I'm just trying to find the parameters of protest because it may be very likely that we'll have to boycott the vast majority of the NFL.

Then I suggest you devote the rest of this year exclusively to finding those parameters & ......good luck.:2wave:
 
Then the NBA is ****ed.

I have not watched an NBA game in many years, though that has nothing to do with the players, just that I find the sport mind numbingly boring.

I'm not putting on the parameters, your ilk is.

BTW, you boycotting the Browns? It's the 3rd time I've asked.

Oh, basketball is maybe a step up from soccer on the sports ladder, it's terrible. I wish we'd get it off the air and put on more hockey, the greatest of all sports.

100 % agree with everything you said there.

My "Ilk" eh?....I think you need to do a little research yourself. Do some research, spend a little time investigating. You can ask me off topic questions 4,000 times if you choose. .....The topic is ...Would You Boycott Phill Eagles Games After They Signed Vick?

Dodge dodge dodge.

The point about the Browns is pertinent to this thread because I think you're a hypocrite who is only going after Vick because he happened to involve dogs. Instead of applying equally your rage against the Browns who kept Stallworth after he killed someone, you rage against Philly only against a man who is one of the few sports stars to have served an actual term and paid his dues properly. It's silly. But you corrupt your own integrity and resolve by refusing to answer how you would behave towards other clubs who have kept people or signed people who have had legal problems. It just shows your lack of integrity on the subject and raises suspicion that it's brewed due to personal bias against animal cruelty and less to do with actual committing of a crime.
 
I think you're a hypocrite

you rage against Philly

you corrupt your own integrity

It just shows your lack of integrity

All you have is personal attack so you are just to petty & boring to deal with.
BTW, the only one exhibiting RAGE is you.;)


Grow up a bit, get a grip & try debating rather than resorting to personal attacks, stay on topic & maybe someone would actualy care to discuss something with you.
 
more dodge dodge dodge.

Those aren't personal attacks, those are my opinions of your argument here. Vick Vick Vick is all you say, but there are way worse people or rather people whom have done worse things in the NFL today, and I don't see you making threads about it, I don't see you talking about it. Why? Vick isn't the only one to have committed crimes and be allowed to play football, but you only talk about the Eagles. So it lends to suspicion against your reasons for this. If it were truly the criminal thing, you'd list a bunch of teams to boycott...but it's only the Eagles, only Vick. I have to question someone's integrity if they're going to tell me someone committed a crime and thus we need to boycott their team when they refuse to call for boycott on other teams with people who have committed crime. I'm sorry if you're offended but if so try to be more consistent in your arguments and it won't happen.

And Vick is black. Probably does not like the idea of a black quarterback. I think it is mostly racist.

Why thank you scourge99.......A very good suggestion! (who knows...maybe he'll learn how to argue a point of view with some maturity & integrity!);)

Calling a spade a spade isn't a sign of immaturity or lack of integrity.

It does. Vick was not charged with animal cruelty. Regardless, DUI manslaughter does carry a higher maximum penalty than dog fighting, so I don't know what you are upset about. The Stallworth case had a MAJOR mitigating factor legally. The dude ran in front of his car. So the prosecution was rightly concerned with reasonable doubt. Who caused the death? Was it the drunk guy driving in the proper lane, but speeding? Or was it the guy who ran out in front of his car? The mere fact he was DUI does not mean it was his fault the guy died. Not quite so cut and dried, is it? Vick's case was as cut and dried as any could be. He did it. He did it on purpose. All the time. Like I said, they are not even close.

Doesn't matter. You said we "valued a dog's life more". That is factually incorrect. We clearly do not.

See above. Who caused the death? Witnesses said the guy ran out in front of Stallworth's car. Had he not done that he'd be alive, no matter how drunk Stallworth was.

Actually, of the two of us I was only one who made any sense at all. If you don't want your irrelevant points picked apart, then don't make them.

