Re: Nflshop.com mistake Vick skins jersey
 

just for the record...

Michael Vick would breed dogs just to beat them to make them mean from the time they are born, make them "practice" (fight for their lives) regularly, then when they are injured or lose Vick, HIMSELF, would drown, hang or shoot them in the head. He didn't "just bankroll" ... he killed these dogs in truly heinous ways with his own hands as well.

I am actually against hunting as well, BUT... A hunter usually eats the deer meat & the animal is usually killed immediately without torture.

I'm not a PETA member or anything either... I'm just just saying the guy did some TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE things to these animals.

Also... he didn't stop because he had an epiphany or fit of conscience... he quit because he got busted. He'd still be doing it today otherwise.

I don't HATE the guy... I just think he went completely the wrong way (trying to live a "thug life") and I feel people should have the right to still go after him. It's only been 2 years since this had stopped... those dogs suffered much longer (some dogs had been there 5+ yrs) and in much worse ways than he has (or ever will).


... oh... and about the jersey... what the heck is the story behind that I wonder?? Some guy at NFL.com having a laugh??

While i see why many just can't get over Vick and what he did, enough with defending hunting. Yes a lot of hunting is done and the food is used, but people hunt to go out and shoot stuff for the [B]sport[/B]. Hunting is legal but in all honesty there isn't much difference here.

I don't know if you were referring to me or someone else, as like I said, I don't like the idea of hunting today either... but, what Vick did was DEFINITELY MUCH worse as he & his boyz tortured those dogs their entire lives before brutally killing them.

Sorry I disagree, there is a huge difference in hunting and dogfighting. To me thats just ridiculous and Ive never hunted anything in my life.

Anyway the thread was about the mistake on nflshop. It certainly was not intended for something that has been talked about way more than need be here or anywhere else. I beg for closure.

Re: Nflshop.com mistake Vick skins jersey
 

yeah... agreed...


seriously though... where in the world did the thing on NFL.com come from you guess?? Someone obviously did it on purpose... very weird.

We all have our opinion :). Killing is killing to me, could someone shoot me a link to see Vick's exact role in raising, torturing, killings. Whenever i google about the proceeding, i never see actual testimony or admission other then his friends who rolled on him.

But yeah not what this thread was about, my next redskin jersey will be Landry not Vick!!

Re: Nflshop.com mistake Vick skins jersey
 

Vick pled guilty and "accepted full responsibility".

Here is the indictment. It's the feds, count on the fact that they could prove pretty much every paragraph.

Vick did some sick sick twisted stuff. If you want to disbelieve it, not sure much to discuss.

Good one! Thanks Joe for posting that document.

Re: Nflshop.com mistake Vick skins jersey
 

now that is funny !! or is it a sign of things to come ??

Re: Nflshop.com mistake Vick skins jersey
 

My thing is this, what Vick did was wrong. The man lied at first just like 90% of the world would probably do to save themselves. Vick accepted full responsibilty for his actions and people still want him to pay more. We have murderes and rapist that is accepted more than Vick is, that is sad... Hunting and dogfighting is the same, at the end of the day a animal is killed. I don't care if one is legal or not killing is killing.

Alright...it was a setup.

Vick's agent was really in Ashburn to talk over contract terms with the Skins. They used the imminent Ravens signing as a diversion. Seagal just mentioned the Ravens because they were the closest team to Ashburn.

Vick is coming to D.C.


Or that is just wild speculation : )

Just in case someone decides to take the pic down.

Re: Nflshop.com mistake Vick skins jersey
 

If Vick(for some strange reason) gets signed by the Skins and he is the main reason we go to, and win the Super Bowl. Will you still hate him? Would you forget about the whole dog thing?

1) I don't think you could really back the statement about murderers/rapists up with proof. If a person tortures/rapes or acts violently toward another person, even in our society, it's not accepted. Unprovoked and selfish violent behavior against weak/defenseless beings (kids/animals) is rarely just overlooked.

2) It makes a huge difference if one is legal and one is not. That is, after all, the whole point of the legal system, which is a foundational part of any successful society. The difference again is in the part of intent, and ongoing cruelty.
