Fact of the matter, Vick has committed heinous crimes, has served his time and has earned the right to move on with his life. Its not up to me to decide whether or not Michael Vick deserves “forgiveness,” that is in God's hands. However it is my choice to decide which sports teams I choose to root for and my heart is simply not with the Eagles anymore and as a result in the eyes of many of my ex-brethren Eagle fans I am an unforgiving racist hypocrite.
“However, it is my choice to decide which sports team I choose to root for...”
You are so right. Forgiveness is not ours to give (that is solely up to the Lord). However, I don’t have to like someone or cheer them on just because they “did their time”. It isn’t the same thing but I wouldn’t want a rapist to live next door to me even if they “served” their time. As for the people who equate dog fighting and hunting.... the two are nothing alike. One is for food. Did Vick eat his dogs? The other is for some sick enjoyment watching/betting on one dog viciously attacking and killing another. As long as he is with the Eagles, they won’t see me as a fan. Thanks.
