Vick Case Sheds Light on Dogfighting
Vick's indictment was handed up Tuesday in Richmond, Va., in federal district court. He faces charges of transporting fighting dogs across state lines and engaging in dogfighting. Conviction could mean a six-year prison term and a $350,000 fine.
Vick and the three other men are scheduled to have a bond hearing and arraignment July 26, the day the Falcons begin training camp.After a meeting involving NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and the Falcons, the league will let Vick keep playing, the Associated Press reported. The AP reported that a person with knowledge of the meeting, who requested anonymity so the case would not be influenced, said the NFL would stick to that position for the foreseeable future, despite its new personal-conduct policy.

I hate him. Which is so unlike me because I love everyone. Except that bitch who lives down the street.
Dick: That makes two people you hate, so you really don't love EVERYONE.
It figures. Play professional sports and you can get away with murder and torture.
I've lost my 'surprise me again site. Look for me at surprise me, please. :)
what does this say about our society? How many people would stop watching NFL football in protest to this? Hey, talk is cheap. If you have a conduct policy it either sticks or it doesn't, right?
Okay, fine. So now I hate Michael Vick AND the Falcons.
I bet if football fans started pelting that asshole with stuffed toy dogs every time he took the field they'd find a way to get rid of him fast.
Throw away the key on that guy.
Unfortunately, these kind of things are usually given lip service and not substance. Baseball decided to make an example of Dodgers pitcher Steve Howe, who kept violating the league's drug poliicies, in the 1980's. They kept giving him chance after chance. In the end, it didn't help him. When he died in a car crash last year, he had had methamphetamine in his blood.
