Comments on: NFL Suspends Michael Vick Indefinitely

Nike Severs Ties With Star QB After He Says He Will Plead Guilty To Conspiracy In Dogfighting Operation

[missut2]

Michael Vick has made more money from endorsements & the NFL than most people earn in a lifetime. The contract he had just signed with the Falcons for $130 million, included a $25-$30 million signing bonus, which he has already received. If he''s convicted, he may have to repay some of that back.
He bankrolled this entire operation & he was the one with the license to breed these dogs. He has been involved with dog fighting since his high school days in Newport News. I understand that he was involved with it while at VaTech.
In addition to the interstate commerce for dogfighting charge, I want him charged with cruelty and abuse. I hope the Feds pull their plea bargain. I understand that the charges against him were mounting every day, so why let him off that easy. He should not be offered any plea bargain for less than the charges, only a reduced sentence. If the Commonwealth of VA decides to bring charges, he could find himself in prison for several years. I hope the justice for all the dogs he mistreated is him never again playing football for money...
Over 50 of his dogs will probably have to be euthanized because they are not adoptable. My heart aches for these dogs...never in their lifetime did anyone ever love them, treat them well, play with them, or show them any kindness...all they ever knew was pain, starvation, isolation and cruelty. Michael Vick is scum...a thug...and his "friends" aren''t to blame...he''s always been a thug. He deserves what he gave...

From reading this article I can understand where Vick gets his anti-social behavior, his father is a real piece of work.

"He asked Vick for $1 million, spread out over 12 years, Vick declined, the father said. Recently, Boddie asked Vick, through an assistant, for $700,000 to live on."

Obviously he has been an absentee father, would love to read about the rest of the family.

He is still accountable for his actions, but from reading his father''s statement, it appears he''s just after the money, it makes you wonder what morals, if any, were taught to this young man.

His father sounds really pathetic, and he knew what was going on but did absolutely nothing to stop it, so he''s just as guilty.

This is one sick family!

arealtexan --- that''s the best idea I''ve heard yet!

[juwboy]

Apparently, real Texans are unAmerican traitors who believe that, in Michael Vick''s case, numerous provisions of that wonderful document, the US Constitution, should be violated in determining his future.

arealtexan, if you don''t like it here in our great country, why don''t you go back to where your ancestors came from?

[infidel_us]

If the feds are allowing him to cop a plea to a low scoring felony, their case must have been very weak. Maybe they didn''t have much on him, afterall.

[arealtexan]

I suggest we coat him in bacon grease and put him in a ring with about four of these pit bulls and let the fun begin.

As to his football career, it''s over, thank goodness. No one is saying he can''t work after he gets out of the pokey, in fact he needs to work. The idea of working at a human society shoveling s.h.i.t. is a good idea, but my suggestion would be he become a dog catcher.

I''m just waiting for Jessie and/or Al to show up.

[blkdog2]

Just b/c Vick won''t ADMIT that he killed dogs doesn''t mean that he didn''t do it. The fact that he ADMITS that he was present & did nothing to prevent the acts, in my eyes, makes him just as guilty as actually doing it. He''s a sick ***. I hope the NFL bans him for life & he moves to France.

Understand one thing, Vick-lovers - this guy got off on watching sadistic torture and death of animals. Now that''s a real role model.

[bustardo]

This plea deal should not be accepted unless he admits to gambling also. The sole purpose of the dog fight is to gamble. Vick needs to be banned from the NFL for life. He does not deserve the mega-bucks that come with sports fame.

[nexgen99]

Vick should be given the same sentence he gave to his dogs. They should pick him up and slam his head into the ground until he succumbs just as he did with his dogs.

[lawandorder7]

Right ON, No football for Vick. He no good for the game. As for making a living. He can get a job, no one said he need not work. As for him and every one else, once you do time you don''t get a dime for free from any one. Make it on your on are don''t make it, The US has to many give aways, jail bireds don''t get any.

[jetlizhan]

vick needs to get use to not having mo'' money - he should forever work at humane society businesses cleaning out dog runs - shoveling s.h.i.t. like the piece of one he is. oh and vick, get use to the wonderful minimum wage thing!!!

[Krazcarl]

I''m behind Vic a white man hate to se his carear go down the tubes for poor choices in friends and a sport that''s not my cup of tea but has been around for a long time.

[cryonbrian]

You people talk so crazy! After a person gets out of prison you do not want them to work? Are you going to take care Vick when he gets out? Had Vick killed a human, it would have been no big deal!

[creeper00]

This piece of scum is trying to salvage his NFL career. Maybe after five years behind bars he won''t be quite as valuable to them.

If there is any justice in the world, Michael Vick will never set foot on a gridiron again.
