Michael Vick has some supporters out there that has his back.
Last week, several petitions popped up that called for the NFL to remove former Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick as one of four Legends captains at the 2020 Pro Bowl due to his past history of animal abuse that was uncovered nearly 12 years ago.
Fans of Vick were not going to let that petition go on without an answer of their own.
A pro-Vick petition popped up this week, called, “Do NOT remove Michael Vick as Pro Bowl Captain” and it has garnered an insane amount of support as well.
“Michael Vick was an amazing player during his time in the NFL. He committed a crime. He paid his debt for that crime. His crime doesn’t negate his records and his contribution to the teams he played for. The same people who will preach about forgiveness for injustices against human life will hold grudges in regards to animals. Forgiveness is forgiveness.”
So far, more than 135K people have signed the petition to keep Vick as a Pro Bowl captain.
