So everyone is on the Michael Vick bandwagon, huh, the old, "He did his time", "He paid his debt", "Why should he be deprived of his right to work", and one genius even said Michael Vick is "Gifted" that is why he should get his job back in the NFL.

 Well, after listening to most, not all, but most of the mainstream Q spout this inane dribble about this murdering thug it really made me question how many brain cells people  are losing every day, and how hardened they are to the plight of our humanity and knowing the difference between a crime of grotesque violence and  crimes of a different nature. Also it made me question just how little affinity so many people on here feel for animals as opposed to humans.

 You know this is not about just dogfighting convictions. What would you say about a man and his thugs who  would hang dogs on trees by the neck, wet them down, and then electrocute them to death. What would you say about a man who along with his thugs would beat dogs to death with bats and throw them into cement walls and the ground repeatedly, what would you say to this freak who would take dog's and stick their heads under water and drowned them? Well? Let's forget about the horrid acts of someone who is clearly disturbed and let him march back into the NFL and began collecting his millions again. 18 months in a lightweight prison is all those murdered and abused animals are worth that are now dead by the most macabre means.

 I will also say for the record that no-one is keeping Michael Vick from working, it just should not be in the NFL. And for the person who thinks Vick is "Gifted", I wouldn't call any human being gifted that would do the things that Vick did. Find a new hero, because Vick is a villain for the ages, and don't throw no race cards on this table because that had nothing to do with anything. White, Black, Purple, Yellow would make no difference, because he is black does not excuse a rich professional athlete from his deeds.

 So it is rather ironic that while watching the early edition of the CBS Morning News, that the broadcaster had on a T.V. Analyst from the BET Network, an African-American, who talked about Vick with more honesty than i have heard yet. The broadcaster had asked him about why he should be allowed to return to the NFL, and this analyst told her that the NFL is trying to show that it is willing to give someone a second chance. That Vick could indeed do more for dogfighting and the horrible things associated with this illegal function by becoming a highly visible figure to speak out against it. The CBS News Person told him, "Do you think we would get our jobs back had we killed dogs by electrocution, beating dogs and drowning them?" The BET analyst said No, I don't, but the NFL offers a unique opportunity to show the world that a person can have a second chance if he shows remorse for his crimes, IF, so he has not convinced us all. The BET analyst went on to say that the NFL Commissioner has stated that Vick must show his remorse and work with the humane society, and other organizations, if you will, to be a spokesperson against dogfighting. He is not guaranteed to be accepted unless the NFL sees what Vick is doing about trying to show remorse and be outwardly visible in working with animal organizations to help stop dogfighting.

 I was highly impressed with this BET commentary about the saga of Michael Vick, and it made a lot of sense. Vick is a monster and until I see him doing things to change those perceptions, and doing things The NFL expects to see him do I don't believe Vick belongs on ANY football field, and if you people out there think his crimes should be so easily dismissed or forgiven then you need to re-evaluate your definition of violent crimes against people, and animals as well.  I will not watch or have anything to do with the NFL if Michael Vick shows up there until I see something from Vick to make me believe he is honestly remorseful and speaking out in public about dogfighting. So far he has done nothing except do a measly 18 months in a low security prison, and the time he was sentenced to is nowhere near enough.

 The time for talk is at an end. Just because he is an athlete should mean nothing to the law-abiding dog owning citizens out there in America and everywhere else.
