I don't understand whay all the distress and hate for Vick?! Ok, I get it, he was the money behind a dog fighting ring, its cruel, its ugly, it leaves a bad taste in your mouth. However, there are guys playing in the NFL right now that have multiple arrests and convictions for drugs, assualt, manslaughter, etc. And Vick is the one causing the outrage? I dont get it! He killed dogs, (dispicable as it may be) it wasnt your grandma he killed in a drunk driving accident, leaving a strip club, with an 8 ball in his pocket! Can someone explain to me why he is worse than these guys?

I really like to know where all this hate is coming from. Mostly all the people in this discussion agree with you. Either the animal rights group has a hell of a lot of power or its personal. Maybe people just don't like Vick. I thought what he did was very wrong, but 2 year was too much. Now they are crucifying him further. I do believe however if he becomes a starter and brings Philly or any team in the future to the playoffs, he will be forgiven, even loved. Very sad America.

Apparantly it is because people seem to care more about animals than other human beings. What he did was not right but there have been far worst actions. Stallworth kills a human and gets 30 days in jail and the people seem to not mind. Vick killed a few dogs and the world is coming to an end. Like I said it wasnt right but people are just ridiculous.
