Incredible site!

TONY DUNGY/MICHAEL VICK

MR. DUNGY MAY THINK HE IS WAS DOING THE MORAL, THE CHRISTIAN THING BY MENTORING MICHAEL VICK BACK INTO THE N.F.L.. HOWEVER, IT IS MY BELIEF THAT MR. DUNGY WILL FIND IT MOST DISCONCERTING WHEN HE REALIZES HE HAS BEEN USED BY VICK SOLELY FOR PERSONAL GAIN. I DO NOT BELIEVE VICK HAD SOME GREAT AWAKENING, AN EPIPHANY WHILE IN PRISON. MOREOVER, I FEEL HE IS JUST DOING WHAT PSYCHO-PATHS DO BEST....USING THE SYSTEM TO HIS BEHALF. TOGETHER, TONY DUNGY AND COMMISSIONER ROGER GOODELL HAVE DEMEANED THE PROFESSIONAL ETHICS OF SPORT WITH THEIR SHORT-SIGHTED, NAIVE SUPPORT OF MICHAEL VICK. NOW, IT IS UP TO US TO DECIDE WHETHER WILL WE WILL SUPPORT THEIR POOR DECISION MAKING BY CONTINUING TO SUPPORT THIS DYSFUNCTIONAL SYSTEM [N.F.L.] THAT APPEARS TO SOMEHOW REWARD ABERRANT BEHAVIOR SUCH AS THAT PERPETRATED BY THE LIKES OF VICK.

Support of Michael Vick

I am very upset to see Mr. Dungy support Michael Vick following Vick's release from prison. I have been widowed for almost 10 years and have been raising a son who is now 14 on my own. I have never broken the law, I don't smoke or drink and nor do I date. My concentration is on my son and to support him in every way which includes keeping him on the straight and narrow and becoming a law abiding adult. I have been unemployed for 16 months and have struggled tremendously with my finances. I have been unable to keep up my house payments; I can't sell my house at this time because I am unable to purchase another one due to my late mortgage payments. I am desperately looking for work and cannot get the support I need to find employment. I was married to a Veteran and I, too, am a Veteran. I cannot find work nor can I attend college (the local community college without up front payment). I feel like I want to dig a hole and jump into it. I am sick and tired of seeing people who break the law come out of prison and get employment. I am not popular like Michael Vick so therefore I guess I'm destined to be thrown out to the wind. Is this America?
