If I were Michael Vick....
I would change.

Not just change, but go through a very public, very vegan transformation.

The day I got out of jail, I would have called PETA. I would tell them I have learned my lesson, and wanted to work with them, both on becoming 100% vegan (and with that being the biggest public relations coup for Veganism) and playing footbal.

I would have starred in ads promoting the ethical treatment of animals.

I would, in short, have become the Paul of Tarsus of the Vegan world.

Just think, if he had done that everyone would have won...

1. My idea: I'd produce an Animal Planet Show where he helps ASPCAs take down dogfighters
Edited on Sat Aug-15-09 02:56 PM by MrScorpio
Along with PSAs, fliers, billboards and public appearances speaking out against animal abuse

But that's just me

2. If I were Michael Vick....
...I'd be laughing my ASS off over the fact that I just signed a new $6 million contract after being written off as a fucking punk-ass thug.

But that's just me.

3. I bet he is laughing his ass off.
He tortured and killed dogs and many many people still love him, will cheer for him, give him their money, and look upon him as a role model.

4. Motherfucker DID IT of his OWN FREE WILL, KNEW EXACTLY what he was doing...
...did his time, and got $6 million.

END OF STORY.

This "dogs are sport in the HOOD" bullshit is just that.

Vick is from Newport News, VA.

Newport News is NOT the motherfucking HOOD.

So FUCK Vick and his payday.

:patriot:

5. He actually grew up in a housing project...
That was in a crime and drug riddled area of the city.


So yes, he did grow up in the hood.

6. He'd have to fumble every snap of that leather football, though.
Heh, I kid.

Thing with Vick is, I don't really think he cares nor has changed. I hope he proves me wrong.

7. Well, if he hadn't signed with the Eagles he would have had to go with his backup plan...
Guest Judge at the Westminster Dog Show...


"And a first here, at the Westminster Kennel Club. Grand prize goes to Pixie, the Wonder Rottweiler... because, well, she ate all the other dogs... and three of the judges..."

8. Maybe he could change his name to something like "Ron Mexico"
No one would know who he was if he tried that.
