kick him to the curb...

Few crimes repulse me more than cruelty to animals. Abuse of children the disabled or elderly, violence against our most vulnerable is the most despicable to me.

Football's a violent sport, and some will argue it attracts and rewards a violent athlete.

I think it was NFL great Rosie Greer's hobby was needlepoint and you'd never guess that to see him on the field. Generally you don't get to that level of play without some anger management problems.

Often athletes have been protected all along; the traffic ticket that gets fixed, the grade that gets changed, a little legal problems that just goes away...they may feel that nothing can touch them.

Maybe if it effects the sponsors things will change but as long as there's money in it there will be another Michael Vick after him.

Very well said!

I've said for years that until we stop treating these athletes like untouchable gods who are taught from grade school on that they are special and above the rules/laws...they are just going to keep pushing the edges of "what they can get away with".

Vick is nothing more than scum, a waste of a life.

and his little brother is even worse:

This why my son raced bikes and was not allowed to play football...
(and now of course says its my fault that he cannot throw anything in his career in the Marines. Well, he CAN still ride a bike with a 24 mph av).

I'm glad to see some corporations stepping up to make a statement. The NFL's official online store has stopped selling any Vick stuff, and Nike and Reebok have pulled their sponsorship. Addidas, who doesn't sponsor him but sells products with his number on it has also stopped selling it.

He should never be allowed to play again.

I've been thnking this, too... lots of excitement over making this example - but it's popping one pimple on a field of boils.
