Me too.
Dogs suffered horrible real torture and death for his and his buddy's amusement.
And that as#@&%e just signed a 100 million dollar contract to play football on Sundays.
Fuk him.

He ran a dog fighting ring to entertain his gangbanger friends. Now Philly is paying him big bucks because he can throw a football. And the NFL has granted him forgiveness because he draws $$.

He did his time, and he does a lot of other programs now as well to continue to pay for what he did. After he got out of prison he went back to work. He no longer runs dog fighting rings. Thats about as close to rehabilitation as one can hope. What did you expect him to do? Work in a grocery store? Guys good at football. So good in fact they are willing to pay for it.
I'm sure he really doesn't mind that you change the channel.

Glad I'm not the only one that doesn't think of this as#@&%e as some sort of redemption story.

Was he convicted? Did his "gangbager friends" help? Seems that I don't have all the info I need to decide whether or not I'm sick of this guy. More info so me and my dirtbag buddies can make an informed decision.
Thanks

Prez-
He did his time. So that makes it okay? If you beat your wife but don't do it again, that makes it okay?

In the eyes of the law yes. In the eyes of your friends you decide. Still waiting more info before I pass judgement on this guy and his gangsters.

He was tried, convicted , and served 21 months in prison. He filed for bankcrupty and was labeled a public pariah and persona non grata in football.
What else do you want him to do to atone for his crime ?
He earned his way back in to football and performed well enough to earn a starting position and fat contract .
I don't understand why he doesn't deserve a second chance at redeeming himself on the field and in the court of public opinion .

KP-
Care to elaborate? So you think it is okay for someone to run a dog fighting ring and my calling it makes me "higher"?
I've transgressed the law on occasion, but I've never abused the helpless.

The Vick issue is such a dead horse it isn't even funny. Kick again bud, it makes you sound really important.

You support slaughterhouses of animals and eat them.

Football is boring to watch, so I don't.
Special place in hell for folks like Vick.