Actually the Stallworth case is very cut and dry. He had a BAC of .126 and was speeding and possibly running a red light when he hit the victim, who may or may not have been in the crosswalk. But the fact that the guy wasn't in the crosswalk shouldn't have gotten Stallworth any less of a sentence. You're wrong, the mere fact that he was DUI did cause the guy to die because multiple sources said Stallworth made no attempt to slow down. If he wasn'y impaired, maybe he drives the speed limit or maybe he hits the brake or swerves.

Vick was charged with dogfighting, Stallworth with DUI manslaughter. Vick gets a year in jail, Stallworth 30 days. I don't understand how you don't see a problem with this. Vick's case wasn't as cut and dry as you think. No one knows how many dogs Vick actually tortured and killed himself, or how many were done by his associates on his property (which he is still held responsible for). The Feds say he killed 7 dogs but that number is disputed by many (some say he only 2 or 3 dogs). As I said repeatedly, I'm not condining dogfighting. All I'm saying is that I find it hard that out justice system can sentence someone to a year in jail for alledgedly killing 7 dogs but gives someone 30 days for getting hammered, speeding, and ramming into someone, killing him. Something has to be done to fix this, it's outrageous.

My belief: Dogfighting is a rare crime and Vick was a star QB (although I think he was pretty overrated) and the Feds wanted to make an example of him. DUI is a fairly common crime committed and Donte Stallworth is a nobody who had one good year in Philly, so no need to make an example out of him. This is absolute appeasement to the PETA animal rights crowd. Horrible job handling both cases by the court system.
 
Those of you who will boycott Eagles games will you still boycott if they make it to play in the Super Bowl? Would you watch that game?

No, I would not watch that game under those conditions.
 
And to the OP:

Will you boycott the Dallas Mavericks because Jason Kidd was arrested for domestic absue a view years ago?

Will you boycott the Philadelphia Phillies because Brett Myers beat his wife 2 years ago in Boston?

Will you boycott the Cincinnati Bengals or Portland Trail Blazers because their entire team has at one point gotten arrested for something?

Will you boycott Major League Baseball for the rampant illegal drug use from steriods and PEDs?

Will you boycott Lindsay Lohan movies and other assorted crap she does because she got arrested for whatever is she did?

Paris Hilton was arrested for DUI, Mel Gibson is an anti-Semite, the list goes on and on. To make a "statement" by boycotting Michael Vick is completely assinine. There are a lot worse people in the world than Michael Vick.

Yes to the 1st
Of course not to the 2nd.

To bad what I said is true.

We all know it. That is why when we want real results we do open polls. ;)

No "may or may not have been". The facts were agreed upon. He ran in front of Stallworth's car. Running a red light? Conjecture not in evidence. What you fail to see is that the court has prove Stallworth's actions caused the guy's death. That's how it works. Tough to prove you killed someone when they ran in front of your car, eh? Reasonable doubt a little?


Vick was charged with dogfighting, Stallworth with DUI manslaughter. Vick gets a year in jail, Stallworth 30 days. I don't understand how you don't see a problem with this.

Already explained.

Already explained. It's quite simple.

My belief: Dogfighting is a rare crime and Vick was a star QB (although I think he was pretty overrated) and the Feds wanted to make an example of him.

Maybe. But it's not that rare. You don't live down south, do you?

DUI is a fairly common crime committed and Donte Stallworth is a nobody who had one good year in Philly, so no need to make an example out of him. This is absolute appeasement to the PETA animal rights crowd. Horrible job handling both cases by the court system.

Plus, the guy ran in front of his car! The dogs did not wrap a noose around their necks and jump off a tree.
 
Can you please link me to a story that says the guy blatantly ran out in front of the car?? Because everything I have heard was all speculative. Some said he was running to get a bus, others said he was in the road and Stallworth didn't brake. I have yet to come across a report that says the dude jumped in front of Stallworth's car. And I live in New York City, I'm sure there is plenty of dogfighting up here. Just not as common as DUI related deaths. Stallworth should have gotten at least5-10 for DUI manslaughter in the 1st degree. Vick should have gotten 30 days in jail. I know that is not law or precedent, but that's what we need to change in this country.
