To NFL Director of record Roger Goodall
And Gene Upshaw head of the NFL players association
As you are well aware on July 17 2007 Michael Vick and 3 other men were served with a federal indictment for dog fighting.
These men were accused of various things relating to this. Some of the most disgusting being the execution of dogs who didn't fight well.
The methods of execution included shooting the dogs with a pistol. Wetting them down and electrocuting them.or just picking them up and slamming them into the ground till they were finally dead.
Some of these dogs were perfectly healthy but because they couldn't fight or make them money they disposed of them like so much trash.
These actions should make any normal human being sick.
We as fans of the NFL and pet lovers alike would like to thank you for Suspending Vick until this matter is cleared up.
We would also like to request two things :
1. If Michael Vick is found guilty of these offenses that he be BANNED FOR LIFE FROM THE NFL.
Any person who willingly participates in crimes of this nature has no business trying to be a role model to millions.
2. That you undo some of the damage done to dog lovers and take an active stand AGAINST this brutality by
Showing people a better and loving way to interact with their dogs such as this. http://tinyurl.com/2f8j4m
We ask that you publicly stand for these values with us through a press release to address these matters
Thank you.

I just spent the last hour reading through the comments here and it is actually heart wrenching to see how many people are just as horrified by these details as I am. It feels like the silence from the top is getting louder every day but we cannot let them ignore what happened to those dogs. I am still looking into how exactly we can get this directly into the hands of the league office because they need to understand that this is not going to just fade away without a real response.

I keep refreshing the page and watching the counter tick up because it is actually happening and we are almost at one hundred signatures. Please just send the link to a few people right now since we need to keep this momentum going before the office of the commissioner decides to ignore us (which they definitely would love to do).

My family stopped watching games because of this. NFL should be ashamed to have him on any team roster.

BAN HIM. No place for animal abusers in professional sports. Kids look up to these guys and he is a monster.
