Michal Vick signs with Eagles!!!

[VictorCharlie]

I'd be looking for some WildCat in Philly this year.

what he did was digracefull, fk him!

[Nameless]

Good luck to him but personally, I would never, for ethical reasons, hire nobody who did what he did, he perhaps paid enough socially and moneywise as he must refund the Falcons a lot of millions but it is not a good reason enough to hire him into my team.

So there is no price he can pay then that is big enough for you? By "my team", you mean a public sports team? What about it was your private business. Dude could make you millions of dollars but you wouldn't hire him cause he did something that offended you. I suppose it would be the same if he assaulted some someone out in a bar without just cause, or was convicted of drinking and driving, or slapped his wife, or uttered racist epithets, or threatened someone with a weapon, or sold crystal meth, or robbed a bank, or hunted a seal, or ...

now that would make for an unusual celebrity crime expose!

point taken, but don't restrict it to celebs. If the motivation for not doing business with somone is ethical, then it shouldn't really matter whether the "perp" is a celebrity or not. Anyways, I was just wondering where the previous poster would draw the line in terms of acceptability.

I'm happy.

I was afraid he would wind up in Minnesota.

Getting animals to cruelly fight against each others, denying the facts till your allies spit the bit and then admit your lies is one of the many reasons, then to ask your second post as "where does it stop", i would need 50 pages to illustrate all the cases and the exceptions included but I think that making money on dying and battered animals and lying about it is a severe enough offense to not hire the guy, which is (for example) a lot more severe than a guy saying a mysoginistic comment into the heat of action and get to apologize after, what the guy did was programmed, carefully planned with in mind every steps of the plan.
As for "my team", I meant if I would own a professional team or whatsoever (which of course I don't for obvious reasons).
NOw for the opportunity to make money, there is tons of talented guy who could be very good QB starter, it's not like if there would be only one name in the hat, Michael Vick, and that I would have either to pick him or have no QB at all, there is tons of potentially talented guy who could carry the torch correctly.

Did the crime. Did the time. I have no problem with him going back and playing football.

One of the silliest arguements for him not to be allowed came from a guy on CNN, a call in. Guy was upset cuz he "works 70 hrs a week, 2 jobs, to barely pay his bills, and it isn't fair that Vick can come out and go right back to making millions." When he has it so rough!

Well duh, cuz that's his job fukface. Sux you ended up with that plot in life and you aren't happy abot it, but c'mon. No need to project your disatisfaction with self on others. Am sure if this guy got busted for something and did a bit of time, would be expecting/hoping for a shot at those 2 shitty jobs again. You weren't and aren't ever going to make millions, buddeh!

Well obvious to you maybe.

You don't seem to want much to do with the guy regardless of whether or not he's done his time, or showed repentance or whatever well that's your perogative, you're probably not alone in that regard.

Anyways, some people will never forgive the guy. There are probably some who may will never watch another Eagles game just on principle. But the majority will forget soon enough if he starts winning games for them.

regards.

Personally, I don't care if he finds a job again, good for him, I don't care neither if he has a brand new 1 million fans legion behind him, good for him too, but what he did couldn't fit with the image I would want to give to my team and the message I would want to send to my players (if I would own a team of course), to me such acts do not fit in my code of ethics, the guy could be forgiven but surely not forgotten and there would be no locker for him under my govern, if the big rival team want to hire him that's all their business and I would hope for him that he'll seek redemption over there and get back to the basics instead of wasting this potential second chance.
