From CBSAtlanta.com:
ATLANTA -- Fans of Michael Vick wore his number proudly as they made their way to the Atlanta Falcons game against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. The game marked the first time Vick has returned to the Georgia Dome since serving a federal prison sentence for dogfighting.
"I love Michael Vick, and I support him no matter what," said Regina Williams.
But not everyone was there to support the former Falcons quarterback. A group of animal rights activists held up signs, protesting Vick's return.
"What we're asking is for the NFL to add dogfighting and cockfighting to their prohibited list in their code of conduct," said Candace Hunziker of In Defense of Animals.
Hunziker said they aren't anti-Vick, just anti-dogfighting. Vick's faithful fans thought their signs showed otherwise.
I guess it figures that people who support Vick would carry themselves with such little class. I bet they love Allen Iverson, too.
Wow...this Robert Green sounds like a real winner. Hey Robert, you know what was a direct attack on his character? When he went to jail. These people have just as much of a right to go out there and protest as those fans supporting him do. So long as the protesters aren't forcing it anyone's face then just let them be.
Michael Vick certainly deserves a second chance. I bet many of his supporters are low class ignorant people.
This does not surprise me in the least. When he first came into the league but was not yet starting, his fans cheered when the starting quarterback went down with an injury.. Vick is just an all-around class-act. NOT
The fans that support Michael ConVick must not know his whole story and must in general like thugs. We all know that ConVick bankrolled and participated in dog fighting. We also know he tortured and killed innocent dogs. Remember all of his other bad behavior......passing STD and seeking medical treatment for his STD useing name "Ron Mexico", failing random drug tests, suspected of involvement in the murder of Bud Melton, filing bankrupcy, illegal gambling, attempt to illegally withdrawal funds from company pension plan, lack of work ethic while with Falcons, lies he told to Falcons team owners, players and NFL about his involvement in dog fighting. Great guy, huh? For those who say he deserves a second chance, he particpated in dog fighting for 7 years, that is over 2,000 days of second chances. His only remorse is for getting caught. And read some of his comments and interviews....he is one arrogant SOB. The way I see it, he is a ghetto rat thug and has no place in the NFL.
HEY to all of vicks spitter fans did you ever hear the phrase BIRDS OF A FEATHER FLOCK TOGETHER !!!!!!!! I would never spit on a person or anything else. i would not even spit on the street. THIS IS NOT NORMAL BEHAVIOR. get counseling all of you scare me.
