   As an owner of a pitbull, I have a few words to say.

   I will agree that Vick should play in the NFL after he pays for his crime. No problem.
   And I hope someone levels him on the playing field and breaks his piece of shit ass like he did to those innocent animals. This is not a racist issue. If this was Peyton Manning, I would feel the same way.
   He is a criminal and must pay the price of committing a federal crime.
   He is a dumb, ignorant, killer of dogs.
   Please also realize, he wasn’t that good as a QB. He has 2 or 3 good games per year at best.
   At best. Overrated.
   He could be without a doubt the dumbest person in the history of the NFL. Doesn’t he know that fighting dogs has been illegal since 1978? Gamble on the horses or go to Mohegan Sun.

   Someone should put hot dogs in his boxer shorts and throw him in a pit ring. Or, better yet, put alligator clams on his ears and electrocute him. He is a piece of shit. A hot steamy piece of shit.

   Whatever way you NAACP people look at it, he is going to go to hell when he dies. To hell. So, stop making this guy out to be a saint.

   And Stephon Marbury… Oh my, how dumb are you? Since when is dog fighting a sport, jerk off? Maybe in the projects.
   Keep tatooing yourself and blowing games for the Knicks.

   I am all for the idea that animals should not be abused, but you PETA folk are using Micheal Vick as a posterchild for your cause. He should not go to jail over this crap. Fined heavily yes! jail hell no. I support Micheal Vick, and for those of you fortuate enough to reap the benefits of “the WHITE privillege”, of course you fail to see this as racial. If he were white this would not happen. I SUPPORT MIKE VICK!!!

   This is nothing but a modern day lynching of a black man. It’s very Racial. I don’t agree with the suspension from the NFL. Arthur Blank used Vick to get ticket sales and now he’s kicking Vick to the curb. How low down is that. Every TRUE Fan should boycott the Falcons and the NFL.

   To those people supporting Mike Vick.. I suppose you don’t have animals? If so, should we go found and beat them today or tomorrow and see how you feel about it. Vick is a piece of shit, lower than any animal. jail would be too good for this man.

   Vick is a herpes-infected, weed-smoking, dog-killing thug! He’s psychotic and sociopathic. HE IS responsible for his asinine actions. He is incredibly stupid, lacks morals, has no compassion, only thinks about himself. He’s not even a good football player. He’s over-rated and paid way too much money. Kudos to Goodell for suspending him indefinitely. Vick will rot in hell with the rest of his dogfighting thug buddies. Screw ‘em all.

   I am the proud owner of an “attention” hound. I love my dog and think he’s best thing since wonder bread, but he’s not a human. This whole issue is being blown way out of proportion. I’m not quite sure about the whole racial part, though I’m sure it plays some role. Animals are important in the world as they exist and need to be taken care of. But if Michael Vick is supposed to serve jail time for animal crimes, then every wife beater, child abuser, and other “less offensive” criminals (according to some of you Vick opposers/animal activists) should be already imprisoned. What ever happened to the emphasis being placed on people? We have people who are wronged on an everyday basis- those who are subjected to all variations of social injustices, and yet still… it seems as though animals are more important than children who are abandoned or in foster homes. There are all types of animal lovers who are more than willing to go adopt cute little labradoodles and other fascinating pooches, but how many actually go out and take care of a child in that same capacity?

   Couple quick catch up responses as the owner of the site.

   Rico, this site has been against any and all types of violence as directed towards or against Michael Vick. I think your comments were directed to poke fun at the fact that Vick is a football player and might find a football type of justice on the field. Vick has definitely hurt the NFL and other NFL players in this scandal and th sport is definitely one designed to hurt people, while executing a game and a strategy. I wouldn’t agree with the suggestion as I think Vick would profit from the negative notoriety, kind of like OJ trying to sell a book titled “If I did it” (note at this point OJ is actually innocent legally and Vick is admittedly guilty)

   Jashell, for what its worth, I’m not a member of PETA and this site has nothing to do with PETA, other than the fact that 1-2 of their positions are listed here along with a dozen others. I disagree with PETA more than I agree with them.

