Would you accept Michael Vick on the Redskins?

Not in Virginia he hasn't! The Old Dominion isn't through with sick Vick. They only got Vick because they busted his cousin selling dope and he snitched. The were looking for drugs not dogs. I bet he had both.

Every month it was something new with Marcus. Marcus is drinking with underage girls. Marcus is caught doing 90 drunk and stoned. I watched Marcus stick his cleats in the chest of a man on his back and grind them in. I watched him flick off his own stadium.

We had this discussion today at work and you Vick apologist make me want to vomit. If you get convicted of a felony you shouldn't play in the NFL period. Why don't we sign the beltway snippers and Dr. Death Jack Kevorkian? Why don't we get Madoff to run our front office? How about Cheech and Chong as our offensive and defensive coordinators?
Go ahead and sign the filth. I'll write a letter to the commissioner with my spit enclosed and send in my Redskins gear to Vinnie Cerrato with a big fat dump on it.

If you don't like what I have to say about scum bags brothers Vick BAN ME FROM POSTING. I though it was bad enough when we signed Deion. I'll take a million Deions over one Vick.

Am I the only one who thinks this is a bit excessive of an assessment of Mike Vick?

Granted he is a criminal and he hasn't chose the most moral life to lead but hate you are spewing for him doesn't align with his crimes. When his time is up his criminal punishments will have been fulfilled. I don't like the idea of killing dogs for sport either but condemning a man and his character permanently as if he incorrigible is a bit much.

What he did was dumb. You break the law and you suffer the consequence...I get that. But why are you so fervent about making him sound like a Nazi dictator. He killed dogs for sport, which is against the law and I'm also against, but what makes that morally different from killing and eating an animal three times the size of a dog. I do that on a regular basis and even throw some away some if I can't eat the rest of it.

If we all lived in a vegetarian society that treated animal killings like human killings then your post lines up. But just because humans own domesticated animals and are emotionally close to them doesn't mean killing them is on par with rape or pedophilia.

You sound like an animal lover, which is great, but people who have biased perspectives should not weigh the scales of justice or morality in this point.


On a side note I am not in favor of Vick coming to the Skins. I don't think he'll play in the NFL due to the fact playing QB so long hurt him developing NFL-caliber talents at any other positions. WR is the only position I can see him playing but it will be too little too late for him.

BTW...what the hell is wrong with Deion???...Deion may be flashy but as far as I know he has never committed a criminal act on paper.
