He is not being suspended. The player's union said there are not enough evidence to justify a suspension, even a temporary one. If Michael Vick was a policeman or a fireman he would be gone. Is this some kind of social statement? There may be too much money involved for the league to do something so drastic as a suspension. If Michael Vick is allowed to plead no contest to a plea bargained lesser change, serve no jail time and continue to play football then we will know where the Atlanta court, Nike and the NFL stand on the subject.
Did you hear about Michael Vick?

What's the big deal? Dogs fight all the time in the wild.
Great another [censored] joins BITOG. Just what we need
Who's the [censored]? I think it's you for the uncalled for personal attack.
Did you even bother to check what this a-hole did? No I guess not and yet you come up with the glib statement "dogs fight in the wild." Please go play somewhere else as BITOG has higher standards.
He shows his ignorance about wild animals.
Next I'll be hearing that animals electrocute each other in the wild.
Dogs do not fight for entertainment in the wild or to just kill each other. This Michael Vick is a slime ball of the worst kind. Your remark is way out of line. He does need to have his day in court but the evidense, so far is compelling. If you think this stuff is ok then maybe you're in the wrong place.
Don't forget how they drown each other also
I smell a fishing line with some bait on it

Jeffrey Dahmer tortured animals. He didn't play QB.
It takes a sick, demented mind to enjoy garbage like this.
But, being rich, he will probably skate.
Mentally challenged pervert.

Wild dogs, as pack animals, use psychological intimidation more than physical contests to establish and maintain status. Females actually cause others not come into heat by way of psycholgical means and are actually able to maintain Alpha status far beyond what their physical abilities would normally allow. The thing I like about animals is that they can do no "wrong". Obviously, humans are not capable of this, by definition.
I have not owned a dog for a long time. But in my family we used to always have one or more dogs. Sometimes a cat also but usually dogs. To me growing up dogs were German Shephards, 'Sheep Dogs,'mixed breeds, etc. I don't think I saw a Pit Bull until something like 1990. I didn't even know what a Pit Bull was (the kind of dogs they usually use in these dog fights).
A dog is a true friend. There are lots of people who will say they are your friend but will be willing to stab you in the back. But a dog is a true friend.
I remember when a couple of the male dogs we had got into a fight with each other on their own. My Dad told me not to try to pull them apart and he got the hose and sprayed them with water. That stopped the fight.
One of my sisters had a female dog that was half Pit Bull and half Bulldog. You could not play with that dog. She did not know how to play. It could be dangerous playing with that dog. She had not been trained to be mean or anything. I guess it was just her genetics. When our Doberman Pincer tried to play with her she would right away go crazy. I developed a strong dislike for Pit Bulls.
It would turn my stomach to watch a fight to the death between two dogs. I lived most of my life with one or more dogs around. To me a dog is a friend and not something to be destroyed in some gross dog fight with sick people watching.

Around here, many people have hunting dogs.
It's reasonably regular for dogs to be stolen, taken to Sydney, and fought.
A guy we used to live next to had a dog who had apparently turned into a successful fighter...so successful that they decided that he needed to breed. So they knocked out his canine teeth with a bat to stop him marking the bitches that they were putting him to.
Ray eventually got him back, and despite his experiences, he was a really lovely dog, still had "flashbacks" when he saw men with sticks/bats axes etc.
Arseholes.

Vick is a thug. Just another pro athelete with very little upstairs. He lives, and acts, like the animal that he is. [censored] help us that we support people like him by watching the games that he plays in and etc.
Michael Vick should be put down, says activist From cSenior US Senator Robert Byrd weighed into the dog-fighting scandal surrounding gridiron star Michael Vick yesterday by raising the prospect of execution for offenders.
The 89-year-old Democrat said he had witnessed one execution but wouldn't mind seeing another "if it involves this cruel, sadistic, cannibalistic business of training innocent, vulnerable creatures to kill".
The strong words from Senator Byrd, who is known for his devotion to animals, came as controversy swirled around Vick, the star quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons.
The football identity faced fallout from his indictment in a dog-fighting ring from sponsors, animal activists and some disillusioned fans.
Vocal animal rights group PETA said it would picket National Football League headquarters to demand that Vick be suspended.
The 27-year-old, a three-time Pro Bowl selection, was indicted on Wednesday by a federal grand jury in Richmond, Virginia, along with three other men on charges of running an illegal dog-fighting ring.
He has denied direct involvement in the pit bull fights but faces up to six years in jail and $US350,000 ($398,000) in fines if convicted of all charges.
The indictment said dogs sometimes fought to the death on Vick's property and that some fight losers were drowned, hung, shot and electrocuted.
It also charged Vick and his associates shot dogs that did not pass muster after tests of their fighting ability.
Falcons fans said they were saddened but not shocked at Vick's indictment.
"Too much money corrupted the poor kid. He didn't have anybody to help him," said team fan Matt Kirk of Atlanta.

You're acting like he killed your puppy or something. Actually you're acting like I killed your puppy. Give it a rest, this isn't your church. And you're definitely not a preacher.
