 Vick Signs With the EaglesPosted on Aug 14, 2009
Disgraced quarterback Michael Vick, formerly of the Atlanta Falcons, has found a new job with the Philadelphia Eagles. It seems that the once-superstar athlete, jailed for two years for his involvement in a dog-fighting circuit, will be back in the NFL, much to the dismay of animal rights activists.

All you fucking hypocrites make me sick. It wasn’t enough for you beast-huggers to cost Mr. Vick his $100million dollar contract, lose all endorsements, and spend two years in prison. Now that the Philadelphia Eagles signed Mr. Vick to a one-year contract, you beast-lovers are gnashing your teeth. If I were Mr. Vick, I WOULDN’T GIVE ANY SO-CALLED ANIMAL RIGHTS GROUP ONE FUCKING PENNY!!!!!!!! IN FACT, HE SHOULD SUE THESE FUCKERS INTO BANKRUPTCY. If you don’t want to see Mr. Vick play football, then DON’T WATCH DAMMIT. TELL THESE ANIMAL FIRST NUTS TO TAKE A BATH, USE PLENTY OF SOAP, AND GET A REAL JOB. STOP EXTORTING BLACK ATHLETES ON BULLSHIT ISSUES LIKE DOG FIGHTING.

I agree, he should donate time and money to help animals.

He got caught. The vast majority who commit horrific acts of animal cruelty are not caught, or are ignored, or advised to seek some kind of “treatment,” as if lecturing someone will cure his appetite for causing unimaginable pain and suffering among our fellow creatures.
All our wrath about such barbaric behavior seems to be directed toward this one individual, as if it weren’t a pervasive practice, as if it didn’t signify a deepseated malignancy in the human psyche as a whole.

Michael Vick has repaid his debt to society but I think if he aligned himself with pets organizations and donated his time, that would help his image. The Eagles will have a great backup if Donovan gets hurt so it’s cheap insurance for that franchise.

Dog fighting, Cock fighting, IFC and female mud wrestling, I love them all.
One can’t deny nature has something to do with it.

I live in Southern NJ, and have for most of my life. I am a die hard Eagles fan. I will be boycotting the Eagles this year.
And no, I will never be a Cowboys fan.
So, I guess it’s the Giants. Yea.

Involvement? Let’s be honest, he personally killed innocent dogs himself. I love how the press is saying he just bankrolled it.

It seems to me that in order for Vick to show proper repentence he should donate half his salary to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelity to Animals.
