Title: Michael Vick needs to be suspended.
Post by: Kelly Jane on July 23, 2007, 09:59:50 AM
 
Call (212) 450-2000 to urge the NFL to immediately suspend Vick from the league under strong suspicion of criminal activity, and to allow him to play again only if he is pronounced innocent by the courts.

Will do, do you have an email for them too? That is easier for some poeple.

But got to warn you,  all the Michael Vick threads get moved here by the Mods. For some reason they see this as a sporting issue.  :-\

Guilty until proven innocent?  What a novel concept!


I'm glad you weren't one of the folks authoring our Constitution.  :-\

The NFL doesn't have to abide by that, the evidence is overwhelming. They could suspend him for just being associated with the Dog Fighting ring, even for just going to one event. They have that authority. They should use it.

I didn't say they couldn't do it.  I suggested that until he is proven guilty, out of fairness they shouldn't do it.  The presumption of innocence for people accused of wrongdoing is an important principle in our society, and it's sad that so many low-IQ types ignore it.  If Vick is proven guilty, fine, throw the book at him...  but until that happens, it's just an accusation.  What If I accused you of being a pedophille?  Should your employer fire you now, or maybe should they wait to see if it's true or not?  ::)

Atlanta Falcons Quarterback Faces Felony Dog Fighting Charges
Urge the NFL to suspend Michael Vick from play under strong suspicion of criminal activity
 
You may have heard the news that Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick faces felony charges and possible prison time for animal abuse stemming from alleged dog fighting activities. He is accused of running an interstate dog fighting ring, and of killing numerous dogs himself -- by shooting, hanging, drowning, and electrocution -- simply because they were not good fighters.
 
While Vick continues to maintain his innocence, the evidence against him is substantial and still mounting. Authorities found more than 50 pit bulls, along with a full supply of standard dog fighting equipment (including a "rape stand" used for forced breeding, treadmills, drugs to increase aggression, and a bloodstained fighting pit), at Vick's Virginia home.
 
The charges against Vick are very serious, and if they are true, he must be severely punished. Lawmakers increased the penalty for dog fighting in May 2007 with passage of the Animal Fighting Prohibition Enforcement Act, which doubles the potential prison sentence for those who engage in the interstate transport of animals used for fighting. Vick could face several years in prison and several hundred thousand dollars in fines if he is found guilty of conducting dog fighting activities across state lines.

they're working out a deal where vick is paid but doesn't take the field this year.  he's not going to practice this week.

he'll never see a down of football this year (until his friend takes all the blame of course).

everyone getting all riled up, don't bother.  The NFL doesn't want to have 20,000 motivated, pissy people throwing pennies at Vick for 16 games.  And they don't want a 6-month black eye.  And vick doesn't want some crazy PETA member with some incurable disease throwing shots his way.

Here is the Humane Society's setup to protest Vick.  Nicely done.

why pay the bastard?. As I said the NFL is not a democracy, they can look at the evidence for themselves and make a decision. There is no doubt he broke the decency conduct rules.

What a bunch of wimps they are trying to ride the fence. Funny how these big macho football guys are the biggest pussies.

If you don't think it's worth the effort to try then don't do it.  You are dead wrong about people putting pressure on the NFL and Nike.  It can and will make a difference.  Watch and see.   The above link is to sign an online petition from the Humane Society of the US.  They have power.

People don't seem to realize this, the person holding this together is Arthur Blank.

Anyone seen his "foundation" pretty sick, mega tax write off, and funnel of money

Haha Atlanta Falcons football games are going to release an all hellacious fury, PETA is going to make it impossible for Falcons to play a decent game.

I don't think anyone on this board has ever come across PETAs wrath, they are crazy, it's all out, then they wave the huge towering signs of dead animals I saw them storm a Macy's when they had some fur thing going on, DAMN.

No doubt Arthur Blank and Michael Vick deserve it and deserve each other.

There is a difference here.Vick is being indited by the federal government. There have been several witnesses who have stepped forward and called Vick a "major player" in the dog fighting world. Vick owns a property with over 80 pits on it? A property with treadmills, dog fighting equipment, abused dog carcases and bloody rugs?

The NFL has every right to suspend him while this garbage is going on.

They don't have access to the evidence.  It's not like the US Attorney prosecuting the case is gonna share his evidence with anyone before the trial.  ::)

Anything the NFL has access to is heresay reported through the media, same as us.

Why pay him?  Because he has a contract that says they have to, and thusfar he hasn't been convicted of anything.

OH I AM SORRY...I DIDN'T REALIZE HOW INTIMATE YOU ARE WITH DOGS.... YOU SHOULD SEEK THERAPY FOR THAT...IT'S A SIN TO DO THAT.

BY THE WAY...IF TWO PITBULLS PASS IN THE STREET AND AS EXPECTED GO AT IT WITH EACH OTHER BITING AND TRYING TO KILL ONE ANOTHER...WHO IS RESPONSIBLE? IS THIS CONSIDERED ANIMALISTIC OR BARBARIC AND BOTH DOGS ARE PUT DOWN IF THERE ARE NO OWNERS?

OH AND BY THE WAY I CAN COMPARE THE REACTION OF PEOPLE ON THIS ISSUE, BECAUSE IT SHOWS A MIND SET THAT IS SCARY/DANGEROUS. I GUESS IT IS OK TO EAT SALMONELLA LACED FOOD, MADCOW LACED BEEF, TRICONELLA LACED PORK AND SHELL FISH SO HIGHLY CONTAMINATED WITH MERCURY THAT PEOPLE BECOME HUMAN THERMOMETERS AFTER EATING IT...ALL OF THAT IS  OK AND NO ONE SHOULD PROTEST THIS CONTAMINATION, AS LONG AS NO MISTREATMENT COMES TO DOGS...HA HA HA HA HA HA HA..AMERICA IS FULL OF MENTAL SICKNESS

I agree, dude. A bunch of these morons are hypocrites. Animal protection must only be important when it comes to pets. ::)

Maybe we should abolish the constitution and only prosecute people based upon emotion.
