Yes, no one in their right mind wants to watch a Sunday football game and look into the face of a man who reminds them of drowned, starved, electrocuted, hung, shot, dead dogs.
Most of us do not want one red cent of OUR money to go into the pocket of this sadistic monster.

People on both sides keep harping on the dogfighting aspect of Vick's crimes, but the most damaging crime that Vick committed from a professional point of view with regards to the NFL was the gambling activities that he financed. Regardless of what people say about how heinous his actions were with regards to the dogs, (and for the record, I think that people who force animals to fight and torture the ones who refuse to death are cowardly scumbags) his gambling activites are far more heinous in the eyes of the NFL, especially after the ref from the NBA got busted. Vick's gambling activities, especially since they were in an illegal context, could concievably have put him in a position (and may have, we will probably never know) where people who won bets against his dogs could have forced Vick to throw a game, which is something the NFL wants to avoid. Under NFL rules, he could be banned for life strictly for the gambling.

No. For those who say yes "think of what he did to those poor dogs", your letting your emotions take over. The matter of the fact is, players have done things just as worst in all sports, not just the NFL, but they are still playing, what makes Vick any different.

No. In the words of Chris Russo, "they're not people." What Vick did was horrible and he definately deserves punishment, but to ruin a man's life over some dogs, I just don't think that's right.

I really don't get the fascination with this thug. I have never watched a professional game, and have not missed one minute of them.
Why do people waste their time watching other people live their lives?... go outside, have a picnic, pay attention to your family. Losers like this thug proves you can take the loser out of the ghetto... etc.
Look at the type of people you sports fans sit and drool over every Sunday... are you proud of yourselves?? Are you teaching your kids to love these losers also? Take your kids to the library and get them interested in reading...
Michael Vick, another loser like Paris Hilton that other losers love to watch while wasting their own lives....

yes. I agree that the NFL has it share of legal offenders, but Vick was involved with an act with required premeditation, cruel and unusual death to animals, and a disregard to the general publics love of dogs. fry his a.ss.

Suspended but not for life. The Falcons are doomed without him. Never mind what happened last game.

even if he was, would that keep him from playing in canada, europe, or in the arena league?
he needs to be sentenced to 40 hours of work at the humane society every week for life and 3 psychiatric sessions a week.

Yeah.. much more effective punishment then sending him to a country club prison for a year.

No - they should put him in a closed room with four Pit Bulls, a German Shepherd and a Rottie, cover him with meat sauce, and see how quick and elusive he really is.
THEN suspend him for life.
