They’ve Already He’s Convicted Vicks!

Some people seem to think that Michael Vicks should lose
his position in the NFL. I say why should we take away
a way a man’s livelihood while he deals with legal problems.
Does the life of an animal mean as much as destroying a mans
career? I think not. So for those elected official who want to
circumnavigate the judicial system stop grandstanding. Read
the article below and of course weigh-in about the case against
Michael Vicks.


NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell would like Michael Vick to take a paid leave of absence, but the Atlanta Falcons star wants to play football this season, sources familiar with the situation said Friday.With the opening of NFL training camps looming, league and Falcons officials are under pressure to take decisive action against the quarterback, who was indicted this week on federal charges related to dogfighting.

Goodell met Friday with animal welfare officials at league headquarters in New York, and about 50 people demonstrated peacefully outside the Park Avenue offices, urging the commissioner to suspend the player. The group, which was organized by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, chanted "Sack Vick!" and held signs featuring his No. 7 with a circle and slash through it.

In Washington, Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.) called for the immediate suspension of Vick, accused of being a key player in a Virginia dogfighting operation that allegedly executed poor-performing pit bulls by methods such as hanging, drowning and electrocution."I am deeply disturbed by the indictment of Michael Vick for dogfighting charges," Kerry wrote in a letter to Goodell. "I urge you to treat this issue with the utmost seriousness as the case progresses. In light of the seriousness of the charges, I believe that Mr. Vick should be suspended from the League, effective immediately.

"Kerry wasn't the only lawmaker to weigh in on dogfighting this week. In a speech on the Senate floor Thursday, Sen. Robert C. Byrd (D-W.Va.) called dogfighting "barbaric" and — although not specifically addressing the Vick case — said: "I am confident that the hottest places in hell are reserved for the souls of sick and brutal people who hold God's creatures in such brutal and cruel contempt."
