What should Vick do to get back in the NFL...?

ok so the question was what should vick do to get back in the nfl? he needs to behave like a decent human being. and after he's reinstated (because he will be) stay on that good behavior. get involved with animal shelters and charities that have to do with the help of animals. show that you really do care about these creatures. stay away from those who don't. :) make sure your good deeds are known publicly. once in the nfl, participate in their programs that are to help the less fortunate. do what you can to wipe clean the stain of what you did.
 
While I believe Vick is a jerk (before the dog fighting as I couldn't care less about that) he should be reinstated. As long as it's not on the Panthers or the Eagles I don't care where he goes... hopefully a team as bad as Detroit so he has no chance of success :)


Don't we have enough problems already? Take him on your team. Mr. Ford may not be the brightest bulb in the pack, but he would never sign Vick. If he did, that would be the end of the allegiance of the few fans that actually pay to see this train-wreck of a team.
 
I think once Vick has paid his debt to society, and any further debt Goodall comes up with, he should be allowed to play in the NFL. You cannot take away a person's right to make a living.

But not for my team...personally, I could never root for that piece of garbage.

If you care about animals even a little (or even if you don't) and want to be sick to your stomach, read the transcripts of what he admitted to doing to his dogs. The press only reported part of it, which may be a good thing. The cruelty goes far beyond forcing animals to fight each other, which is the perception some people have.

Vick funded and participated in the breeding of dogs who were born for the sole purpose of being sadistically tortured for the enjoyment of human beings. Vick can play in the league, but I can't root for him.

You also have to wonder what some NFL players may be thinking themselves. Of course, an offensive lineman who is getting paid will most likely do his job and protect his QB, even if he is an animal lover. But you do have to wonder if there are some defensive lineman and linebackers who will do their jobs a little better, hit a little harder, maybe do some things on the borderline of the rules, when Vick is on the other side of the ball.

Hypocrisy? Vick was directly responsible for taking the life of a an innocent creature. Yes, I'm well aware that taking a life of a human is more serious than taking the life of a dog, but it's the intended act that most people have a hard time getting around. Stallworth didn't set out that night to kill someone. It was an accident. Vick didn't "accidentally" torture and kill dogs. He meant to do it. BTW, Stallworth will be punished by the court of law as he should be.

Those two statements pretty much sum it up for me. There are accidents and isolated incidents. Vick doesn't fall into either category. Playing in the NFL is a privilege, not a right. With that privilege comes a lot of responsibility. Let him find a regular job, like the rest of us, who pay to watch his kind (athletes, not dog killers) play sports. He should have thought about the consequences when he was killing defenseless dogs for his amusement.

I'm not an NFL fan so I don't know if my 2 cents count here. However, we shall see just how big the mighty NFL is when he does sign with a team (do the Lions need a QB?) and all of the protests start from PETA, etc. What he did struck a raw nerve with a whole cross-section of people who are just waiting to pounce on him and his team upon his return.

Methinks the NFL might have a bit more on it's hands than it thinks it will.;)

I agree Paul, but I wish killing defenseless dogs was the only thing Vick did. Hanging, choking, torturing, electrocuting, sadistically beating defenseless dogs for amusement...dogs whose only crime was that they were not mean enough to perform well in their 'fights' set up for his people's amusement. And this is over a period of YEARS.

How a person could enjoy this, let alone fund it for years, I'll never know. You can take this filth of a 'human being' and put him on another team, but not mine.

And if anyone has been paying attention, I've been blasting Pac Man Jones on this site as well.

that's F* up right there:(. defenseless animals that look to us for care. my opinion is that if someone could do this to a poor defenseless animal, what's to say they wouldn't harm a person whom they have a problem with? very disgusting!

This just made me want to go hug my own dog, Bailey right now. :(

That's what turns people's stomachs. We can all imagine someone like Vick getting hold of our own loving dog, and torturing him or her for his and his friends' amusement. And then doing it to counless other dogs as well while they laugh at the suffering.

Sadistic ****

You go do just that! These babies look to us for food, shelter, and a lil' love and they give us back TOTALLY UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. There is nothing like it...be it form a dog, cat or any other of our pets.

Me? Love all animals but can't have a dog, so I have two big ol' Tom cats!:)
 
Yeah. What Vick did was absolutely disgusting. Him and his buddies are sick, sick people. I just can't imagine what would have to be going on in someone's head to torture an innocent dog.

There you go. Just put that picture in your mind for a couple of seconds....

Anybody here still want Vick back in the NFL?

I'm done on this subject.

Animals are great friends. My dog is sitting on my lap as we speak.
 
LMAO! I give up. I don't know how much clearer I need to clarify my posts. :rolleyes:

Neither could I...I did not say I accept....maybe there is a smudge on your screen or glasses...

That is fine and dandy that he is a lawyer....BUT we are not comparing the law. I think this more of a what you can deal as acceptable...

I don't see anywhere there where it says or intends to say that neither I nor anyone else has claimed they accepted what he did....

:confused:
 
I love goldens. :)

I've got two young children in the house. The older of the two is my youngest son (4 yrs. old) who is two days younger than the dog. My youngest is 18 months. These two have beat the crap out of this dog - pulling on her cheeks, standing on her, pulling her ears, you name it. My golden acts like it's "attention". Not even a growl, no matter what these kids dish out. Great natured dogs. Highly recommended for families with little ones around.
