Thats like fining the average person 50 dollars? Big deal. If that was NASCAR His fine would be alot bigger and he would be punished.

Michael Vick fined $10,000 for obscene gesture
2006-11-29 06:02:58 · update #1
First off, He has 130 million dollar contract for ten years which makes him 13 million a year. ( this is not including endorsements , bonus, and other things like that) 10 thousand is .07% of 13 million a year. Lets say you make 50 thousand a year then .07% is $35.00. So no I do not thinks it is enough. People spend thirty five dollars like its nothing. He is probably laughing about the fine and he is probability pissed that they are the number one team in rushing but around number 20 for points in the red zone. I guess he not as good running when there is 8 people in the box. Plus he doesn't rush that what a running back does, he scrambles.

i think everyone should leave Vick the hell alone. hes one of the best QBs in the NFL. He can do it all, run and has a hard throw which he can bomb but isn't always accurate. Also he receivers dropped a lot of easy passes so it wasn't all Vick's fault they did so poorly. That doesn't mean he should get booed off the field. I mean look at Eli Manning, he had a horrible 2nd half against the Titans. Didn't score any TDs and looked terrible. This let the Titans come back and win but no ones booing him. So everyone should just shut up ad leave Vick alone. He'll bounce back and do amazing you'll see.

The basic answer is no, however, the new collective bargaining agreement prohibits more. The answer is in the coach and management. The manchild is going south like geese from the north. Sit his @@@ for a game without pay. Donate the money to a local Christmas Fund for children. His actions were both unexcusable and indefensible.
I live in phila. Donovan McNabb has been subjected to far worse, from day one, in this city. Vick can barely make the playoffs vs McNabb in four straight Conf. Finals. Class and dignity is McNabb's signature. Immature and self-centered is Vick's.

I agree. He should not have to give money, he has plenty of that. We should start "fining" pro-players by making them give community service in the area the fans are from. As soon as Micheal Vick has to start picking up trash on the side of the freeway, he will start thinking twice about doing that kind of stuff. Also, I think it would be good for him to have to do some stuff with children. That way maybe he could see how some kids look up to him.

No, its wasnt enough. Vick is a well respected quarteback, and also a role model to alot of young fans, he should always set an example, especialy when he is on the field. he let his emotions get to him. Everyone blames the quarterback when the team loses(majoirty of the time) so he should been expecting the ATL fans to give him the blues, and acting out the way he did is unexceptable!!!!!

No, the fines are not big enough, they never are. They aren't big enough for NASCAR either. The monetary fines are pennies to them. They should really take something more valuable away from them, like their free time. Make him go to sensitivity class or go to a youth center to talk about why what he did was wrong.

No. These players are looked up to by young people everywhere and should set examples of sportmanship. That was just rude and uncalled for. Not a good example for a man that is admired and respected by many young fans.

No. A fine isn't high enough unless it hurts. A high enough fine will make them think about being stupid a second time.
