Uuhhm?
I think that instead of showing his NFL achievements foremost, that the main Wikipedia page when his name is searched should represent that he's a scumbag who took beautiful canine lives and did what he did with them. Disgusting.
And by not showing that on the initial bio is pretty messed up . Yes it's well known what occured but still, would be nice to see his convictions for dog abuse be held in higher degree than his foosball achievements... 2603:90C8:300:48D9:AC99:A64C:F6A4:9FE3 (talk) 23:11, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Vick's
notability comes from his football career, not his dog fighting ring. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:17, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply

Dogs drink out of a toilet and lick their own excrement. They maul each other as a sport. Their lives are no more valuable than a human life. Get over it. If you feel this strongly, perhaps you should say the same things about other NFL professionals, many of Caucasian complexion, who've been charged of domestic abuse, rape, vehicular homicide and similar.
Furthermore, the criminal records show Vick was not directly involved with any of this. He simply owned property in which dog fights were held. Again, the life of a toilet bowl drinker does not surpass that of a human being. Get your head on right. Zerochuckdude (talk) 16:26, 22 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Change first line to "is a convicted ani.al abuser who would hang, beat, drown, and shoot dogs". He does not deserve to be excused from this horrific behavior on the basis he used to throw a freaking sports ball around. He is an abomination of a human, the lowest of scum, and should not be remembered as anything else. 73.30.10.88 (talk) 00:42, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