   Fan4Vick, I’d suggest that this is not a lynching. Criminally, the dogs were wronged and Vick broke the laws of the land. He deserves what he gets from the justice system. From a business perspective he did something that was not illegal, but was definitely career suicide. He managed to do something so mean, cruel and cowardly that he has done what no politician or entertainer has been able to do since 9/11, he united most of the country against his acts. The thing is we (all us football lovers) are the ones that made it possible for him to earn all that money. Playing good (or average -> I thought it was good myself) doesn’t provide the funding for the paychecks and the endorsements. That comes from the fans and consumers. We buy the tickets and buy the advertised product and that put money in the companies hands that went to Vick’s bank account which went towards buying and torturing dogs. He used the money we gave him to kill and torture dogs. He screwed us all over. He showed his contempt for his fans and for football lovers. Screw Vick’s career. I’m 34, I’ve had 7 careers (Construction, Sales, Army, Data Entry, Contractor, Accountant, Writing). Lots and lots of Americans lose their jobs and have to pick them selves up by their boot straps and start over for reasons that are not even their fault.

   Vick had a great thing and he screwed it up. Let him learn how to pick himself up and get going again just like almost every other American can expect to do a half dozen or more times through their lives.

   Patrick, I think Goodell plans to take Vick to the bank one more time and milk him like a prized cow. He could have suspended him for life like Pete Rose was suspended in baseball. Goodell left his business options over, and I think Vick will be back (next summer possibly, the year after that probably). Goodell wants to turn the Vick lemon in to lemonade and sell Vick like he’s a slave or something. People are saying that Vick should be allowed to play in the NFL again, but the more this conversation gets batted around the more analogies I see in comparing the NFL to something far more evil.

   Sean,
   I agree all the other offenses need to be covered as well. There are definitely worse things happening. Just think what Vick could have done with a small amount of his money or even donating a few hours for a public service announcement to help any of those more important causes along. Vick did nothing but act like a barbarian. Vick is not lower than a dog(insinuated elsewhere) Vick’s crimes are not worse than many, but they are crimes and the truth is that he is going to skate away from almost all those crimes with a slap on the wrist because he was able to use those millions of dollars and buy some great lawyers. I have nothing against him putting up a good legal defense. There are a large number of African American men in the US prison system that are there unjustly and could be free today if they could pay for a good defense.

   But the public and the fans do not need to be duped in this situation. We can see and understand what Vick did and didn’t do in this case and it all points to the fact that he does not deserve public support, does not deserve the fans that adored him and looked up to him and taught their kids about football using Vick as an example and role model, he doesn’t deserve the insane pay checks and endorsements. Deep down he must have possible felt guilty about that himself or some crazy thing, Its stupid, but for some stupid reason he chose to throw it all away, sacrifice his popularity, his fame, part of his fortune and maybe his freedom for what
   to kill dogs and watch them die while betting on the spectacle.

   @Fan4Vick:
   I’m under the impression that you don’t know the actually dictionary meaning of the word “lynch,” so I took the liberty of looking it up for you:
   http://wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=lynch

   lynch - VERB - to kill without legal sanction

   Ironically, Michael Vick ADMITTED to committing both felony and misdemeanor crimes, so I believe the “legal sanction” part of the term has been satisfied. Yet, that whole “to kill” part still hasn’t been satisfied yet. He’s still breathing and walking around and what not. Well, unless of course if you consider the fact that Michael Vick killed those dogs. But I don’t think that one can really “lynch” himself by killing another living creature. So, no, I’d have to disagree with you. This has absolutely nothing to do with “lynching a black man.” It does, however, have everything to do with punishing a criminal for his crimes. And as an American citizen, I have every right to boycott and protest a person or company when that person or company has done something that I do not agree with, especially when said person or company’s action is in direct conflict with my moral and ethical beliefs. So please stop stepping on my toes and trying to take away my rights by turning this into a race issue, when it has nothing to do with race. I, and everyone else who wants to punish and boycott Vick, have the right to do so, no matter how much melanin his body produces or from where his ancestors hailed. I’d also appreciate it if you open a dictionary and ensure that you fully understand an analogy before you make it. Oh, and I’d also appreciate it if you took the time to actually understand what was involved in lynching a black man. Michael Vick’s “suffering” from losing money and contracts is, I’m sure, nothing compared to the immense pain that is associated with having boiling tar poured on your skin. And, of course, having feathers put on top of the tar, so the tar cannot cool and solidify, thus continuing to burn your skin as you die a slow and painful death. That sounds more like something Vick would do to a dog than it sounds like what the American public is doing to Vick.
