he found jesus just in time for the upcoming football season.
he looks like he could chew the asshole out of a dead skunk..
Hey! I was going to say that! :) I hope he's never 'forgiven' by the NFL, he doesn't deserve to be looked up to as a role model by our children. There are four different groups in this world that are the most vulnerable: children, animals, elderly, and the infirmed (whether it be medical, or a mental/physical disability) ANYBODY who takes advantage of, or harms one of these groups, is the worst kind of evil. To take advantage of, and harm something so helpless and unable to escape from you is unspeakable. He needs to go flip burgers somewhere for the rest of his disgusting life.
if he was white he would of gotten a slap on the wrist. Yeah, he is sorry let it be, did he say he found Jesus/God! His team mate if they loose him its their loss, he made a bad decision.
he did get a slap on the wrist
White guys go to jail in my home state for things like this, therefore, Vick DID only get a slap on the wrist. And since when does becoming a lemming make his actions forgiveable? Christianity has caused more hatred, oppression, and wars, than anything else on this planet! I hold it against him that's he's saying he 'found jesus', he's lying you know.
Yes, If he asked God for forgiveness thats really all that matters- Whether people choose to forgive him or not just shows the hatred in their hearts.people I'm sure alot of you need forgiveness for something far worse than animals.
DEM CRACKAZ GO DUCK HUNTING AND DEER HUNTING AND PUT THIS SHYT ON THEIR WALLS LIKE TROPHIES...AT LEASE IN A DOGFIGHT..ONE LIVES. NOT TRYNA JUSTIFY IT, BUT COME DOWN ON EVERYBODY, NOT JUST VICK!
so he says .
messiahschild i can go out and kill someone .
then turn to God and i walk away???
thats a good deal..
f.y.i deere hunting etc. is leagal..
dog fighting is not .
wake up dork
I KNOW ITS NOT ILLEGAL NUMBNUTS...SO THEN WE HAVE TO ASK OURSELVES, WHY IS ANIMAL HUNTING LEGAL WHEN DOG-FIGHTING IS ILLEGAL?? DONT BOTH SPORTS LEAD TO AN UNTIMELY DEATH OF AN ANIMAL. IF ANYTHING, THE DOGS ARE WILLING (BECAUSE THEY'RE BRED THAT WAY) ..BUT DEERS JUST BE STROLLIN IN THE WOODS, DRINKIN SOME DEER PARK WATER AND THEN BOOM!!!! DEER DOWN..DEER DOWN!! HE AINT EVEN SEE IT COMIN..WHAT ABOUT HIS YOUNG??...OR MAYBE ITS A BIGGER ISSUE AND HAS TO DO WITH THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF THE WILLING PARTICIPANTS...HMMMMM
Hunting is killing in order to eat, not murder in the name of money. It simply catches dinner for you.
Dog fighting injures and/or kills an innocent animal for an individual's blood lust and gambling greed, making it murder. Do those people eat the dogs afterwards? NO.
The wanton harming of innocent animals is a serious problem that needs to be addressed. And addressing it should NEVER involve personal philosophical and religious beliefs.
Torturing something in the name of gambling, and bloodsport is wrong, period. Any logical mind not blinded by their over-zealous hatred of those who believe differently than they do can see that.
Don't believe a word of it.
i don't think you would know a deer if one bit you on the ass.
deer park water?? do you think they allow hunting in deer parks...
Vick will learn the new meaning of the word quarterback sneak.
Deer hunting vs. dog fighting.
There is no justice in the animal kingdom. Wild animals fight and die and get raped all the time. Dogs have the unique distinction of being man's best friend. They were the first domestic animals. Like it or not, they are not part of the animal kingdom. They are special. They are protected.
So, Michael Vick did not appreciate the place dogs have in our society and probabaly never anticipated the consequences of his actions. I am sure he is sorry he participated in dog fighting, but not because he suddenly finds it deplorable. If he really had integrity he would be publicly outraged that his career has been destroyed because of his treatment of livestock. But, instead of being a man and standing up for what he believes in, he cowers behind the magic monkey in the sky.
Come On ! ! ! ! You cant compare dog fighting to hunting ! These dogs were tortured, starved and TRAINED to fight to the death. This isnt somthing that is natural for these domesticated animals it has to be taught.
If hunting was not allowed imagine the huge deer herds that would devistated crops, thus damaging our food supply. Hunting is leagal and needed and is monitered.
Twice legal has been mispelled. Your not just texting your friends. This is the internet. You look foolish.
Hey dictionary. You're an idiot.
