Vick SACKED, by some of you...

13
Vote

by Barronandtheroc

(Barron) Today Nike suspended the huge contract they have with Michael Vick. Reebok and Nike pulled all Vick related merchandise, jersey's, and shoes. A very smart move by both companies, and a move that they really had no choice in making. Roger Goodell told Vick to stay home for training camp, and if you saw the press conference, Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank has had enough of him too. All great moves that had to be done... no brainers...no one in their right mind would defend the actions of Vick....Right?!?!?!?!

WRONG!!!!

Ok...I understand innocence until proven guilty and all of that garbage, but Michael Vick is now a PR nightmare. The Fed's don't issue federal indictments unless they have evidence, and by what they are saying now...the evidence that we have heard is just the tip of the iceberg. This guy is a scumbag...I don't care if he has a clean record. He flipped the bird to his home-field crowd, got caught trying to sneak marijuana on a plane (why else would you have a secret compartment in your water bottle), and now is involved in dog fighting. But look who came to his defense.....NEON DEION SANDERS!!

Deion has a weekly column with a Florida newspaper, and he recently wrote one titled... "Don't be too quick to judge Vick." (Click the title to read the whole article.) First...how does Deion have a newspaper column?? He's good on TV, with his suits and bling. But do we want Deion tackling the big stories....I mean Deion NEVER TACKLED ANYONE!!!

Here's basically what he said...

Deion says that what a dog means to Vick may be different than what a dog means to you and I. Umm, Deion this is a living, breathing, defenseless animal. Not a car that some people use to drive to work and others use in a demolision derby.

Deion says that because Vick is not the ringleader, he is being unfairly treated, and that unless this will bring an end to dog fighting, the fed's are just using Vick. Umm Deion, does that mean we don't arrest drug dealers unless they are the main suppliers???

And the best for last...Deion says that he believes Vick has a passion for dogfighting...and that he knows MANY athletes that share this passion. AND that it is like ultimate fighting, but the dog doesn't tap out. UMMM DEION....ultimate fighters CHOOSE to enter the ring and fight...these dogs do not have a choice...and if an ultimate fighter loses, do we now have the right to electrocute him, drown him, beat him, or slam him on the ground to his death???

Finally Deion shows the ultimate in stupidity when he says that Falcons fans better pray because Joey Harrington is going to be the Atlanta QB. UMMM Deion...I'm hoping that Falcons fans will give Joey a standing ovation when he takes the field...Joey Harrington may suck as a QB....but Michael Vick sucks as a HUMAN BEING....who do you want on your team?!?!?!

(Roc) Prosecution : Your Honor, Mr. Deion Sanders could not make it here today to testify on Michael Vick's behalf, but we do have a video from Mr. Sanders to show his credibility in regards to his earlier remarks that Vick should be found innocent

Media:http://www.youtube.com/v/xyNMz_LxEoA

Judge: Order in the Court! ORDER IN THE COURT!, I hear by find Michael Vick Guilty and to be sentenced to life, without parole...on second thought, lets make that back to back.

Vick's "friend" has pleaded guilty today to the charges. More bad news for Vick, but I'm sure more of his NFL buddies will come out in his support.

Wasn't it Neon Deon who expected some store to discount a purchase by claiming "Praise Jesus" or something?

I think its unfair for us to debate Vick's innocence right now...there is a court for that...As far as what the NFL and Nike do...well its their money and their contracts...those do not relate to criminal proceedings (and i wouldn't doubt that Nike has a out clause regarding some type of criminal actions)... I've used the federal indictment to conviction rate before...and as bleak as it looks for Vick...he is innocent until proven guilty...and should be treated as such (or like all other people in a similar scenario)...

I'm one of the few that supports Vick. Just like JuTMSY said, America is about innocent until proven guilty. This isn't 18th century France where you get guillotined because you're guilty until proven innocent. If he's found guilty, then obviously its a whole different story. We should learn from the Duke Lacrosse events.

Although I was cheering for OJ in the car chase. Seriously, you can't tell me that wasn't exicting. I just wish Michael Bay was involved so we can see some spectacular crashes on the highway. That would've been awesome.

Seems a little contradictory of your position since a jury of peers found Simpson innocent on criminal charges. Why is "Simpson guilty" after a criminal trial but "Vick is innocent" before his trial? If Vick is convicted, will you protest that he is still innocent? :)

Insan how can you say you "SUPPORT" Vick-- do you support a serial killer who has NOT YET been provin guilty? DO you support that dude who killed his family on the side of the highway in Illinois- he's not guilty yet either- I swear some of the dumbest stuff gets said here-- way to "SUPPORT" an asshole douchebag

Everyone knows OJ is guilty. Seriously, "If I did it, this is how"? C'mon he's messing with us and rubbing it in our faces. I don't know about Vick yet, I'd have to see how the trial goes, then I'll form an opinion.

I wish someone would explain to me why that book wasn't released...
  1. It would have given the Goldman and Brown Families more $$$
  2. We would know what actually happened
  3. It would have had a much more hilarious fall out
Shit, if i were dead...screw it, write it down...

Jamel, this isn't the NBA's 'leave the bench and you get suspended no matter what' rule. My opinions are formed on a case by case basis. I'm not a robot and think every single person tried is guilty or every single person is innocent until proven guilty. In this case, I'm going with innocent until proven guilty.

Fox network would probably be shunned by the public so they decided not to air the show. They relized it wasn't worth the risk.

I guess Nike has never heard people in glass houses should not throw stones.

Isn't Nike the same company that employs slave labor in China, yea yea I know they are paid eighty cent a day and are giving a bowl of rice. China a country that kills people for their organs. Did China just become a democracy, maybe I missed the memo. Did China just get freedom of speech, maybe I missed that memo also. And I am pretty sure dog is considered a delicacy in China.

Doesn't Nike sell sneakers for a couple of hundreds dollars that are maybe worth five dollars?
