Watercooler Chat: Michael Vick indicted
Michael Vick, star quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons, has been indicted on dog fighting charges. He hasn’t been convicted yet, but he’s in real trouble. In case you didn’t know, dog fighting is illegal and really sick. I’ve never seen it (or ever will) but it’s incredibly inhumane and incredibly brutal. In addition, Vick is charged with killing a number of dogs that were unable to fight. And, he apparently killed them in a really disgusting manner; hanging, strangling, drowning and smashing on the floor. Whether or not Vick actually gets convicted of this illegal crime, his reputation is shot. I can’t imagine he will ever get another sponsorship deal. Who in their right mind would want someone like that endorsing their products? I’m sure we’ll be hearing more on this story as details come out, but as of now, I’m thoroughly disgusted and can’t imagine a person in their right mind who would torture dogs for sport.

that is just crazy. he must be a sick f*%k! this is so wrong. they better sentence him.
With Michael Vick, it's just a shameful thing. You'd think he'd get enough aggression out on the field. I admit it, I have been a fan of his talents on the field, but I can't separate it anymore.
The Falcons' coaching staff must have known Vick was at least as likely to get arrested as injured, so even though newly signed Joey Harrington is a NON rushing QB who throws just as many interceptions as Vick, with Harrington's good guy status and talent, Atlanta will have a chance again.
Let's hear it for Michael Vick. Finally, his bad decisions on the field now mirror his moronic decisions off it. He's like one of his pit bulls, all muscle, teeth and aggression without brain cells to do anything but fight. The big difference -- he's not being chained to a car axle and executed if he underperforms.
Which brings me to my main point -- since he's pretty much performed WAY below expectations his entire career, if he's convicted, authorities do the same thing to him as he's done to his dogs.
We wet him down and stick an electrode up his ass.
If they need a volunteer to pull the switch, I'll fly out on my own dime. Would be worth it to see Vick howl.
You can also show your disgust with Vicks's actions by contacting the NFL and the Atlanta Falcons. You can also contact Vick's endorsement companies such as Nike, Coca Cola and Kraft Foods and let them know that you condemn this cruelty and they should too.
if he is found guilty, I hope they burn his ass. I cant imagine this happening on your land and you not knowing about it. It takes two things to commit this crime. NO morals and no concience. Even people that are not animal lovers better realize that anybody that could do this would do the same to women and children. This makes me sick!!!
you know, you can forgive steroids, you can forgive drugs, you can forgive gambling. You cant forgive this. If this is all true, he needs to be kicked out of the Falcons forever.
Vick must go!!! I myself will never attend another NFL game if this creep is still playing. He is a disgusting animal and I hope he is put in jail forever.
It is so amazing that people can judge others. We all have skeletons in the closet and I am and will always be a MICHAEL VICK fan, to all of you that is so disgusted, get over it!!! I don't support his poor judgement, but who are any of us to judge anyone, we can't. Kids are abused, molested, and even killed everyday, where is the advocates looking out for our children!!! but hey never mind the important issues that really matter, something is more important and that is Michael Vick and dogs, by the way it was never reported that he killed any dogs. Everyone on here that has written something negative, remember you are not perfect and you've done things in your past that would have others judge you!!!

