Michael Vick in Talks to Become PETA Spokesman

SBXVII · 05-05-2009, 09:45 AM

This is funny. However I called it back when he got into trouble that he would need to do some sort of commercials for PETA in order to win some people over and get back into the league. Perhaps even donate money but he has none. lol. Maybe he can strike a deal where part of his earnings go to PETA for like the next 3 yrs or something. I also figured the courts would put something in place that he had to be a spokesman for them, but last I heard PETA said they didn't want him as a spokesman. lol.

Oh well, good for him. Maybe he can finally put some of this behind him and get back into the league somewhere as a back up due to age.

Wow, one extreme to another. PETA are some crazy mofo's and commit more controversy than dog fighting in its entirety. The only upside would be his constant involvement with the public would help to improve his image. As far as this debate about position is concerned, I am a huge Hokies fan and would love to see him as a QB somewhere. Even if he has to be a backup at first. He is an animal and has an intense work ethic and I think he could excel and be an asset to almost any team.

PETA performs euthanasia at a higher rate than most shelters.

Truth. They've been caught several times disposing of pets by the dumpster-full.

Sick hypocrites.

Biggest bunch of hypocrites in the world. Most animal shelters throughout Hampton Roads (PETA's HQ is in Norfolk) have a euthanasia rate of under 35%. PETA's is consistently over 90%.

Peta Kills Animals

Vick scares me to death these days because he seems exactly like the type of guy Vinny would go after. "he was the best player available!!!" Thanks Vinny.

What is the difference then an X gang member working with kids to keep them out of trouble then MV doing stuff with PETA. It is very common for people to do stuff like this after getting out of jail.

The difference as I see it is this. The Gangbanger likely has little to gain monetarily by doing good will and more likely is generated from the heart. The same cannot be said for MV where there is a great deal of $$$$ involved, and he MUST have public approval to get there. MV, more than likely would not be doing all this feel good stuff without the $$$ involved

Atlanta is better off with Matt Ryan for the long run. What happened with Vick was a blessing in disguise.
