If you take a good look at many of the people publically defending Vick, there most certainly has been a very subtle implication or should I say suggestion of the race card. They've been very subtle with it. But watch, they (the NAACP, Marbury and so forth) will begin to play the race card in a very obvious and loud manner; if the NFL starts leaning towards banning Vick from the NFL.
There's always the CFL, for Vick. If Canada will have him.
Its more of a celebrity card or a lassie card, but its getting played.
Imagine if this was one of those big ole southern redneck types, theyd be all over him too.0 -

If Ray Lewis can play than so should Vick. I dont care that lewis was acquitted. Its ok to play with guns and hang out with real gangsters, but hey dont touch our pets. Just hard to reconcile.
That's a valid statement. The NFL is definitely upside down, half-assed backwards with their policies.
But in my opinion, neither one should have been allowed back in.0 -

Anyone who is involved in this dispicable behavior should be jumped on and receive severe punishment; regardless of race.
I watched a show on this dogfighting crap, just this past weekend. They had several redneck (white guys) who were involved, on there. I wanted to drag those fuckers through the TV and punch their lights out.0 -

On HBO Sports? I saw that. It almost made me physically sick. Not because it was bloody (which it was) but because it upset me so much. Apparently, on occasion they steal people's pets from backyards and use them to "train" the dogs. :(This is the greatest band in the world -- Ben Harper0 -

I've never defended him he deserves to go to jail and pay several million dollars. I've said he's going to jail serve whatever time is given to him and he'll be released. My point was a preacher's wife seved 6 months for killing her husband and is now seeking to get her dead husband's children back and she'll probably get them back.
Which act was worse?

I wasnt referring to you. Actually I wasnt referring to anyone on this board.
And if that preacher was abusing her, good riddance.Turn this anger into

Jeez, then we should let Vick go. Maybe we should give him back the dogs as well.
Why is a human's death so much worse than these dogs? That is the question you should look for. How have you been so indoctrinated that a human life is worth so much more than an animal's life ? Should it be that way? No.War is Peace

Wait a second, are you saying that killing an animal is the equivalent of taking a human life?"If no one sees you, you're not here at all"0 -

How so? I'm not pushing my views on anyone. I simply answered the guy's question -- a human being murdered is no worse than a dog being murdered to me. That may be too far for you but not for me. As for food, I am a vegan by choice and I push this choice on no one.War is Peace

He is a thug through and through. And he previously proved his stupidity last year. He flipped off the home fans while exiting the field, and then his after game interviews - wow, he's a dumbass. But not much could be dumber than this.
He's dumb. May be he'll grow up, but we'll never know about it. All we'll have is an extremely pathatic story of one the over-hyped sports stars ever and his ugly fall.
And to the basketball player who compared what he did to hunting: apparently you're fucking moron too.bombs, dropping down, please forgive our hometown0 -

Dude that was hard core. That's the most horrific damage to a dog's face I've ever seen, and it still be alive.
I would advise people not to click the link and just take my word for it...it's an extremely disturbing picture.Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
over specific principles, goals, and policies.

Maybe in the mail room... that guy is fast, could you imagine how quick he could get a package up the marketing on the 37th floor?JD Sal wrote:Presently, it's difficult to think of MV coming back to the NFL and being the face of a franchise. He's going to have to attempt to repair his image, and who knows, maybe after he's served the time, and perhaps donated millions to animal rights groups and made whatever restitution possible, the public will be forgiving and grant him a 2nd chance. Only time will tell.
A very rational post... Even if the league bans him, it will be one of those bans where he can apply to be re-instated. If he really turns his life around and becomes an advocate for animal rights or whatever, I'd be willing to give him a second chance, but I don't think that he should be welcomed back just because he serves his time.My whole life
was like a picture
of a sunny day

All you really need to know about how phony college football is...
Michael Vick was actually allowed to enroll at Va Tech.
Stephon Marbury was actually allowed to enroll at Ga Tech.
wow, both of these schools should be publically embarrassed and put on probation for just those two.
Think they actually did any of the class work?My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.0
