VICK Signs with Eagles

Re: VICK Signs with Eagles

Tony,

You know, I hear you, and I think it's honorable that you and others feel he (Vick) has done his time for the crime, and that he should be left to show us he is now a good man.


But I just have to respectably disagree.

The crimes he performed and masterminded were so sick in nature. This guy has a seriously warped character. He will not change, no matter what he does publicly. It will all be a farce.

I want to put this question out to all of you football fans.....

If you went on a job interview, and the background search done by the firm considering you for a position found you did two years serious time for committing a heinous felony.........what do you think your chances would be of getting hired?

Zero. Zilch. Nada. Furget-abowd-dit.

Are we as sports fans so intrenched in our desire for the dramatic, that we would just forget the cruel murderous wretched things this guy did just so we can see him in a football uniform again? Worse yet, are we so inclined to see the drama unfold as a society that we welcome this opportunity so we can all watch?

He was a professional football player, a glamorized star who made millions from endorsements from some of the most recognized names in the retail world. And what did he do with his fame and good fortune? He stuck his middle finger in everyones faces while he murdered poor defenseless animals who were "sub-par" in the hellish world he bought, created, and financed for them.

If he were a foreign National who came to our country and did this, you guys would all be screaming for his deportation.

Vick deserves nothing. I think the Eagles organization is a disgrace. I can't imagine a more destructive move for their own franchise.

I guess we'll just all see how it plays out. And that's the sickest part of all of this. I think the Eagles are just doing this to "cash in" on all of the drama and attention Vick will bring to the team.

I hope the Eagles implode with failure. And although I didn't say so earlier, I think cohibasmoker is a class act through and through as a human being for turning in his resignation. I don't even (honestly) know if I would have been able to do the same thing.

It isn't you who decides who can and cannot change...who can or cannot redeem themselves...who can or cannot mature, learn, and improve....who can or cannot be saved. I think your post is way above your paygrade...

Re: VICK Signs with Eagles

So does this mean I can wear my Michael Vick Falcons jersey again?

It's considered a throwback now right?

Put yourself in Vicks shoes. I guarantee if you were being treated the same, you'd be crying for a second chance.

Always much easier to judge and be so hard when it's someone else.

Matthew 7

Do Not Judge
"Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. And why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye?
Or how can you say to your brother, "Let me remove the speck from your eye'; and look, a plank is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.
"Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces.

Sammy,

Would you sign my copy of Religulous?

Re: VICK Signs with Eagles

It's my opinion that religion and politics have no place on sports cards and sports memorabilia boards. And yes, I am religious. It still has no place here. As a matter of fact, on most sites, it's against the TOS.

Why? I don't commit crimes.

Who says? You don't know me. I never cry. I'm way too tough and macho.

Always much easier to judge and be so hard when it's someone else.

Yes. It is easy to judge criminals, because I am not a criminal and I do not commit crimes.

If some of you do not like my moral views, then don't post your moralistic views about Mr. Vick.

Judge the man on his athletic ability, and leave his morals, and yours, off the board.

Re: VICK Signs with Eagles

----------------------------------------------


Rather, when we judge a man's character we should be using standards that everyone can agree on, not beliefs based on one person's faith.

The topic at hand was Michael Vick. And we have every right to criticize a man that was complicit in drowning and electrocuting a companion animal. Honestly, I don't know of one person's moral code where that behavior can be justified, under any circumstances.

In short, this has everything to do with common human decency. And I severely doubt that Michael Vick is anything but a sociopath, someone who thinks that innocent animals are only a means to the end of financial gain.
