Angry Vick applauded? - what is wrong????

I've been super mad since I watched the sports channel this morning. They showed the Micheal Vick playing his first home game with Philly....and the fans were going wild and applauding.

What is wrong with these people? How can you think this criminal and animal abuser is a hero? I would love nothing more than to see this guy get hurt and be in a wheelchair.

Then, in NHL hockey, the fans are booing Dany Heatly from Ottawa cause he wanted to be traded and then changed his mind.

How does this all make sense????

When winning is all that matters - you get a Vick.

I would love to beat the crap out of that guy! Nothing but a real good back alley fight with Vick. I wouldn't even bring my dog.

(only have had 8 beers today, and 2 shots)

In a country where we mourn the death of someone who gets drunk, drives his car off a bridge killing another person and then leave the "accident" scene to innocently resume his job as a Massachusetts Senator, what exactly is wrong with allowing a dog fighter to play sports?

Criticizing Vick is the poster-child for hypocrisy.

Everybody is entitled to a mistake in their life; it seems some are more entitled than others...

Abusing animals is a mistake? What he did was inhumane and people shouldn't be applauding his return. You're entitled to your comment, however I don't think you'll get much support.

That is not a very good analogy. Reminds me of people that say the UFC is like human cockfighting.

Like I said in the other Vick thread, people that do that to animals have a real problem upstairs.

Maybe we can lock this guy and the rapist up together!!!

Wasn't looking for support. When one considers which is worse, abusing an animal or killing another human being, neither is humane but when we laud a killer and condemn an animal abuser, one might ask how sane the rationale is...

I thought the analogy was really good. Kennedy got off because who he was, and didn't go to jail because of it.

Vick is just a nut case loser, and he needs a good beating.

It isn't an analogy (which is a comparison). My point contrasts (the difference) between people fanning indignation at what Vick did while lauding someone who killed another while drunk. I can't make it more clear.
