Well, I cannot say that I don't hate the guy for what he did to those dogs; but he served his time and I doubt he will ever make the same money he did before his arrest. He seems to be genuinely sorry about what he did and wants to play football.

I know a thug when I see one. His dad ain't shit, and neither is his brother. No, he won't change.

The NFL has the most dishonorable scumbags pieces of shit players of all the sports.

That's generally true for a good deal of American sports-players, from what I understand.

I still find it ridiculous how much money professional athletes make.

They're also only getting paid that kind of money for a couple of years before their bodies fall apart on them.

I must not have followed it enough I didn't hear about his family. I just know he had a dog fighting business going on.

His dad was a big time drug dealer who ran his shit out of his sons home. His brother got into a big fight on the football field with a opposite team and was locked up later that year I believe. In court, his father testified against Michael to save his own ass.

Dog fighting is very closely linked to drug dealing. For some sick reason guys that deal drugs like to watch dogs fight each other. Its a horrible sport, I used to live next to a bunch of people who fought dogs.

On another note though, no dogs were probably killed. Most dog fights don't result in death.

That is cause America is based off of capitalism and it would ridiculous for the owners of the NFL to pull in billions of dollars while the players make a salary of like 40,000 grand. Though on a side note yes it is ridiculous for grown men to go out in tights and jersey and play a game of good ole pig skin and make twenty million a year. Yeah it is a steal; is there any thing we can really do about it? No well unless of course we start a socialist revolution. :CHappy:

Or we could stop finding football entertaining. The reason that they make so much is because we like watching them do that sort of stuff. I'm not sure why we'd want to get rid of our own entertainment.

That's generally true for a good deal of American sports-players, from what I understand.

Though since we live in America, we're probably more prone to noticing bad things that American players do. If we lived in other nations, we'd probably notice faults of their players.

Who cares if he is back in, he isn't even on a team.
Also if that retard Pacman jones can come back in 20 times, than vick should be able to be reinstated once.

 

[n2crimson]

Who cares

This... :CHappy:

Dante Stalworth plays for the Cleveland Browns. He got drunk, hit some dudes car and killed him, and only went to jail for thirty days and payed a crapload of money to the dudes family.

Vick runs an illegal dog fighting group and gets two years.

WTheck.

You kill a guy, get thirty days. Kill an ANIMAL, and get 2 YEARS.

That's a very difficult comparison to make a good judgment on though. Stalworth killed the guy by accident. Still entirely his fault for being dumb enough to drink and drive, but it was also still an accident. Plus he paid the guy's family the crapload of money.

Vick willingly profited off the suffering of those dogs, for who knows how long. And obviously there's no way Vick can compensate the dogs' families.

I know, and I detest/abhor/loathe what Vick did (love the doggies), but it's still wrong for a guy to go to jail longer for killing animals than for killing people.

 

[Viggy]

Yeah but you have to take into account that Vick's crime was the more intentional and sinister one, and also Stalworth's compensations for the cost of his stupid mistake.

Yes, it seems Vick's crime is the greater, but staying in jail thirty days and a huge fine after taking a human life is outrageous.

Perhaps Stalworth ought to have stayed in prison longer, but after all the man was a professional athlete. Those kinds of people get off easy all the time. Drinking and driving is a common thing unfortunately, and it kills a lot of people. Dogfighting is a more shocking scandal, leaving the public more outraged with Vick. Which no doubt had a part in his harsher (but very much deserved) sentence.

Blame the family for not pressing charges and being greedy ****ers.
