Opinion: Disgraced Athletes Should Stop Playing The Kid Card

You people who JUDGE and JURY others.. Need a class or something in Hypocrisy.. You all.. And I mean ALL have done something WRONG in your lifes.. Regardless of what it was, or how bad it wasn't, From stealing a dollar that wasn't yours, to talking behind someones back.. You did something Wrong. Regardless of how you want to defend it.. "Spare me that was't a bad thing", or "Give me a Break.. You Can not Even Compare them!" But yes you can, and I will. EVERYONE has SKELETONS in thier Closet.. But you chose to be a Hypicrit about it, and tell everyone else what they should or shouldn't do, or how they should act, or shouldn't..Get a Life, Get a God, and Give us all a break.. Its Life, we all make Mistakes, Stop Juding others, Your DAY will Come, I PROMISE you all.. It will COME...

nickibeme responds to Mia by saying, "You people who JUDGE and JURY others.. Need a class or something in Hypocrisy.. You all.. And I mean ALL have done something WRONG in your lifes.. Regardless of what it was, or how bad it wasn't, From stealing a dollar that wasn't yours, to talking behind someones back.." I can't believe that this jackass is equating stealing a dollar or gossiping to the the torture of animals. Using that "brilliant" logic, I guess we should not criticize those who murder or rape, either, since we have all done something wrong. nickibeme is another example of how you just can't fix stupid.

May GOD bless you ...with no forgiveness in your heart you can bet your life will continue ....out of control, full of negativity ..drawing more and more and no real intimacy or LOVE.

One thing you ALL have to realize is holding negative thoughts and emotions is what dis-eases people and causes feelings of lonliness, despair and depression. Not being able to conjure love and forgiveness for another shows just how far you are from the GREAT LIFE you ARE.... Try harder to forgive it is the only way to cultivate LOVE forgiveness and compassion for YOURSELF!

Are you serious? You and your greater than thou partners need to get counseling. I just hope whenever you need forgiveness someone is around to give it to you. You all should be ashamed of yourselves.

There's mistakes, then there are felonies. When a doctor is convicted of a felony, he generally does NOT get his license back and has to find a new profession. I fail to understand why a professional athlete "should" be allowed to return to a multimillion dollar paycheck after committing a felony, and no logic to banning one athlete for life because he bet on a game, but letting a murderer play again. Second chance, yes; second chance to be a spoiled millionaire, no. Perhaps if they knew without a shadow of a doubt that their career would be permanently over if they were convicted of a felony, they would exhibit a little more self-control and responsibility. Instead, they can continue to carry the "I can do whatever I want and nobody will bother me much about it" attitude and, sadly, they're mostly right. Apparently, the ability to run back and forth while holding a ball confers exemption from all standards of civilized behavior. A truly fine thing to be teaching our children.

Nickibeme I have done things wrong I have even beat humans down but I have never..NEVER harmed an animal or a child because both are defenseless victims. Any one that can harm an innocent animal or child is a worthless piece of crap that I would happily beat the hell out of because that person deserves to feel the pain he/she inflicts. I do not claim to be a saint but I can also say a coward only prays on the defenseless and I am not a coward. A human adult may deserve an ass whoopin from time to time therefore although it may not appear to make me a saint in your eyes I am happy to give it to those who need it.

why would u say such a thing everyone deserves a right to live even you.he who has not sin shall cast the first stone and i dont know you but i bet you can pick up one.

Karena...True Dat!! The only thing Vick is "sorry" for is that he got CAUGHT! Had he not been, he would STILL be dog-fighting. Anyone who preys on the innocent is a gutless punk! What he should be doing for restitution is (1) paying an annual stipend to Dog Town and several other animal rescue groups and (2) shoveling shit at an animal shelter.
And yea, Nickibeme...we all have skeletons in our closets, but at least mine (& most everyone else's) aren't in the form of murdered dogs!

No, no one should be tortured and it sad to hear a Mother speak this way...what would your children think?

How do you really believe your Self to be better spouting such utter disgusting negativity.

Your Kids need a prayer and your animals too..cause if you still believe in an eye for an eye..you can best believe it is with them that that BELIEF will play itself out.

I shudder to think what it WILL take for you and alot of others to just look at your own behavior, thoughts and words.....if you only knew that the kind of negativity you're allowing to well up and spill over can only hurt you and yours.

Be Well Mommy!!

You're a disgusting example of a human being. Who are you to judge anyone. We'll probably see you to catch a predator one day.

The only thing that is sick is your self serving comments about who should be forgiven and who shouldn't. I hope when your time comes for forgiveness you're given the same treatment that you are more than willing to give others. Way too pathetic.

WOW!!!
where do you think young african americans learn to fight dogs? Honey you must be willing to see that it is YOUR ANCESTORS who began such vile and inhumane practices..

Just like Af Americans are asked to forgive ALL the atrocities that have been endured at the hand of white people and in this very WHITE society.. Now it is your turn to understand, acknowledge and do your best to hold a great feeling in your heart where all who do terrible things are concerned....

Try...please..for ALLof US.

I couldn't agree more Denny. The only thing Vick is sorry for is GETTING CAUGHT! In all of the interviews I've watched him do, not once did I get the sense that he regretted being involved in dog fighting. Furthermore, I feel that the SYSTEM failed us as a community by giving him such a lenient sentence. If I had commited the same crimes as Vick did, I would still be sitting in a jail cell. Of course, I can't throw a football more than a few feet, or run the ball into the endzone past 1/2 a dozen huge men who are trying to crush me. If I was in his position, I'm certain that one of the conditions of my release would be that absolutely NO ASSOCIATION with children or animals (women should be included) would be allowed. Vick IS an animal, and he has nothing positive to offer our youth. He should still be in prison, and once released, should not be allowed to return to football and his multi-million dollar contract. He didn't suffer one iota compared to the dogs he tortured and killed. What a travesty!
