Uhh, I am all for the dude going to court, but, he hasn't been found guilty yet. If he is found guilty he deserves to lose all his contracts and be suspended. Period.

well if you read the indictement the amount of evidence is overwhelming. the feds would not mess with this unless they were certain. you can bet that all or most of those charges against vick are gonna stick. besides the nfl kicked pacman jones for the season and what was he found guilty of? vick should be suspended immediately.

yes it is true that vick hasnt been convicted yet(he will be), but the nfl isnt a court of law either. playing in the nfl is a privilage and comes with certain

responsibilities. the facts of the case which are already known are more than enough for him to be suspended right now. goodell has already asked him

not to report to training camp, hopefully there will be word of an official suspension sometime this week.

If people got this worked up over child or spouse abuse......

At any rate, I disagree with mistreating animals but there are still laws. Suspending him to shut up a bunch of people is probably what will happen, even thought it is the wrong thing to do. Doing the right thing (telling people to mind their own business and let the justice system take care of this) would take too much attention away from the game.

A bunch of nitwits protesting shouldn't stop a guy from doing his job. A buttload of people are dying in the war. Perhaps people should put the same energy into protesting something like that.

Funny thing is... if he's suspended and not convicted the law suit money would be enough to keep him in fresh dogs forever. He's never have to worry about money ever again and be set. The team owners have to think about their business and what would be more expensive. My guess is a wrongful termination lawsuit loss would be more expensive than the bad press. Besides, protesters would make the games more popular and increase viewership.

I just received the following letter. All I can say is GOOD. Nike, the NFL and the Falcons are next. Then Jail.

Thank you for contacting AirTran Airways. We appreciate you taking the time to write us regarding our decision not to renew Michael Vick's contract as an AirTran Airways spokesperson.

AirTran Airways employs hundreds of endorsers and we use various celebrities to endorse our product. While Michael Vick served us well as an endorser for three years, in May of this year, we decided to go in a different direction with our sports campaign.

AirTran Airways is constantly reviewing comments from our customers to improve our future performance and this matter will certainly be included in those efforts. Your comments have been logged and forwarded to the Marketing department for their review.

Your continued support is important to us. We look forward to having another opportunity to serve you.

I agree with your post.

Too much finger pointing is going on. Let the trial happen, he should not lose the right to work. Charges don't convict a person.

again the nfl is not a court of law. they have more than enough to suspend him now and from listening to blank today it sounds like the only reason
he didnt yet was because goodell asked him to wait.

this kind of contradicts innocent until proven guilty.

I understand the stain this has left on the Falcons, NFL and other investors. At the moment these are all allegations until the trial.

The proof will come in the trial if they have any, not in the media or through the public because they say so.

The nfl personal conduct policy does not have to follow those rules to a t. Vick has violated several policy rules. Goodell has said several times " you are responsible for your property, and what happens there". Even if Vick is not convicted he will get suspended.Vick will get suspended for the year as soon as the NFL concludes the private investigation it has started.

Looks like Vicks buddy pleaded guilty. The birds are signing!!!! 80 pits,several mutilated dog carcasses, evidence of dog fighting and gambling, witness's putting Vick at the scene, His buddies flipping for the feds. Haha I hope they staple him to a wall by his corn row ends in prison : )

True. If Vick did infact participate in the slaughter of pits not game enough to fight he should lose everything. Electrocution? Blunt trauma death by slamming the dog to the ground? Dog fighting? Gambling? Is this guy slow? I cannot fathom how a man in his position worth the kind of money he is would do something like this. This is a situation where ghetto can be used to describe Vick. His parents must have been jackels.

Insane a man of his stature would be involved.

3) Call (212) 450-2000 and urge the NFL to ban Vick from the league for life under their personal conduct policy. Follow up with a letter to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell urging the same:

I'm sickened by what I read in the indictment about them drowning/hanging the dogs.

but....

I'm disheartened when I see the outpouring of compassion for the dogs and compare it to the lack of compassion that we have for one another. $:-\$ I can only imagine how much better off this world would be if we cared about each other like folks do about their pets.
