Looks like the Falcons will try to trade the contract rights on Michael Vick to another team. That's a smart play!
For anyone who doesn't know, Michael Vick is the disgusting S.O.B. currently in federal prison on felony convictions for dogfighting, animal abuse/cruelty. (For more of the gory and heart breaking details of the animal abuse just Google him.) He is scheduled to be released in July.
Vick has a contract that runs to 2013 and calls for him to receive a base salary of $9 million and a bonus of $6.43 million in 2009. The remainder of the contract is worth $45.11 million, with another possible $3 million in Pro Bowl bonuses.
The Falcons stated, “We feel a trade is the best move for the Falcons, and it’s also in the best interest for Michael,”. “This has been a really unique situation from a variety of standpoints and because we will actively be involved in a trade situation, I don’t envision our organization speaking any more about this subject publicly until it’s reached a resolution.”
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello Friday reiterated commissioner Roger Goodell’s statement when he suspended Vick on Aug. 24 2007 that he will review Vick’s status when legal proceedings are done.
I personally will be boycotting the NFL if they allow this criminal to return to the game. Our sports team members are role models for our children and represent our country to the world. We cannot allow bad people to become superstars and role models.
I will be using my voice to make sure Vick's heinous actions are not forgotten. I will also be reaching out to my local, federal and state governments to put pressure on the NFL to get rid of this guy. I hope you do to.
