I don't think it is the fighting (alone) that people are still pissed at him about, but rather the shooting, electrocuting, drowning, and other forms of torturing dogs that he did for fun and profit over and over again. Not to mention the killing of family pets by tossing non-"fighting" breeds in with pit bulls just to watch them get ripped apart.
It sickens me that anyone is letting him "get past" that -- especially in a high profile role model position where he is likely to pull down $8 mil this season.
WRT The Daily News headline, stupid is the nicest of terms I would use to describe it..
He's the top dog now. And since Kolb sucks Vick has a really long leash. That was a really shocking decision by Andy Reid. Vick's gonna really need to keep his head above water.
I'm gonna have to say that's VERY stupid! Why would you go and dig up something about someone else's past, just because he's a starter? I mean, you wouldn't go after Halladay just because he's gonna start in the first NLDS game. I just don't get it!
He is a role model because its all about rehabilitation. Mike made a mistake and paid the price. Someone can look at mikes situation and say if he can come from rock bottom and direct his life in a positive direction then i can do the same. Even though what he did was wrong but know body is perfect. Mike is a better individual and player and its showing out on that football field.
Just when it seemed like Michael Vick had gotten past all that dog fighting stuff, the Daily News has to go and pull this.
