Exactly Ducks and why is that?

Because most people still think "they were just dogs....."

Anytime someone says "I love animals BUT..." what they mean is "it's just an animal." And those people suck.

As for Dick, I repeat what I said at my forum. His mama ought to be shot for birthing him.

"Commissioner Roger Goodell conditionally lifted Vickâ€™s suspension on July 27, allowing him to sign with a team, practice and play in the last two preseason games. Once the season begins, Vick can participate in all team activities except games, and Goodell said he would consider Vick for full reinstatement by Week 6 (Oct. 18-19) at the latest."

A parent cannot be responsible for the behavior of their grown children, Red. That was an unkind comment.

Vick has to take the responsibility for his actions. He served his time (which was not long enough) but his future actions should be scrutinized at all times.

It illustrates how money and professional sports has their own set of values. What should the public do-boycott any game he is in, not purchase any product that proceeds would go to him. But will they do it. No, all they care about is football.

Good luck Phili', I wouldn't want my home team to have him, even though I care 'nuttin' much about football. Not a good thing at all.

You are so right about money Chonsi...my own daughter even thought it was stupid pick for the birds...besides they stink anyway...they get so close to the superbowl every year and then blow it. I don't watch it either and I don't care how great they think he is. He's a pig in my book.

I do not know how she raised him. It can not always be blamed on the parents for what a child becomes-he is an adult. He made his own decisions. It is her sad fate to always have to live with this-her son is a bad person, he spent time in jail. It is a parent's worse nightmare. That always remains within a parent's mind, that no matter how well you raise your children, something like this could happen. But the blame cannot always be laid at their door. An individual must take the responsibility for their own actions.

Your quote, saying he should be shot, or her, was what I was refering to.

They are saying on the sports radio that Andy Reid the coach knows what it's like to forgive. He has two sons both of whom are doing/did drugs, caused accidents, etc. One is still in prison becuase of the drugs & I think the other son went back because he flunked a drug test.

That's ludicrous. I saw, with my own two eyes, one of the pits he used to fight, how it ended up in TN they couldn't disclose

but anyway... the poor creature was so scarred and beat down. Poor spirit was beat down too. If she had been remotely dog friendly I would've taken her home with me but they told me it would be entirely too dangerous for my other two pits

It just burns my ass that his punishment was so light and here he is just a few years later right back on top walkin about with a chip on his shoulder as if nothing had happened. It's a laugh in the face to animal rights.

Absolutely right and that's exactly what it comes down to. If this had been a high school football player or college even ... I could almost guarantee the only football action he'd see would be others playing.

And if we did boycott I have no doubt in my mind it would only make him more popular. He's feeding off of the controversy as we speak so we'd only make it more glorious for him when he gets to play anyway.

Well thats the football league for you isn't it? They are only interested in great players no matter if they beat animals, wives, girlfriends, etc. A slap on the hand for them...and yes, it is a disgrace. They don't consider it a big deal.

Forgive, and forget.

All right, he did his time. Go away silently, and become a valuable member of society, and that doesn't mean taking a position that is sadly a role model for children. (what happened to better role models than sport figures!)

By re-instateing this man his vile actions have been condoned because by not actively condemming his actions society is condoning it.

They will now pay him heaps of money for playing a game , he may be given contracts for product endorsments and paid millions for that , he will be cheered by thousands of adoring ( blind) football fans and no doubt he will have the fantastic woman on his arm.

Little wonder then that children will say 'I want to be like him' the will hold him up as a role model and try to emulate him.

And then we( society) have the nerve to blame the youth for their heartlessness and antisocial criminal behaviour.. surely its our fault for not providing better role models for them to emulate.

But hey it was only a dog right? ... Wrong... its an indication of just how sick and depraved our society has become when sport and money and greed overtake the value of living creatures .....

Sweet deal for Vick 1.2 or 1.5 million the first year of a 2 year contract to be a backup quarterback who will be sitting on the bench. I don't care if he has done his time he hasn't proved anything to the community yet and should have never been allowed to play in the NFL again.

What disturbs me more is Tony Dungy is supporting him I respect Dungy as a coach and a person not sure what is going on with that.

This isn't a shocking shift in sports mentality, IMO.

It's the exact same attitude that is applied to boys participating in sports from the time they are young. They are taught early in life, that they are somehow above the rules of regular kids.

Locally, the boys on the teams get good paying summer jobs with the city. We're talking much better then a regular kid pushing fries at McDonald's. And what do you see? Three of them hosing down public gardens around town.. teams of three, because of course one could not possibly hold the hose alone..:rolleyes:

They don't get detention that interferes with games or practice. They don't get arrested when the police break up after game parties.

Of course he's special. He's an athlete. He's not being arrogant. He's merely accepting what he's been taught is due him.

And for all our pissing and moaning, we allow this to continue every year with every new batch of kids signing up for sports across America. Because it's not at all about how we play the game... It's about Winning!

I agree it is that way in professional sports on most levels, but not on all levels. The WPS women's professional soccer started up again this year and these young ladies are the best of the best at the game from all over the world. They are paid and are excellent roll models for young women.

