The Vick story makes me sick. I don’t begrudge Vick for getting back into the NFL but if I had anything to do with that league he would have been sidelined for life. I think people that can so callously kill domestic animals are despicable people I don’t want to be around, and I certainly don’t want my kids growing up to see this man as a role model.
We have lost our moral compass. Should Vick get another chance? Probably but not at the level or position that in my opinion should be occupied by not only the best players but the best role models. I know many sports fans may disagree but what are you willing to give up to win a football game?
True knowledge of American history is necessary to insure the future of the America we love… This is an important time in our country's history. We must be wise and measured as we choose our leaders going forward.

It's not about Vick' race...
What type of person can show such cruelty to any living creature? Michael Vick has shown what type of soul he has; a lost one. In Detroit they are arguing that what he is involved in is similar to hunting and the only reason he is being prosecuted is the “white man’s” problem with a successful black man. Pathetic!
This cannot be compared to hunting. Most people that hunt eat their kill and do not torture the animals they kill. Hunters do their best to kill their prey in the most humane manner possible. I know a lot of hunters and they are animal lovers. They also hunt wild animals in an environment that favors the animal, not in a cage where the animal is a sitting duck.
As far as a racial issue, it is painful to think how deep of a divide we still have between the races. This is the result of a government failed education system, lack of role models in the black community, and the generational dependency on government assistance. The people making the racial argument are angry with their station in life. That station will not change unless people take responsibility for their own life. To think the “white man” is keeping anybody down is so sixties and so defeatist.
Vick is a sick and disturbed person to take part in this cruelty. I am not an animal activist but you don’t have to be an activist to point out cruelty when you see it. Just a thought…
The indictment said that in April 2007, Peace, Phillips and Vick "executed
approximately eight dogs that did not perform well in 'testing' sessions by
various methods, including hanging, drowning and/or slamming at least one dog's
body to the ground." Vick also is alleged to have consulted with Peace before
Peace killed a losing dog by electrocution in 2003.
