Get rid of Michael Vick CONTACT INFO UPDATE
koolmoecraig:
Here is an online petition to remove the vile, mediocre-talented Michael Vick from the NFL completely. The bastard should never take another snap. Personally, I don't think he ever will but sign the petition below and help make sure he doesn't.

I just read today that his agent and the players union are trying to get the league to guarantee this years salary GUILTY OR NOT! Are you F'ing kidding me!?!?!?
Sir Auros:
I went to Virginia Tech when he was there, and I worked for their police department for a while (I guarded the supercomputer at nights on weekends) and knew some of the cops and he got away with whatever when he was there too. The guy is total scum and is just one of those people you wouldn't mind seeing thrown in a sack and beaten to death.
Jouster:
Oh, come one...thrown in a sack and beaten to death???
Why not just put him in a closed room with all of his 'pet dogs' for about an hour...if he's still alive after that...then do the sack thing.

I know it's not the popular position to take, but since the case probably wont be litigated completely until after this season, then yeah, a leave of absence should be with pay. Vick reportedly wants to play, which would be a PR nightmare to say the least. If the league wants him to sit out, then they're going to have to compensate him. A Federal grand jury indictment is a pretty nasty thing, but it isn't a conviction. Innocent until proven guilty still has some meaning in this country. FWIW I think Vick is a complete idiot, who obviously has no clue of how fortunate he was to have cashed in on his athletic talents. I felt that way before the indictment came down.
The whole episode is pretty disgusting, if anything in the reports hold true, but I still think the League has to give him his day in court. If he's convicted, have at him. There is precedent for that position - Ray Lewis stood trial for murder in 2000. There were no sanctions taken against him until he wound up pleading guilty to obstruction of justice, and then it was only a fine - no lost games.