2 the MV7 haters, "HATE IF YOU WANT TO, BUT YOU'RE WAISTING YOUR TIME" FIND SOMETHING BETTER TO DO THAN JUDGE OTHERS AND WHO CARES IF ANY OF YOU EVER GO TO ANOTHER FALCONS GAME AND TO THE PERSON THAT THINKS VICK LACKS TALENT, YOU ARE SO SAD, BUT I DO UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE BROKE!!!! AND HE ISN'T! JEALOUSY IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOO UGLY
Don't twist words, it was never reported that Vick killed any animals. Please don't spread rumors, you weren't there and neither were any of you females that lacks knowledge. Stop passing judgement and lets see what happens
People lets not become so involved with this Mike Vick issue. We all have a difference in opinion. There is so many different sides to this story, and only GOD knows the truth and only GOD can judge. Eventhough I have a dislike for pitts, the way the media described the brutal acts against these animals is disturbing. We are only going by what the MEDIA has put out and of course they make it sound worse than what it really is! Lets not forget that there are so many things going on in the world, and i'm sorry but Michael Vick and dog fighting is not on a list of top priorities. Let the wheel of justice run it's course and stop with the acqusations. We can assume alot, but the first 3 letters in ASSUME is ASS, and because he hasn't been convicted of anything don't ASSume anything, because in the end you'll look like the "ASS".
WE all have to and need to understand that No one is perfect and everyone makes mistakes and if you think you're without flaws then you are in denial. "Perfection is something everyone strives for, but none has ever achieved it"! Keep an open mind before you convict someone!
EVERYONE IS SO QUICK TO JUDGE MICHAEL VICK BEFORE HEARING HIS SIDE OF THE STORY. I AGREE WITH THE LAST COMMENT THAT IT IS MUCH MORE IMPORTANT THINGS IN THE WORLD THAT SHOULD BE FOCUSED ON RATHER THAN TRYING TO RUIN THIS MAN'S LIFE. I AM A VICK SUPPORTER AND I URGE ANYONE ELSE TO PLEASE SHOW YOUR SUPPORT BY GOING ONTO http://www.myspace.com/vicksupporters AND LEAVING A KIND WORD TO SHOW MICHAEL THAT HE DOES STILL HAVE PEOPLE OUT HERE WHO LOVE AND SUPPORT HIM.
Let's see... a kind word for Michael Vick. Dear Michael, I'm really sorry that Monique, jewels and VIckfan4life are supporters of yours. It's hard when the only people you have in your corner are morons and spineless losers. I truly feel for you. When you go to bed at night, after spending a harmless day torturing animals... or flipping off a stadium filled with people... or trying to slip through an airport with illegal substances... or giving up on your teammates during a game... I truly hope you have a good night sleep. I hope that one day you'll treat these women who believe in you as well as you do your family pets... by one day wetting them down and sticking electrodes up their naive little asses.
Notice Monique that I used the word asses... because I truly believe that I don't have to ASSUME you have crap for brains. With the size of your ass, I imagine it's a given.
iam a big fan of mike vick and this is the time that us as fans need to stand behind him so MIKE keep your head up no matter what in to yall haters get a life
iam a big fan of mike vick in to all the hater out there like we say in atlanta (kill yo self ) dont judge people when you dont no facts
Well..now that Vick had to confess, where are all you supporters now...yes now that he's lied, now that he's guilty of exploiting other living things that are at a disadvantage, now that he is guilty of cold-blooded cruelty, I ask where the F are you now? Just think, if you've never shared kindness-for-kindness with a dog and never looked into the eyes of it all, number one, you've missed out. Number 2, if you live w/in a50 mile radius of where this scumbag Vick pulled this off and your dog came up lost during this time, by his pleading guilty you can justly assume that MFer stole your pal and mercilessly threw him in a pen to die a terrifying & horrific death. If that MFer stole my dog, I'd hunt his ass down and put a bullet straight in his ugly corn-rowed head and no judge or prosecuter in the land would be able to shake the smallest bit of remorse out of me. Throw the book at Vick and scorn the shallow fools who defend the indefensible.
at least this whole thing has created an awareness about dog fighting and animal cruelty. Michael Vick items can be bought with donations going to animal rescue. Check out: http://stores.buyitsellit.com/dogpile/ - they really make their point

we have had it!!! all these so called celebs or sports role models....rehab people.....all of them. everybody just white washes it and they get off and life goes on. but LOOK at our world. it's time they're all accountable for their actions... for breaking the LAWS.
now, michael vick has all of a sudden 'found jesus' and wants to AX for forgiveness! NO! we've had it!! he can serve his time just like i would have to, or you. he did a horrible thing......i'd like to see him fight to the death Just like those poor dogs did. now he has to give some money back to the nfl.......well, yeah!!
wake up wake up wake up.........he's only a football player!!! NAIL HIM he broke the law....and now he's a blubbering coward.
oh....wait a minute, hank aaron says he beleives that mike is really sorry. you damn skippie he's sorry. sorry he got caught! do we really want a sicko running around loose, who did all those terrible. tortuous things to animals? i wonder...'whos the animal?' i notice all the signs 'i love vicks' outside the court house. children, this is not a black/white thing. it's a LAW thing and he admits he's guilty. 'nuff said.
What has happened to this world when animal life is valued over human life.A woman kills her husband get 3-7 months in jail.A man kills a dog and gets crucified.Might be going to jail for six years.Where is the justice in that.And then all of you people talk about doing the same things to him that he did.That makes you no better than he is.Just like he didn't give those dogs life,you didn't give him life and neither one of you have the right to take life.No one here has the right to judge anyone,that is left up to GOD and as long he forgives him it doesn't matter what you or anyone else on this board says.Bcause the bottom line is u didn't make this man & u can't break this man.But what is funny to me is how people loved him as long as they could control him but as sson as he messed up you want to crucify him.So if and when he gets through this my advice to him is do you and the hell with people cause as you can see they only love you for a season.
If there is anything good about the Michael Vick story, it is that there is an emerging increased awareness about animal cruelty and animal fighting. However...
I think it is a sad commentary that we, as a culture, are using the Vick story to compare "What's worse?" "What's worse", we ask, "carelessly fathering illegitimate children, or dogfighting?". "Dogfighting or gambling?" "Dogfighting or rape?" "Dogfighting or racism?" "Dogfighting or hateful nationalism?" "Dogfighting or (fill in the blank)....?" The comparisons to dogfighting have been endless.
Dogfighting is one more piece of evidence our country is in need of a spiritual transformation (please note I said spiritual and not necessarily religious). Animals are sentient beings - they feel pain, and they suffer, just like we do. They are not more important, or less important than human beings, but like human beings, they are important, too.
Every major faith teaches its followers to be responsible stewards of animals and the Earth. Please help us get the word out that caring for animals, just like caring for people, is an important part of just being a decent person and citizen. If we make this a priority, there will be no more dogfighting horror stories, and no more pointless comparisons of evils. Let us all rise, together, to be better people than we are today, shall we?
