		<description>He does not even deserve to live. That SOB Vick should still be in prison for what he did. A lesser man would have gotten for worse then what Vick got.</description>

		<description>Michael Vick does not deserve millions of dollars. He is a sick and twisted bastard who deserves the same treatment  that he gave those animals. Dog fighting is usually wrapped in more horrible crimes. So, I doubt that is all Vick got caught on. The animal abuse and killing that he committed was bad enough, and besides I doubt the bastard is even that great of a football player. He made a name for himself in the most horrible way, and he becomes more famous for it. African Americans have to start learning that when you commit horrible crimes like Vick did, you do not get a free pass, because your a football star. By the way, animal cruelty is not part of normal American culture. Hence, that is why we have laws passed to punish those who do commit these types of crimes. To defend those who can not defend themselves,( whether that kids, animals, the infirm ,or elderly). IF it weren&#039;t for people like this monster, we wouldn&#039;t have to have agencies to protect those that can not protect themselves. Get a grip and stop putting sickos on soap boxes. He had his fifteen minutes, let someone who knows how to play football and who is more honorable to take his place.</description>

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjostWvg9tU

http://www.strangleholdmerch.com/vicktory-to-the-underdog-p-191.html


VICKtory to the  Underdog was  Nominated for three awards.

VICKtory to the Underdog
WON BEST SOCIAL COMMENTARY

“Vicktory To The Underdog” takes an in depth look at world renowned tattoo artist “Brandon Bond” and his dog rescue efforts – particularly rescuing the infamous Michael Vick fighting dogs.
Rather than focusing on the dog fighting problem, the movie sheds light on solutions leading to “Vicktory” for all the underdogs in the movie – tattoo people, pitbulls, parolees and all the other people in this world that society has turned their back on through ignorance and racism.
The movie also examines the life of Brandon Bond and his struggle with balancing fame, fortune and the Rock-N-Roll tattoo lifestyle with a more fulfilling life that focuses on the betterment of both animals and society as a whole.
Featuring celebrities like Debbie and Danny Trejo, Michael Berryman, Pixie Acia and Donal Logue, the movie takes you on an incredible journey you will never forget!

Proceeds for this film will be going to Villa Lobos Pitbull Rescue. http://www.vrcpitbull.com</description>

		<description>Wow. I must bow down and applaud the previous writer for her comment since it mentioned everything that I would have loved to say in such an eloquent style :) I do agree that once you have decided that you are impervious to laws and morals and believe that your rights may override the rights of others, you have lost all people&#039;s faith in you and towards your future career. I am sure that Michael Vick will be able to move on with his life and continue to make millions of dollars, but he will always be branded as the animal abuser and the situation he put himself in will always haunt his past and reputation.</description>

		<description>I think it is a privilege to play professional sports here in the U.S. We pay professional athletes millions and millions of dollars simply for our entertainment. 

Does Michael Vick deserve a second chance at life, yes. We all deserve the chance to start over and try again in life. We all deserve a chance at redemption; however, when you commit an egregious crime such as animal abuse or any other abuse for that matter, you have now forfeit your right to get paid millions to entertain people. You have taken your stature for granted and think it makes you impervious to morals and virtues. 

Step aside and let someone else fill your shoes. Let someone who is worthy of being an idol, and icon, who can appreciate where they are in life and the example they owe not only their fans, but youngsters who want to be like them, take the place of a spoiled, morally deprived athlete and get paid millions. 

Michael Vick is feeling the consequences for his actions. He created this world for himself. He can find a way out of it if he tries hard enough, but as far as I am concerned, he has lost the privilege to be paid millions of dollars to be a professional athlete in America.</description>

		<description>Please fellow americans here this. its true that you should not be cruel to animals. but i dont understand this kind of society in which animals are more loved than human beings. you could as well be an animal.its true vick was wrong, he got his punishment for 2 years. why are you still complaining. is it when he dies that you would be satisfied. If the Almighty God forgives him already  you are to free to shout till eternity , no one ever can stop vick. for your information the hamburgers you eat is from slaughtered cows and goats . why eat it then.  Stop  criticizing in this society because no one is clean even your so called LAPD and campus police. I know what they do in private. 
God created man above all creatures and not the other way, if not ask your dog for advice and lets if it would help you. 
always be a forgiving in this country and leave vick alone. Also love your fellow human being.
I am not saying you should hate dogs but they should not be priority over human being. at this point, leave micheal vick alone and pray that he should be a good man . thats my advise and comment for you. Once again stop critizing people aftyer mistakes they made and show love to all individuals
Thank you and Stay blessed</description>

		<description>its kind of hard because of the nature of the whole dog fighting world and MV killing dogs. but maybe there should be a bit more focus on donte stallworth who killed a man while drunk and served less than a month in jail.</description>

		<description>Michael Vick is evil. There is only one kind of person who does the type of thing he did to dogs. He not only kidnapped and fought them, causing them severe injuries and eventual death, but he also killed them with his bare hands just because they weren&#039;t good enough to be fought. He held a dog&#039;s head under water. He picked a dog up and slammed it against the floor until its back broke. He electrocuted a dog to death. He tied a rope around a dog&#039;s neck and hung it ... He did this MULTIPLE times. This is not a man that deserves a chance in the NFL. This a man who should be looking for divine forgiveness. There are things you can forgive, and this isn&#039;t the case. His actions were just plain EVIL. NOT EVERYONE deserves a second chance. Vick sure as hell doesn&#039;t. At least not in the NFL.</description>

		<description>What is not truthful about this?  It&#039;s an opinion and there is nothing in this piece that is a lie.  If you have some privileged insight on MV, or were close to him at one point in your life and know for a fact that he is lying then please share with the Sundial so they can break the story.  Please point out the falsehoods. MV spoke to at-risk, inner-city kids about the dangers of animal cruelty. On &quot;60 Minutes&quot; he blamed himself and expressed regret and remorse.  If you didn&#039;t see this then that&#039;s your view.  I&#039;ve never been a Michael Vick fan, but I believe in second chances. If he had harmed a human that&#039;s a different story. I appreciate your view.  I&#039;m more than excited that you have a perspective and want to challenge this.  It&#039;s more than most can muster.</description>
