Is this asking too much of Michael Vick?

PETA seems to have the NFL by the balls when it comes to reinstating Michael Vick.

Re: Is this asking too much of Michael Vick

Teams are that scared of PETA? Seriously?

 

In January, PETA said that it could not support Vick's return unless he underwent psychiatric testing, including a brain scan, to determine if he is likely to get involved in animal cruelty again.

Really? As disgusting as Michael Vick's behavior was, PETA leaders can eat vats of pig dong as far as I'm concerned.

 

In terms of who is more criminally insane -- the hardcore members and leaders of PETA or Michael Vick it is not even close -- PETA people are way more looney and scare the hell out of me way more than Vick does.

And that is the point about him being reinstated - compared to the PacMan Jones of this world, I'd say that Vick is not at all likely to be a repeat offender.

 

If I were in Vick's shoes, I'd cheer on the publicity surrounding PETA's antics.

Only PETA could turn him into a martyr, much like Selena Roberts did for A-Rod.

 

Again, why does Ron Mexico get all the hate and people like say Leonard Little continue to play nary a word? F****r killed a WOMAN.

 

Leonard Little belongs in jail, not the NFL.

That doesn't make Michael Vick any less of a scumbag.

 

No, it doesn't. But if you let Little play, you gotta let Vick play.

 

Why? Can't the NFL learn from past mistakes?

spnited is right. Little should be in jail, not playing in the NFL. I and others here have posted as much many times before. That dirtbag took a human life while driving drunk, then had his agent telling stories about how sorry he was and how often he cries about it. Then the fucker got arrested for DUI again.

That said, the NFL has a more proactive stance regarding the off-field behavior of its athletes now than it did at the time of Little's crimes. Just because they got it wrong then doesn't mean they can't ban anybody now if they feel it is appropriate.

 

They could really show some balls and retroactively ban Little on the basic premise that murderers have no place in the NFL.

 

It's a nice thought in theory, but can you imagine the shitstorm if Goodell banned Vick for life while Little was still in the league making his millions?

Just ain't gonna happen.

If the NFL has really learned from its mistakes, it would go ahead and ban Little the instant it bans Vick.

That ain't gonna happen either.
