Keep Vick off this team please
Only comaring OJ and Vick in terms of black criminals unworthy of the support of the black community. Agree that killing Ron Goldman and the ex-wife was even worse than Vick's dog torturing. They're both still sick *******s.
And the point about Vick's work with the ASPCA or Humane Society is that I bet that if the NFL had banned him for life, he wouldn't even be considering that community service. Hell, he'd probably go kick a dog in frustration.
Why shouldn't Vick be allowed back? If it's bc he was convited of a felony, there are lots of people with felony charges running around the NFL. People talk about the dogs...what about people like Ray Lewis and Dante Stallworth who were actually invovled in the death of HUMANS! A lot of people dispute the Lewis thing bc he was only convicted of obstruction of justice....if you want to argue semantics, Vick was only convicted of gambling and racketeering. Get over it people.
He might who knows. Im sure if alot of people that did wrong were not given second chances that they would see no value in showing remorse. The important thing is he is going to do things for the ASPCA and it could make a differance in the long run. He is doing alot more for the ASPCA than other players in the NFL that did not get caught and there are probably a few on every NFL team including ours. There is a big differance in a person committing a crime that actually affects whether they should be allowed to do a certain job. There are certain jobs where character is actually public trust are paramount to the job such as police officer or such but football player is definately not one of these jobs.
I hope you same people that whine and cry over Vick being allowed back into the NFL after serving his time for killing some animals also scream that players who have shot or killed PEOPLE while driving drunk shouldnt be in the game and refuse to follow any team that signs them as well.

Stallworth kills a man and gets 30 days in jail. Why don't all these dog lovers go harp on that issue. I love dogs, but my god, Vick has payed his dues in jail. People act like he was torturing humans for god's sake. What he did wasn't right, but the man has payed for it with jailtime, as well as losing millions of dollars and going bankrupt. He deserves a 2nd chance, as does everybody else.
To sum it all up, Vick has payed for his crime, leave the man alone. Go jump on Stallworth's back or something.
Lewis pled guilty! That's not a conviction? I hate people saying that these guys are role models....you can teach kids to model the way the play after certain players. Not their lives. As a father of 2 young kids, one thing I have learned is that I and my wife are the role modles. Not some guy on TV. If people would wake up and realize that they're children are always watching them and their actions maybe we wouldn't have so many screwed up youth in this country.
