11pm on a Friday), and I must say, the Michael Vick supporters make much better points than the fools who are repeating the same drivel they've been reading on all the other trashy blog sites the last 2 years. I would go on my own rant about all the reasons why Vick will and should be in the NFL this season, but a man greater than me has pretty much said it all. I hope you all have read this article, if not, you should before commenting any further: http://vault.sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1155622/1/index.htm 5514613 2009-05-22T15:38:18-04:00 22 TX Great Pharaoh Marble Falls 451197 154 Well what can I say? I called for the banning of ALL felons, black or white, and from all sports leagues but I'm called a hater and a racist because Vick is black. There is no reasoning with that, and I guess I am in the minority. As I said, I'm voting with my wallet and my television, so goodbye NFL and it's sponsors. At least my wife will be happy since she doesn't watch the game, so now I'll be spendng my autumn Sunday afternoons paying more attention to her. Also maybe I can improve my golf game some. As for those of you who called me a racist, you all can catch the flight to hell. And take Vick with you. 5511550 2009-05-22T14:16:22-04:00 1 SC FALCON FANATIC Greenville 783112 153 WELCOME HOME MIKE.... WELCOME HOME....

SI.com's <strong>Steve Aschburner</strong> <a href="http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/steve_aschburner/05/20/vick/index.html" target="_blank">weighs in on whether Vick does indeed deserve a second chance</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>"Spare me the 'America is all about second chances' rhetoric; plenty of industries bar their doors permanently to practitioners who commit far lesser offenses than the ones to which Vick pled guilty. Lawyers get disbarred, priests get defrocked, journalists who plagiarize get drummed out forever. Private crimes frequently torpedo professional lives. Vick has no right to draw an NFL paycheck."</p> </blockquote> <p>Agree or disagree?