Take it easy people. Don't get all up in arms with these anti-hunting tree huggers posting here. They're probably wearing leather belts you know. It has nothing to do with what Vick did, which was abuse innocent creatures. I'll never forgive him for it, and neither will many others. He's lying to the world by saying what he's saying right now, all he wants is to get back on the field. I say he doesn't deserve it. He needs to earn that back, maybe by working at animal shelters shoveling sh*t for a few years, and seeing the plight of some of these creatures. (that's if he has a heart)
p.s. I still have some steaks from last year's deer hunt in my freezer. I think I'll eat it very slowly while laughing at the people who think killing an animal for food is wrong. Yummy!
Dictionary - You're my hero!
Dogfighting is wrong and inhumane, but why is his image being cruicified and football career subject to be taken away from him. Years ago Leonard Little killed a woman while drunk driving and was still accepted back in the league. We also have players that have been involved in selling drugs, beating women, and other assaults. What is heinous and inhumane is how we overlook the fact that deer hunting is legal, and accepted. Maybe if Vick cut off the head of his dog, and put it in his living room you would be more comfortable with him. America and the NFL definetly need to put things in perspective. When was an animal more important than a human!!!!!
I wouldn't mind as long as he ATE the dog. Hunting for food isn't comparable to torturing dogs for gambling money. I'm going to take a special bite of my venison this weekend just for you.
p.s. accidental death (even if he was drunk), selling drugs, and beating women don't compare to torturing animals by the way. Get your priorities straight. If Vick is willing to hurt small animals, what's next? It's the first step to escalation. Or have you never studied psychology?
You would prefer I beat my wife rather that beat my dog?
Name's Tori, not Toni. And we're talking about the death of innocent animals in the name of bloodsport, not beating animals and humans because of our insecurities. You're digging awfully deep to pick a fight. Vick chose helpless creatures that couldn't run away or call the police, that makes him worse than any others out there. If you don't believe this that's your negativity, which is already reflected in your angry tone. Try to relax and have a good evening. Your life shouldn't be so stressful.
some how this turned into a spelling bee
Wake up people....the check is not in the mail. You are not getting paid for writing the best blog about this column. Innocent, guilty, undecided? It really does not matter. Michael is a grown-up, and he is handling this the best way that he knows how. It is not even based on a white or black status....this is a celebrity issue. HIS STORY MAKES MONEY...anything attached to this is about money. You don't believe me? Get caught fighting some pitbulls and see if you get more than probation...if that! It is all about who he is and what his bankroll looks like.....
Praise the Lord!
Michael Vick got caught, so he decided to find God. Praise be his Name!
Vick also heard about those stupid Americans, they'll buy into anything. They'll even believe that, if he tilts his head back and flutters his eyelids a bit, that he must be possessed by the Holy Spirt so he's saved! Let's give him a break on his sentence! Amen! Praise the Lord!
Now only Vick need hire a trainer to teach him how to appear saved so those dumbshit Americans will buy into it.
HAHA
Vick is only apologizing because he got caught. Yes, he's sorry that he won't be overpaid tossing a football around. As far as the race card being pulled, I feel that is not an issue at all! I would be equally inclined to write letters to the NFL asking for his suspension, writing letters to Nike to drop him, and as much as I can do... if he were white or even purple. Bottom line, dog fighting happens all to frequently but because it was someone 'famous' dog fighting has gotten the attention in the media it deserves. Within the last month 32 dog fighting rings have been busted in 15 different states and the Humane Society of the United States has doubled their reward to $5,000 leading to conviction of people affiliated with dog fighting. Vick won't be as sorry as he should be...he will not serve the amount of time in jail that he deserves for his actions.
Truthfully, I am tired of hearing about Vick and the dog fighting. To make valid points, don't be so quick to judge. We have all done things that we shouldn't have done or participated in activities that we knew were inappropiate. White, Black, Red or Yellow! The truth and the whole truth. It is always a race thing. Everything is always a race thing! Bottom line. I don't know why we, as African Americans do foolish things to jepordize our careers and I don't know why the White Man feels as if we aren't allowed to fail and be accepted back but they can do all kinds of Illegal and inhumane things and be accepted back into society. There are alot of talented and highly educated African Americans in this world and those prize possessions can not be taken away whether we are making millions or not. We as people need to learn to stop pointing fingers and use common sense! I've heard some of the most idiotic comments made on public tv and radio stations. I love dogs and I even have a pet cat but to compare the life of an animal to a human being is toooooo much. I mean no animal deserves the right to die because of failed performances but I honestly believe that the media and the NFL took things a little too far. The truth and the whole truth is Michael Vick, you are a very talented African American and you have disappointed the white man. God forgives you for taking the lives those poor innocent dogs, the white man has publically humilated you professionally and to make a long story short, next time, use your time wisely. You are a millionaire and you are fighting dogs???????????? African Americans get it together!!! You got it! God gave it to you! And not even the white man can take it away!!!
