There are rumors that Michael Vick might become a St. Louis Ram.

If Michael Vick does put on the Rams uniform, how would you react to him?

I would love to have Vick on the team. He paid his debt to society and I think people should let the man live. He has a wife and kids, he has given loads of money to the animal society, and those atrocities will hang over his head for the rest of his life. Personally I really don't care what he does in his personal life as long as he plays ball. GO RAMS!

I think he's a scumbag but if he did his jail sentence, then he is free to persue his vocation. I feel it's a bit ridiculous how our society insists that people should be punished beyond what the law says. If you want people to receive harsher punishments, vote in tougher DA's and legislatures to change things.

He definitely had some shining moments with the Eagles last year and I would not be entirely opposed to giving him a shot with the Rams. After all, we have Leonard Little on the team and he (involuntary, but he was drunk) killed someone.

I guess he'll feel right at home near Missouri's capitol of dog fighting. I have no use for any team who hires convicted felons to play for them. Thus, I have no use anymore for the NFL. I used to be a huge football fan. No more.

Maybe Vick can donate here to the "Missouri 500":
Missouri 500 :: Broken Hearts, Mended Souls Rescue

Take a good look at the video because this is the garbage the convicted felon Michael Vick participated and profited from. Remember folks , he killed dogs with his bare hands.

Michael Vick doesn't even come close to the supremely ignorant, vile sub-humans who felt that human beings from Africa should be slaves and treated like animals. Or their descendents who supported Jim Crow laws.

Go Vick! I wish him well on whatever team he plays for.

Okay, people! It's not like he killed a human. Give ole Vick a break!

This is coming from a dog lover. I grew up with a dog. I would have one now, if I wasn't allergic.

Do I care if someone convicted on dog fighting charges works for my vet? Yes.
Do I care if he plays professional football? Not at all.

I couldn't give a crap about Vick or the Rams at all (I was born and raised in Ohio so I'm a Bengals fan when I watch football) but this has to be the most retarded thing I've ever heard.

That's like saying "Do I care if someone convicted of murder works for my hospital? Yes. Do I care if he works for [insert generic profession here]? No." Or "Do I care if someone convicted of dealing and using drugs works for my pharmacist? Yes. Do I care if he works for [insert generic profession here]? No"

There's a reason convicted felons have such a hard time finding jobs. Is it fair? Maybe not but you now how to get around that? DON'T COMMIT A FELONY!!!
