Michael Vick is suspended by the NFL

vick.pngMichael Vick has been suspended by the NFL, we can only hope that some kind of jail time is next:

The National Football League has indefinitely suspended Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick without pay, officials with the league said Friday.

NFL star Michael Vick is set to appear in court Monday. A judge will have the final say on a plea deal.

Earlier, Vick admitted to participating in a dogfighting ring as part of a plea agreement with federal prosecutors in Virginia.

“Your admitted conduct was not only illegal, but also cruel and reprehensible. Your team, the NFL, and NFL fans have all been hurt by your actions,” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in a letter to Vick.

Goodell said he would review the status of the suspension after the legal proceedings are over.

In papers filed Friday with a federal court in Virginia, Vick also admitted that he and two co-conspirators killed dogs that did not fight well.

By the way, that Michael Vick dog toy is available to buy here.

    He will get away with it just like the other criminal celebrities out there. They always do get away with it because they have enough money to pay off the judge who in return will slap Vick on the hand and fine him $100. But if this was a NON-CELEBRITY statused person, they would get the death penalty, no chance of parole, and a criminal record for life!

    Personally, I think Vick should fry for what he has done. He is suppose to be a role model for others and he failed his part. Now he should lose his job and his freedom..

    But, he will be back on the team before next season. Lack of evidence will be claimed and the case will be thrown out of court! I wonder how long it will take before he gets his own movie on the scandal of Mike Vick? You all know, he and others will have to cash in on this shit!
