Protestors: Vick's Sick

Animal rights protesters are angry over Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick's alleged involvement with an illegal dogfighting ring. Vick was indicted on Tuesday for federal dogfighting charges.

Around 75 animal-loving members of the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals demonstrated in front of the NFL's New York offices on Friday calling for Vick's suspension, reported the Daily News. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has yet to rule on Vick's status.

The Humane Society of the United States held a similar protest at Nike's Portland, Oregon, headquarters. Nike recently decided not to release its newest Vick shoe, though it has seven other Vick-related items in production.

107. Lilarose, are you actually suggesting blacks should be able to kill and rape because of past history? It is wrong on both sides to defend or condemn because of color. It just keeps the hate going.

108. I saw a Black guy in a Buffalo Wild Wings in the Chicago area, in an all White Community wearing a Michael Vick jersey.

It didnt make me just angry, but more like aghast---that someone would walk around wearing that mans jersey with so much controversy swirling in the air on the whole thing. What person is that stupid, or vane, or antagonistic to wear such a thing, and it was a hot day too? There are no Atlanta Falcon fans around here so its clear the person was wearing it at a place where Sports is shown on 50 tv's to announce his position on the matter.

I often wonder why Blacks hold on to the sins of the past as an excuse to not move forward in the present. People like that are their own, and their own Races worst enemy.

As if the guy is walking around in a White Community trying to make a "statement"...that Vick is hip and its cool to be associatted with his name right now. Or, hey everybody, innocent until proven guilty, so I'm going to publicly support this person. Ok to each their own, but dont cry to everybody when you dont land a good job, a nice place to live, good education for your kids, and a future to look forward too when you just dont get it.

Idiot

111. How anyone could ever....ever feel this guy is innocent in any way shape or form is either a complete idiot, or someone that is profiting from this horrific and disgusting crime. He tried like hell to keep out of the spotlight on this, but he knew what was going on as plain as his name on the morgage. He deserves the full penalty of the law, and people will not stand for less. He's evil, and should not be in the public eye.

112. I am from Atlanta and am a huge Falcons fan. I will quickly become a former Falcons fan if they allow Vick to stay. I know he hasnt been found guilty of any crime yet, but it seems to be fool-proof evidence against him AND eye witness testimony.

Michael Vick, in my opinion, is a disgusting person.

It is obvious from your remark that you are a little punk. An ameba, to make such a comment! It is apparent that you have a long way to go in this life to understand the meaning of humanity. I feel pity for you. There is no doubt in my mind that this planet does not benefit what so ever by your presence. Take that as a cue!

114. Jersey says it all, Wouldn't you have been just as pissed if a white guy was flaunting the shirt? I probably would have been.

115. Vick, you are a disgusting pig! People make mistakes but, this is a mistake you made over and over again until you got caught!! Hopefully your cell will come equipt with a "rape machine" so you can be someone's bitch for 6 years. If the NFL doesn't dump your sorry ass, you can guarantee people will only watch you play hoping to see you get pummeled like the pathetic loser that you are!!

116. To post #79... Im on here just like everyone else who gets caught up with this kind of media..Its infectious You dont have to be in a position to save the world in order to contribute and change it..Your in college trying to find yourself, so im sure you dont understand. OF course what Vick did is wrong..But all this hate being thrown at him is wrong, and wont change the situation..Everyone want to boycott him, nike or the NFL..it ridiculous.. Its funny how everyone has a voice when something bad happens..huh Bottom line is the majority of people hate their lives and want to rejoice in others mistakes..Misery loves company. Go study Loser!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

117. We die-hard Falcon fans are so over Michael Vick, even before this. He deserves to do jail time for what he has done.
