Most fans don't want Michael Vick back

Michael Vick should not be allowed to play in the NFL again, most professional football fans, according to Gallup Poll released by The Associated Press. According to the survey, 58 percent said he should not be allowed to play in the NFL anymore. Only 22 percent said they would want the team they root for to try to acquire him should he return. In addition, 35 percent said they believe he should serve a long prison sentence, 51 percent said they favored a short one, and 12 percent said they believe he should not serve any time. The survey involved telephone interviews with 1,001 adults from Aug. 23 to 26. The overall margin of sampling error was plus or minus four percentage points.

  1. Could we move on and get something else in the sports news

  2. I don't really want to see him back either, but, there are also some other NFL players who should be out of the league too for their actions. If Vick is kept out, but people like Leonard Little and Ray Lewis are still playing, it will signal a terrible hipocracy for the NFL. If they kick one person like Vick out for his actions, they should do it for others too.

  3. I don't know what fans you are referring to in this article, but many of us in Atlanta want Vick back on the team. The media is so biased, just amazing.
