Michael Vick had it all. He had fame, glory, admiration and money beyond belieft. He chose to throw that all away for more (not needed) money and to conduct barbaric crimes against dogs. This alone should prevent him from every being in the limelight as a role model EVER AGAIN! Please sign this Petition -- Rumors are the Vikings and the 49'ers are taking a look at him. Please urge these teams (and any others) to reconsider!! Thank You!

Michael Vick did do his time, great. But not everybody deserves second chances. This guy doesn't, hes a disgrace and can find a different career to pursue now, he deserves to be rejected back into the nfl, make him hurt even more as punishment.

Although he paid his time for his crime, dogfighting has huge underground world. I believe Vick and his ghetto posse will just move their operations underground. He needs counseling to learn how to use his time and money on more useful things. Afterall, you can take the boy out of the ghetto but you can't take the ghetto out of the boy. This sort of thing is acceptable in certain segments of society and they see nothing wrong with it.

Micheal Vick chose to kill his own dogs in sickining and sadistic ways with his bare hands. I think most folks are only aware of the fact he was dog fighting. Shout from the rooftops the fact he had twisted fun electricuting them, slamming them to the ground, and swinging them into trees. Any team that hands him a football to represent their city, fans, and team deserves the public relations disaster he'll bring.

Vick should not be allowed to play profession ball again - he is a role model to young kids - what message is this going to send?!!! It's totally unacceptable to treat any living creature the way he did with those dog fights!!!!

Why should he be rewarded with getting his career back-he put it in jeopardy, and should be banned from pro football for life-alot of people said well he's done his time--well, that's not good enough. He should be still in prison--If my favorite team grabs him, that will be the last time that I watch them or any pro football team --it is disgusting that he should be allowed to come back!!

If any team picks up this sorry excuse for a human being I will never have anything to do with the NFL again. Mr. Vick's actions aren't something that should be foregiven. He only stopped what he was doing because he was caught. The owners have all had a lot of time to think on this. There are so many tallented decent young men out there that deserve a shot at a career in the NFL. It sickens me that the creep even has a shot at any type of professional career.

Michael Vick is a monster masquerading as a human being. You cannot have a soul and do what he did to those beautiful trusting animals. The NFL is crazy to reinstate him. If he is picked up by a team, they better be prepared to be boycotted.

Mr.Vick needs to spend the rest of his life WORKING to make life better for animals. He can start by making a LARGE contribution of his own to this cause and then, further, helping to raise money to build FIRST CLASS no-kill animal shelters in all 50 states. Think "DOG HOTELS" ... THE KIDS WILL KNOW WHAT I MEANT!! :)

Michael Vick should not step foot on a football field. Is winning so important that we forget what he has done? He has no conscience or morals. He was a rich man that didn't have enough to do so he tortured dogs for entertainment. Do we really want him back on a field? I think not. Why not tie steaks all over him and set a pack of trained guard dogs on him. Let's see him make a touch down then. Or pull his teeth? If it was good enough for his dogs it should be good enough for him. I understand he paid his debt but that didn't help him grow a conscience or develop morals. KEEP THE BUM OUT OF FOOTBALL.

Michael Vick is a dispicable human being. He has no right to do what he loves and get paid a ton of money for it. He gave up that right when he made the choice to fight those dogs. I hope he gets attacke by one of those dogs and gets disfigured or worse....

Keep MV out of NFL. Please, He is a disgrace to the human race, yes he served his time. That does not change the fact of what he did, and how those helpless dogs suffered. Just to bad there isn't a way to make him feel what those dogs went through.

All of those dogs lost their livelihoods because of this man. Take away his livelihood and make him start at the bottom again. Whats with all of these athletes thinking they can do something horrible and then get away with it and pick up their life again where they left off.

I find Michael Vick's comments and attitudes disingenuous at best. Being a highly paid pro athlete is NOT a right. It does NOT make you above anyone legally, morally or ethically.
I find it shameful that THIS is the type of person that the NFL thinks is a good role model for the youth of America.

He had his chance and blew it. I'm sure he knew what he was doing was wrong and illegal. Why do all these sports people get all the 2nd, 3rd, 4th etc. chances
Keep him out of the league. I certainly do not want to see him play or hear about him on ESPN

Michael Vick is a MURDER! Everyone who sign this petition should watch or by the dvd Dog Town Saving the Michael Vick dogs. It's just amazing that these dogs can actually trust another human after what they have been put thru. These dogs didn't ask for this nor did they deserve it! All for what MONEY.... He shouldn't be allowed to earn another dollar as long as he lives he should be in jail for MURDER!!

As an Atlanta Falcon Season Ticket holer from the mid 1980's to present, I don't think the man should EVER be ALLOWED on a FOOTBALL field again. The Falcons made a mistake in making Michael Vick out to be the team and not making Michael a part of the team. He LIED to his teammates, the coaches and the owner. Let the man work for $10.00 an hour and make him buy his own over priced football tickets like the rest of us. DON'T ALLOW him to play again and if he does, DO NOT PURCHASE a ticket to any of the teams HOME games.
