It's probably an overreaction but the idea of animal torture can make people less than their most rational sympathetic selves. gently caress Vick. I'm still weirded out by how easily he got back in the public's good graces.

You can accept that someone served their time and paid for their crime and still hate them for it. Vick is and remains a piece of poo poo, I don't care what he says in public. His actions speak for themselves.

Not be revered heroes in a community just because they play Football well. I'm fine with that kind of silly athelete worship but not so much when a dude has such an awful history that he hasn't made up for at all.

Agreed. His current actions, showing a newfound maturity and respect, clearly lacking when he was with Atlanta, speak for themselves.

E: \/ he volunteered with animal rights groups and shelters in Philadelphia well beyond what was required of him. He's literally done good things here, not just refrained from doing bad things.

I'm an insufferable shitposter who does not deserve to root for such a good team. Also, this is what Matt Harvey thinks of me and my garbage posting.
Vick wasn't killing dogs for sustenance, he was killing them because they did not murder other dogs with enough ruthless efficiency.

Like, the intent behind the killing of the animal matters.

We have and had people in the league who never did time (Suggs), will never do time (Roethlisberger), and will hopefully spend the rest of their lives doing time (Hernandez and Sharper). I won't hold an eternal grudge (to the point of hoping he's crippled) over someone like Vick who did time, came out, admitted he hosed up and did his best to atone, especially when people like the above are still around and getting much more praise than Vick currently does.

I'm going to suggest we stop talking about this as it's been run into the ground a thousand times over, but whatever!

He's a Jet now, good for him/them. Their OL is awful iirc, though, so not sure if he'll have any more success there than he did with the Eagles.

Yeah, but pig eating vick haters are supporting (by their standards) the brief torture and murder of animals who are roughly as intelligent and friendly as dogs. They also do it purely for pleasure because bacon tastes good. You don't need to eat pigs, there's plenty of other stuff they can eat.

I just find it an amusing contradiction.

If you can't recognize the difference between eating bacon and torturing animals for sport then I don't know what else to say to you.

Look. I agree I overstated my hate via being unreasonable in my reactions to animal cruelty. If you've ever worked in an animal shelter and seen what humans do to them, it sometimes makes you want humans to fall off the top of the food chain.

I apologize.

Jets have a history of making moves for a quarterback on March 21. Two years ago today, the Jets acquired Tim Tebow from the Denver Broncos.

This move will probably work out better. Probably.

No, but he's a part time back and their other pieces are bad or unproven. I was mostly trying to end Vick chat while also mocking mcmagic.
