Owners of Pitbulls might have a problem with Vick's "paid his due".
People that invest in Michael Vick need to understand what they are getting when they sign contracts with a dog murderer.
...Forgettable baggage, huh? Sounds like now might be a good time to remind Myers, and Jets fans with only a distant memory of the case, of the crimes for which Michael Vick served 21 months in prison.
In addition to plunking down $34,000 to buy the Smithfield, Virginia, property where dozens of dogs were chained to car axles buried in the ground while they fought, sometimes to the death, in front of betting spectators, Vick and his co-defendants admitted to killing at least six (but perhaps as many as eight) dogs who did not display sufficiently aggressive traits during the "testing" process.
Several of those dogs were shot; at least two were were hosed down, then electrocuted. Three dogs were hanged, according to a report by the USDA inspector general, "by placing a nylon cord over a 2 x 4 that was nailed to two trees;" three more dogs were drowned "by putting the dogs' heads in a 5 gallon bucket of water."
Vick, with his partner, Quanis Phillips, killed yet another dog "by slamming it to the ground several times before it died, breaking the dog's back or neck." When another of his dogs was disqualified after jumping out of the ring during a fight, Vick had his associate, Purnell Peace, shoot that dog in the head with a .22 caliber pistol.
When federal officers raided Vick's property in 2007, they rescued 53 pit bulls. They also found nine pit bull carcasses, took samples of two skeletal remains, collected spent shell casings, syringes, and "pieces of plywood flooring and dry wall covered with dark stains believed to be canine blood." (Tests later confirmed, yes, the stains were dog blood.)

Vick never expressed an iota of empathy or sympathy for the dogs he killed because they were worn out or didn't fight well enough, the dogs he fought, the dog's that had to be put down because they couldn't be fixed - nothing. His only regret was getting caught. His only sympathy was for himself.
He deserves being despised.

Nope. You don't have one bit of evidence that is "damn dogs got me in trouble." If I am wrong, post it.
Well he does sound a bit like a victim. At what happened means something that happened to you, instead of I'm sorry, I really fucked up, I don't know what I was thinking.Maybe it's that I'm reading the wrong thing into his words or that it is the way he's expressing himself but in those words - I'm not seeing empathy for the animals. I'm seeing I should "I should've took the initiative to stop it all" not "I should have stopped". He "feels tremendous hurt behind what happened" - what is that saying? He feels tremendous hurt at what was directed at him?
I think it's this lack of atonement and regret towards the dogs themselves rather than the situation that makes me think that whatever change there is in his character, he still does not view fighting dogs as living sentient feeling creatures.

But the fact that it was illegal didn't enter the equation?"It's a message Vick says he never heard when he was a kid in Newport News, Va., where he was first exposed to dogfighting when he was eight years old. "I was introduced very young, so I didn't think it was wrong because I'd seen older guys condoning it and then, you know, doing it," Vick said"

What was done cannot be undone.
The only upside to this monster being allowed to play football again is when he gets his ass kicked.
Like this...........and this...
