Should Michael Vick be suspended?

Question

Im reading articles and I'm just not finding alot of pyschical evidence against Vick himself for this dogfighting. Is there some strong evidence that Vick was involved or had knowledge this stuff was occuring? It weirds because I feel 100% that Jones deserves his suspension, because he wasn't learning his lesson and keeps doing dumb sh*t. With Vick, this one incident is much worse but I haven't seen anything about evidence against Vick? Is their evidence against Vick so far, and if there isn't should the NFL suspend Vick anyways at this point in the process? I feel like they shouldn't but obviously if there is good evidence, they should.

Lol, I agree about Vick not being a very good QB!

JW you are a complete ******* moron. I should beat your *** to make you mad, and then kill your ***** *** when you lose a fight. And lose you will

Answer 1

he should be treated like he treated those dogs

Answer 2

I don't think it matters much at this point. The feds don't take a case like this to court unless they are fairly sure they can win it. His trial has been assigned to the "Rocket Docket", also known as the Richmond Federal Court, so his trial will likely start in 4-6 months. Assuming a normal length trial for this type of thing, i.e. a week or two, he could find himself in a federal prison serving five years by Thanksgiving. The guys life is over.

As to the actual suspension. Michael Vick is not Pacman Jones. Vick is a marquee player that gets people out to the games. Vick would fight it in court and he very well might have Atlanta management on his side. Nobody gives a crap about any of the other guys who got suspended, they weren't that good of players. I think the front office just decided it is not worth the fight to suspend a guy for what might amount to only 10 games. Realistically the only thing that could get him suspended now would be an outcry by the fans. Maybe a significant decline in season ticket sales, or even a request for refunds. And that would just end up with a team suspension with pay. They can't void his contract under the personal conduct clause till he is actually convicted.

With regards to the evidence against him. There is a huge amount of evidence against his three co-defendants. They are all looking at five plus years in prison. The only way for them to get less is to testify against the ringleader, Vick. Even without that he will likely get convicted based on other eyewitness testimony, some of which testified against him at his grand jury hearing. I had also heard that the feds also had a confidential informant that had been supplying evidence on dog fighting in the area for the last five or six years. If they waited that long you know they were making sure their case was solid.

Answer 3

Suspended for what?? He's not guilty of dog-killing, and our justice department isn't even attaching a criminal charge of dog killing. He is being charged with 1 count, 1 count for conspiracy to sponsor a dog in an animal fighting venue. If our own justice system did not or could not get a criminal dog killing charge against michael vick what does that say about his innocence?

Answer 4

Yeah he should. Like Pacman Jones, he's had several chances to clean up his act. Giving girls herpes, drug posession, the water bottle incident, and looking at his brother as well. Both those Vick boys are scum bags...I don't know whether to feel sorry for their mother or to blame her. Also Tank Johnson got a pretty hefty suspension too.

Answer 5

The NFL is going to have to do fancy footwork to get out of his public relation nightmare. There are plenty of dog lovers in this country who are shocked and outraged about his whole ordeal. For Vicks to regain his status he's going to have to blame others who used his property for dog fighting. If Vicks takes the entire rap, he's going to be out of the NFL in a few years. Too many dog lovers out there to get involved in this garbage situation.

Answer 6

If he is found GUILTY, he should be suspended. I believe if that happens he should serve 1 year in jail and be suspended next season. People are blowing this out of proportion; murderers are getting released everyday after serving one or two years in jail in some instances. He fought and killed dogs, not humans. I believe that while punishment is deserved it should not be 6 years and exiled from football. Murderers serve less time than that in some cases. This crime involves animals and animals only and there for the punishment should be a lot less severe than horrible crimes such as murder, rape, child molestation, assault etc.

Answer 7

Whats the deal with all this Vick stuff. People are cruel to animals everyday, in sports and in homes. No one tells a jockey i am taking you in for question for ride on a horses back and whipping his @ss the whole time. No one gets made at someone for neutering the pets. How cruel is that, lets start tying tubes and cutting balls off of people in society that shouldn't breed. Its dog fight, if the dogs weren't doing that they be in a pound, or dead. Who gives a f uck. I more worried about real crimes like killers, rapist, thieves, and terrorist. I don't care if some guy that makes more jack then everyone on this site combine is fight dogs.

Answer 8

Should Michal Vick be suspended? Well, if things go the way that they should, he'll be automatically suspended because you can't play in the NFL when you're in prison. What a waste.

Answer 9

yes i think he should.

All of these athlete and celebs think that they are above the law and think they should get special treatment when they break it. I think that they should get special treatment too but in the opposite way. if they break the law they should be slammed. they live ablessed life of money and fame and this is how they repay the people who look up to them by acting like a common criminal.

with fame comes the duty to be better than most in their actions. Kids learn from these morons...

Answer 10

Yes they dont need him anyway.He Isnt any good at QB,all he does is run,his passer rating isl ike 40.0 every year and he should be punished for something illegal.Who would be stupid enough to dog fight.You know your gonna get caught because your Famous!!He should get suspended for at least 5 games.

Answer 11

HELL YES and he should be prosecuted and pay a big fine to the ASPCA and he should be made to work with dogs that have been rescued from dog fighting,and animal shelters. and he needs to be bitched slapped upside the head.