I think where we fail is with our young men and role models.

It's not like a person becomes 30 and then says "Ah, fk it, I raised myself." That's silly. And now that's what this forum is saying. "He made his own decisions." Yeah.

I agree and disagree with the fact that parents should be blamed.

On the one hand, if a parent is completely nonchalant about their child's rearing and allows it so much freedom that it practically raises itself. As a result, this child will have no bounds and discipline is a four letter word. Yes, the parents are to blame here.

However, on the other hand, the parents can do absolutely everything right down to the letter. If I can say anything about my parents, they did right by me as a child. I got my ass whooped when I screwed up and grounded more than I can recall. They didn't let me get away with crap! And yet, somehow in my early twenties I became a pothead and snorted my fair share of swirly gaggers. No need to continue with my indiscretions

:wah: but you get the point.

I made my own decisions because I have a brain separate from theirs and no amount of rearing was gonna stop me. Am I proud, hell no, but I take full responsibility for my actions and could never point a finger at my folks for me being an occasional fk up.

Whether or not Vick's mother was a good parent really doesn't matter. He, as an adult, chose to be a blazing idiot and noone is to blame but his pompous ass and now the NFL for thinking his football skills overshadow the fact that he broke the law.

I understand the fire behind your comment that stirred up so much heat but really it's his ass that should be shot. I would prefer something like chinese water torture, but that's just me.

Patsy Warnick · Post by **Patsy Warnick** » Fri Aug 14, 2009 9:43 pm

Well, I'm jumping in late again but, here it goes....

Vick - you & I & all here are brought up & taught right & wrong..

Whether rich or poor, and I was poor, there's no where in my upbringing that indicates Dog Fighting is a positive - benefit to any one or anything...

now - Vick worked hard to become athlete - he did that as a right, so the man isn't dumb..

This large athlete's ego demostrated stupidity with illegal Dog Fighting.

Key word ILLEGAL - however he was punished by law & served his time.

so, do we wipe our hands clean & let Vick say "put me in coach"...!!!!

Hell NO ...!!!!!

Vick did his time like anyother Ex-Con - but to resume his position..?

I say Vick should be saying "paper or plastic"

or " do would want a large order of Fries with that order"

Who the heck would be proud to hire this jerk..?

he's a disgrace and we're now teaching KIDS "see what you can get away with".

Look at other athletes - Pete Rose for example, he gambled, placed questionable bets, yet kicked out of rank/any hope to be in the Baseball Hall of Fame..yes I know "they're" considering Pete's rank now....after years & years fighting for his status.

I say let the dogs loose on Vick...

he makes me sick & so does the Football organization for allowing Vick to continue to play - I hope the other team mates kick his A$$$$$$...

Interesting point of view. It is completely your option to forgive and forget.

I have read and I have watched and the only error of his ways that I think Vick has seen is the error of getting caught.

Hoppy - he electrocuted, hung and slammed DOGS on the pavement until they were dead. He paid money to watch dogs ripp each other apart. He took his FAMILY PETS and threw them into a pit with trained fighting dogs and LAUGHED while they were torn to shreds.

Forgiven? Not by me.

Punished forever. No. But if I was convicted of a crime - any crime - I certainly would not get my job back when I got out of jail. Sure, he should be allowed to go on, make a living and a life for himself. But by making that living in the public eye - it is saying that killing living things for pleasure is a-ok. Is that really the message you want sent?

RedGlitter · Post by **RedGlitter** » Sat Aug 15, 2009 8:14 am

Forgiveness is God's job, not mine.

If he had killed a child no one would be forgiving. An animal doesn't feel any less pain and is no different. I'm not going to argue that point again, that is how I see it.

You want my forgiveness, you'd better earn it and there's nothing that garbage can do to redeem himself in my eyes. Nor should there be.

but.. Have you ever seen these dog fights? Have you seen what's left of the dog if it even survives?

I am one who tries very hard at the whole forgiveness bit but this wasn't a one time occurrence and it wasn't something in his past that he had grown out of and learned was wrong. He got busted and had he not he would still be doing it.

Forgive him? Sure.

But like one said, give him his job back? psh, yeah :rolleyes:

If forgiveness is what he wants, make him start at the bottom. Make him endure all the try-out processes, bust his ass and PROVE he deserves a place, don't GIVE him one like it's his right. ohmygod :-5 he just gets my heat boiling and I'm as big of football fan as the next.

But, not everyone shares this opinion, obviously. Now, those of us that are disappointed with the decision of the powers that be, we just have to sit back and watch his megalomania expand to ridiculous heights.

Does football require many brain cells? I'm thinking not. I'm thinking Vick was a dumb guy who had little other option and I'm thinking it's a damned sad state of affairs when all we care about is stupidass sports figures.

I'm also thinking if he had taken a five year old kid and slammed it down head first on the pavement or electrocuted it or set dogs on it or slashed its throat or drowned it in the bathtub, no one would be yammering on about forgiveness and great football skills, would they?

Actions speak louder than words.

It's an unwritten law. Jocks can do no wrong.
