If he donates 10% of his salary to ASPCA: The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, until then, I will speak out against him.

they way i see it is yeah he did his time and he should be able to earn a living or whatever but the difference is the guy isnt going back to a job at the post office or walmart he is going into the NFL that generates its revenue from fans. they buy tix to see vick they buy vick jerseys ect... so it is a matter of public opinion and i do think the fans or non fans play a role in this and have a right to get mad. if he wanted to go live a private life thats one thing but signing right back to the NFL he is putting himself out there. your right players have countless drug charges no one cares. gun charges ehh . those i think are looked past as they are seen and dumb self destructive decisions. its different when the perception that the team leader the QB had a hand in torturing animals which most people are very sympathetic too.

so under that rationale i think the criticism and outcry is justified. im not a big NFL fan but if he had signed with the panthers i just like any other local fan would have the right to be upset or not with the team not buy his merchandise or attend games

that would be even crazier than signing with miami... imagine a 3 back back feild.. vick, j. stewart, and deangelo williams.... its like a three headed wild cat monster...

i understand ppl's negative sentiments about him... the thing that bothers me about people though, is that they prolly have double standards or are hypocritical... if ur across the board against animal cruelty... i hope ur a vegan as well ... i hope u also wish harm towards those who go out to hunt wild life for fun...

then again ppl have their right to express their opinion... i just also believe in second chances and would never wish harm upon anybody regardless of who you are... unless you cut me off in the road... thats a diff story..
