Re: Doesn't T Vick Deserve A Second Chance?
Hey Chris...........I'm with you.
Why do you think we as a society are in such a state of......mess.
Vick did his time. He paid his debt to society. But he was killing society. He was torturing and killing dogs that didn't make the "cut".
So in honor of the dogs, I saw we throw Mr. Vick in a cage, hand pick a mean, nasty murderous thug from the highest security prison we can find, and tell them both to fight to the death.
If they both tire in their efforts, and fail to "off" eachother, then let's take em out in the "backyard" .................and drown em.
Long live Lassie.

Eesch....
Rudy, (kingjammy)
I hadn't yet read your post when I zipped mine off the keyboard. Seems we kind felt the same in his paying his "debt" to society.
I just wanted you to know.....no plagerism intended, just similar in thought. Brought up following the same values I guess.
Regards,
Steve

Could you imagine Vick getting offered a job in Cleveland......
He'll do real well in the "dog pound".

Re: Doesn T Vick Deserve A Second Chance?
in many ways it's a lot like this hobby. auction houses are caught committing all sorts of offenses yet most collectors would gladly overlook almost any offense if it meant obtaining a highly desired piece. an auction house could admit to shill bidding, item doctoring, credit card fraud, you name it..but if a big grail came to market, everyone would bid anyway. to this day, AMI, historic auctions, and broadway rick still get bids.
seriously, at what point is a superbowl trophy simply not worth it? that is, how completely insane does a player have to get in order for fans to finally decide that it's not worth a winning season? or is it worth it at any cost? i'm guessing there are fans who would welcome rae carruth back. at what point do you say that your own revulsion over the crimes committed, sense of sympathy for the victims and sense of morality outweigh your desire for a championship parade? at what point does being a sentient human being take priority over being a sports fan?
vick broke dogs' necks and slammed them to the ground to kill them..but golly gee, can't wait to see what he'll do when he suits up against some rival team! that's gonna be a kick ass sunday! dogs tortured, maimed and killed but it's all good if vick can rack up some wins!
i agree with many who say that what these players do in their private time is their business; that it's not up to fans to judge them as people, only as players. however, you still have to draw the line when it comes to something incredibly egregious like murder. we're not talking about a player who cheats on his wife or his taxes. we're talking about a depraved lunatic who killed and tortured animals for entertainment. there's no rehabilitating something that was never human to begin with. the only silver lining to vick returning to the NFL is that it affords him the opportunity to sustain a life-threatening injury.

Re: Doesn't T Vick Deserve A Second Chance?
Why? Who are we to make those decisions.
If someone owns a team and wants to sign him, they have the right. Their money. If you don't like it, don't watch, don't go, but don't tell society that if you commit a crime, serve your punishment and are rehabilitated now you have to dig ditches for the rest of your life.
I am pretty sure this is how America works. Other countries don't work this way, so if you like their policies better, I assume they will accept new citizens.
Otherwise, this is why I love America. We are the land of the free.
