What's up with some people still wearing Vick's jersey to the game instead of Ryan's jersey? BTW, I'm black and I'm buying a Ryan jersey soon

Some misguided attempt to stick it to "The Man" most likely.

I once saw a guy write "Con" in front of Vick on his jersey.

Have you priced those things? Let me put it this way, my son will be wearing his Drew Brees jersey well into Brees's retirement. Darned if I'm forking over $40+ everytime a team changes players.

And it works! Heck, there are a lot of folks who still froth at the mouths when the name "Cynthia McKinney" comes up.

Some people simply have that unique designation of residing in special place in the hearts of some Georgians.

Well honestly, both are jackasses in my opinion. Those folks wouldn't be wearing Vick jerseys had he simply been traded to another team. It's simply to stir up crap and get under peoples' skin. I mean for chrissakes...what true fan wears the jersey of the QB of one of your team's fiercest rivals?

Because people in Atlanta are bandwagon fans. They probably pulled those old jerseys out of the closet when the Falcons started winning. If you live in Atlanta you should know this by now, the fans suck.

That's because the Falcons havent brought the city a ring. It's no different than a chick dating a guy for 10+ years without a ring from him. After a while she is going to start looking elsewhere

I agree with Tony here on the jersey part. I retired my Vick jersey years ago, and don't get how anyone who calls themselves a "FALCONS FAN" is still wearing one. I always side with TEAM FIRST, then player. I like Vick still, BUT he's an Eagle. NOT a FALCON. NOW, our boy is MATT RYAN (which by the way, showed up big time for us yesterday!!!)!!! I support Matt Ryan 100%! (and yes, I am also black).

Me personally, I have 2 Tony Gonzalez jerseys. A red and a black jersey. I chose Tony Gonzo because, he WANTED TO BE A FALCON. HE CHOSE US and he's going to retire with Atlanta as a sure hall of famer. Meaning, a Falcons #88 will NEVER go out of style.
One day, if Ryan stays with us, and we get a ring with him (and it's coming SOON), then he will also be in that "never go out of style" category.
But a Vick jersey is long out of style people... He's NOT A FALCON ANYMORE!!! If you are simply a "Vick Fan" like so many claim, go get an Eagles Vick jersey and stop wearing that old worn out mess in the Dome. It's embarrassing to the team!!!


Here's to all the BLACK & BLOOD fans out there!!! Let's Go FALCONS!!!
