So. Much. Fail.

So I've decided that I cannot be a Philadelphia Eagles fan any longer. I will not watch the games, I will not cheer for them, and I will be hoping they lose every game. As long as Michael Vick is on the team. I made that decision as soon as I heard the news.

I am tired of people saying he deserves a second chance. No he does not.

Well. He did serve his time and he does deserve a chance to be a productive member of society again.

HOWEVER. He does NOT deserve a multi-million dollar sports contract and a job that puts him in a position where impressionable children might look up to him.

I don't see how this can end up being anything other than a public relations nightmare for the Eagles and I really wonder WTF they were thinking.

You should keep your football loyalties in state though ;)

[tinylegacies]

Hell no.

But more importantly, I wouldn't want my (theoretical) son watching the games and saying "I wanna be like Michael Vick when I grow up"

Ugh, it makes me sick that he will have a multi-million dollar contract and there are good people living paycheck to paycheck.

*adds Steelers to list of teams to root for instead*

Yay Steelers!

But seriously. I'm not going to say the guy doesn't have a right to a job at all, but it's disgusting that he's getting handed a big fat paycheck when I work my ass off to keep a roof over my head and food on my table.

Exactly. Ugh.
