With Michael Vick upcoming appearance in Thursday's preseason game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, it appears that he will be back in the NFL proverbial saddle for the upcoming season. However, protesters and animal rights activists will continue to fight the NFL on Vick's reinstatement back into the NFL.
A current Anti-Mike Vick website called, “Sack Mike Vick” is asking in a petition to boycott the NFL and its sponsors for allowing an ex-felon and pit-bull fighter back into the league. The site has many other ways of trying to let your outrage be heard like sending letters to NFL commissioner Roger Goddell and the Eagles organization.
Currently at this point the petition has a total of 13,375 signatures which is roughly how many people visit Kissing Suzy Kolber on a good day. To put this in
perspective, the people who are asking for LAN in Starcraft 2 totals up to 124,368.
It’s nice to see that some people have made a stance on the situation and I may agree with them on some level but these online petitions and letters to the NFL/Eagles organization are pretty much as useful as trying to put water into a leaky bucket.
They will be noticed but in the end, the website is not going to accomplish what it was set out to do. Mike Vick is still going to play in the NFL and people are going to fill the stadium regardless. For example, when the Cleveland Browns nearing the end of their season last when the team was dreadful, they still had nearly 90%-95% capacity at home. The NFL will not care if it loses a few thousand fans.
Although I commend the people at Sack Mike Vick for boycotting the NFL and Mike Vick, this is futile effort from stopping Mike Vick from playing in the National Football League.
