Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Fox Sports hires Michael Vick

Vick did his time.

Besides that, 98% of us on this site say Pitbulls should be eradicated every time they attack someone so isn't it kind of hypocritical to call him scum and wish him life in prison or worse for killing Pits? Granted some of the methods used were subhuman but the end result was the same.

Food for thought.

Why?

Who cares? He fought pitbulls the lowest form of dog breed there is. It's not like he was fighting a useful breed like retrievers or such.

What I don't get, is there are so many players out there why him? He may not offened everyone, but he will offened more than most other players.

I have heard in his defense, it is just a southern thing. Maybe that is true. But still aired nationally.

When Vick was playing for Atlanta I didn't like him. His dog fighting was only one of his many issues. But he did the crime, did the time and by all accounts has grown up. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

And dog fighting, cock fighting, and several other forms of animal fighting used to be pretty common in the south. It has always been illegal, but most in LE didn't work very hard to stop it. Never attended any of the fights, but it was pretty common knowledge if you asked around. Lots more whites involved than blacks. Not saying it's right, but Vick shouldn't be held to any higher standard than a lot of well respected whites here that never got caught.

I tend to think, if violence doesn't bother you, you are unlikely to grow out of it, just cause you were caught.

It may be a souther thing, but NFL is national.
