What about the students and families that are still offended by Vick's actions?

Personally, I wouldn't attend if I were one of the students graduating. I'm assuming some of those students feel the same way. I guess they just get screwed out of a ceremony after all the work they did. Not everyone wants to listen to a dog murdering, herpes spreading, drug user.

I fully expect people to jump all over me for this but whatever. It doesn't change the fact that schools shouldn't be bringing in speakers with a checkered past and ruin graduation for some of the students. You can argue that the students voted for Vick but he shouldn't even be on the ballot. Not to mention, there were at least three candidates mentioned in the article so Vick potentially only needed 35% to win. I'm sure it was a higher percentage than that but the point is, a lot of people were offended by what he did and the school just took the liberty of ruining the graduation ceremony for some of those kids. Nice...

He killed dogs, right? Presumably dogs that he bought on his own?

I still fail to see the outrage.

You don't understand why someone would be upset that he strangled, electrocuted and drowned to death some dogs? Gotcha

Christ dude move on. Why you think the guy should pay the rest of his life is beyond me.

They are dogs. I'll be upset when Vick strangles, electrocutes, and drowns a human.

What do you think about Dwayne Goodrich, Leonard Little or Donte Stallworth?

That's irrelevant. They were living, breathing animals that don't deserve to be tortured and killed. Doesn't make it ok because he owns them. That's why animal cruelty is against the law

I'm not condoning it but torturing dogs is way down the list of things people should be put in jail for.

Mary Winkler shot her husband in theback of the head... while he was sleeping!!! She did far less jail time for that than Vick did for killing a few dogs.

I'm just saying.

Because there is no way anyone with a checkered past could have anything useful to tell people. He won the popular vote among the students. .....those that didn't want him lost.


We get that you don't feel like he suffered enough, but come on.

At a certain point, you have to have faith in your fellow man. He said he knows he did wrong and is sorry. He payed the price we as a society imposed. It's over.
