To Whom It May Concern:
This is an open letter to express my disgust at the hiring of Michael Vick by the Philadelphia Eagles. It is aimed primarily at the Philadelphia Eagles organization and the NFL, but I have also copied this letter to many local news agencies, elected officials, Eagles sponsors, etc.
I am a “dog person”, I am also a life-long Philadelphian. I live in South Philly minutes away from where all of our sports teams play. I have been an Eagles fan since birth, a die hard fan for all my 29 years, but sadly I have been forced to relinquish any and all support of the Eagles and the NFL in general.
“I'm ashamed to be a Philadelphian today! I will never again give a hint of support to the Eagles ever again! All of my Eagles stuff has been put into a big box to be sold, or burned, or whatever! I refuse to ever look at the emblem again b/c it is now a symbol of greed and immorality. I am literally sick over the hiring of this sociopath. The eagles have ruined a family tradition for us…shame on them!” This was my knee-jerk FaceBook post upon hearing this disappointing news, and after thinking about it for a few days, I still have the same exact reaction.
I am appalled that you would assume that the Eagles fans would take the signing of a ‘should-be’ felon with the same nonchalant attitude that your organization has shown. You have hired a sociopath who has no real remorse for what he did - his only remorse is for the fact that he was caught. Every word that came out of Vick’s mouth during that press conference was a well rehearsed script put together by his legal team. He could never think of any of that himself because he does not mean any of it. He is merely reciting empty meaningless words. I can guarantee that he would still be financing and participating in the disgusting illegal blood-sport today if he was not caught.
You are assuming that Eagles fans are stupid and uneducated; you have insulted and offended us by signing Vick. You have in turn lost my family as fans – forever! You have ruined a Sunday tradition that our family has carried out for generations. There will be no more cheering, or fun, or good-times surrounding any Eagles (or NFL) game in our house. We will never again support the Eagles or the NFL in any way. We refuse to support a team and an organization (the NFL) that has no moral standards. The NFL continues to look the other way when it comes to murderers, felons and thugs playing on their fields and I find this unacceptable. By letting this soulless person be a part of a once classy organization you have gone from class to crass. You have nothing to gain from this move other than grief and disrespect. You are a desperate mediocre team that has no respect or loyalty to its fans. It’s apparent that you’re only loyalty is to greed and money and to hell with your fans. So I say to hell with the Eagles and the NFL!
Vick has no conscious, and still hides behind the excuse of “culture”. As far as I’m aware dog-fighting, animal torture and all the illicit activities that surround it are all illegal in the south. I find it hard to believe that electrocuting, drowning, forcibly raping female dogs with vicious male dogs, and having dogs to fight to the death, is culture anywhere. If it takes getting caught to make you realize that dog-fighting and torturing dogs is something you should not be doing, then you have a real personal mental problem. So don’t patronize us with the “culture” excuse, and please stop feeding us that canned response of, “he deserves a second chance” because he does not. As I recall he has had a few previous chances in the NFL so this is more like his 3rd or 4th chance now. You know who deserves a second chance? Dan Leone deserves a second chance, but you never gave him one, and all he did was post to a social networking site about how you let a truly good player and man go. In retrospect, I am glad that you let Dawkins go so that he does not have to share the same team as this disgusting person that you so readily embraced. You fired an angel and you hired the devil – shame on you!
To Roger Goodell and the NFL top brass:
You are a disgrace. You have turned the NFL into a league of thugs & felons. It is a privilege to make it into the NFL, but you have ruined that now. You have taken the honor out of professional football.
As to Jeff Lurie & the Eagles front office:
How can you publicly condemn Vick’s heinous actions as you did during the 8/14/09 press conference, and then basically roll over and hire him? You are a hypocrite, you are no animal lover because no true animal lover would even want to be in the same room with Vick, let alone have him on their payroll. There is nothing proactive (as you say) about anything Vick is made to do concerning the condemnation of dog-fighting – it is all orchestrated by his lawyers and your organization. It’s all an illusion to try and dupe the people, but you’re not fooling me.
As to Andy Reid:
During the post-game press conference on 8/13/09 Reid said that he has followed the Vick case closely. Well apparently not because not only did Vick do what he did, but he repeatedly tried to dodge the charges the whole time he was indicted and while on trial. So this is the type of person that Reid wants to represent his team? A sneaky liar who refuses to take responsibility for his actions? It speaks not only to the Eagles character, but to Reid’s own character, or lack there of I should say. He should worry about rehabilitating his own sons before giving this monster a second chance. Vick has yet to really take responsibility for what he did, and the HSUS supporting him is just as big a joke as Reid’s post-game interview was.
As to Donovan McNabb:
“I have dogs and I’ve looked passed it and so should everyone else.”…or something like that. Would McNabb look past someone holding his dog’s head underwater until it’s stopped struggling and dies? Has he seen the pictures of the hell that Vick was running? I guess not, because those images are not something that any normal person can forget! How do you “look past” the actions someone who was profiting from torture? I don’t understand why McNabb is so happy about this move anyway. Does he not understand why the Eagles have this sudden interest in picking up new QBs? Does he not realize that his time here is slipping away and that he will soon be replaced by a dog- torturer? I guess not.
As to the City of Philadelphia:
Our city has enough image problems as it is. We are pretty much the murder capital of the country, we are for sure the number one puppy-mill state, and we have a ridiculous problem with illegal dog-fighting. So why would you add this element to an already ailing city? Why would Mayor Nutter and Governor Rendell agree with this and think that it is ok? I cannot comprehend this at any level.
As to the 60 Minutes interview between James Brown & Vick:
The only reason he seems to know that what he did was wrong is b/c that is what his lawyers told him. Vick never uttered one ounce of remorse for what he did to those poor dogs. He has yet to actually say “I’m Sorry.” All he admitted to being sorry for was the fact that he got caught, and had to go to jail, and be alone, and lose all his money, and blah blah blah. He never once directly confronted the issue at hand – his heinous treatment of those poor dogs - those living things. He is and always will be a liar. That is what that fluff interview showed.
Plexico Beris, Pac-Man Jones, Donte Stallworth, Tank Johnson, Chris Henry, Michael Vick and many other unnamed players…why do any of these players deserve second and third chances in the NFL? When you kill, sexually assault, torture animals, own illegal weapons, deal in illegal drugs, etc. you should lose that privilege. I’m sure that I would be fired from my job for far less than the offenses these losers have committed. According to the law Vick has paid his debt to society. However his road to redemption (if even possible) is much longer than the time he spent in prison - and that road certainly should not lead to a continued million dollar career in the NFL. You are presenting these thugs as role-models for young children, how does that make you feel? The NFL is becoming more corrupt every year and it’s time you wake up and see what you have become.
In closing, I have boxed up all my 29 years of Eagles stuff from jerseys to autographs to trinkets to decorations. I am going to sell it all to those fans who see nothing wrong with this situation and then I will donate the money to the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. You probably don’t even know who they are, they are the organization who rescued and rehabilitated 22 of the Vick dogs. You should look them up:
