cliaz Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Rajncajn stated,"Apologies in advance to Atlanta fans who this does not apply to (Atlanta Cracker etc), but I found it truly sickening & disturbing the amount of "love" Mike Vick got from the fans & players alike. Every time they would shoot the crowd I'd see slews of Vick spamshirts & "Free Mike Vick" signs. I would expect to see it to a small extent, but that was hardly the case. Then to see the players with the #7 on their eye patches(whatever you call them) and Roddy White with the "Free Vick" on his shirt. Do these people actually think that dirt bag deserves to be free? " I just can't hold it no more. Ok. He did what he did. But we do animal testing every day. The tobacco company sells tobacco and kills people every day by doing this. Giving them cancer to suffer with and all that extra. Beer and alcohol company same way kills people in the long run. Make people have accidents. And both are somewhat addicting. YET its still sold everyday in stores. On a side note. They won't allow Josh Gordon to be sold for those somewhat same reasons. When I for one have never heard of someone going out and having accident or Josh Gordon being the lead killer of whatever category. Its just another way the goverment can say you can't do this or that. Killing dogs bad yes. Killing dogs for science good? Eating dogs bad in the USA. Eating dogs in another country good to them. But the sad part is that Vick did what he did and its wrong by US law. But in the end you can kill a duck, bird, or any other animal. Whats the difference its man best friend. Ok maybe its the gambling he did. So u tell me you never in your life gambled? Oh maybe it was by US standards legal going to a casino. Truth is that in the long run everyone gambled one form or fashion and it wasn't legal. Maybe a side bet on a game or card game. The government does as it wishes and allows what they think is right. But if you think about it real hard. Tobacco and alcohol should be banned period. But it makes too much money to band no matter who it hurts or kills. And if thats the case so should be Josh Gordon. But we don't want too many brown people get rich. Because the best Josh Gordon comes from the brown countries. The sadest part about this whole ordel is that President Clinton got impeached almost for a liposuction grandes de la cafe'. President Bush going around doing what in the hell he wants when he wants and not one impeachment being raised. We are going to be in so much debt that the next president isn't going to be able to fix it in one term maybe not even in two. But our priorities are to say that what Mike Vick did was so wrong he should get more time or hes so wrong he should just be pretty much bannished from mankind. When its other things 500 times worst. A blindness to crimes is the tobacco, alcohol and our president doing to our future. Not something that is done under federal guidlines everyday anyway to dogs by having them tested on different drugs and accessories. Yeah he over stepped his bounds and did something he shouldn't have morally. But in reality if you compare what he did to a bigger picture this is a JOKE!!! HELL YEAH! ATTICA! ATTICA! ATTICA!

matt770 Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 As a resident of Atlanta I agree. Thank goodness that most people in Atlanta AREN'T Falcon fans. +1 Moved from the ATL in '05 and miss it like crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broncosn05 Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 It's a southern culture thing. Most Falcons fans are idiots. The only thing that bugged me was the shots of the kids in the #7 spamshirts. What are thier parents telling the kids Vick did? I have to get me a "Free Mike Vick" T-shirt!

isleseeya Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 I found it ridiculous at the extent of the support he got yesterday while i believe people deserve a second chance and forgiveness ( no one is perfect ) , that is a far cry from " free michael vick posters , shirts , etc " that is just being too blind imho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeR Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 I can understand supporting him, I'm just a bit surprised it was on such a large scale. You've lived where the past 20+ years - Antarctica? ie how is this even mildly surprising? He could be caught heading up a child porno ring and would STILL have a lot of supporters/apologists, who constantly remind us why stupidity should be painful.

rajncajn Posted December 11, 2007 Author Share Posted December 11, 2007 You've lived where the past 20+ years - Antarctica? ie how is this even mildly surprising? He could be caught heading up a child porno ring and would STILL have a lot of supporters/apologists, who constantly remind us why stupidity should be painful. Too true. I can understand that his friends and family want to be there for him ie "support" him, but nobody with 1/2 oz of class should be saying he should be free. He'll pay his debt to society & hopefully it will sink in and make him a better man. Only then would I say he deserves a second chance.

number9 Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Wow, lots been said. In the end, rajncajn is right on. A few points: (1) Logical inconsistencies are a part of life, but 2 wrongs don't make a right. (2) Michael Vick is got better than he deserved--now his lawyers are talking about bad decisions--trying to make the whole thing trivial, (3) Michael Vick is clinically depressed--too bad. I'm depressed over my line-up decisions last week--but that's another story. (4) Free Mike Vick??? Come on--Roddy White & Joe Horn think Vick was unjustly imprisoned?? The Hurricane he ain't. (5) Dog fighting is barbaric---if Vick & his kind want dog fighting--go to Afghanistan where they play polo with goat heads. (6) The only thing Michael Vick is repentent about is the fact he got caught. He's a disgusting punk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursa Majoris Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 (4) Free Mike Vick??? Come on--Roddy White & Joe Horn think Vick was unjustly imprisoned?? The Hurricane he ain't. Agree with your post but just to point out that there's plenty of evidence to indicate that Ruben (Hurricane) Carter was indeed completely guilty. Not everything Bob Dylan says is true.

dread Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 What strikes me as odd is that Vick pretty much screwed over his team this season and they act like he is the victim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 DeAngelo Hall, Roddy White and other Falcons face possible fines of $10,000 after sending "personal messages" to former teammate Michael Vick. Hall painted Vick's number on his eye black sticker and carried a poster of Vick onto the field. Roddy White wore a t-shirt that read "Free Mike Vick" and flashed it after scoring a touchdown. As far as tributes to convicted felons go, it was quite touching. Source: sportsline.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
