Michael Vick Book Signing Tour Canceled After Death Threats
Aren't you glad Reid didn't bring Vick with him to KC?
Evidently some people think his redemption story is a fraud and threats have been made to him and his family. "Michael Vick has canceled appearances to promote his new book because of death threats against him and his family. Vick was scheduled to sign copies of his autobiography, “Finally Free,” at Barnes and Noble stores in Atlanta, New Jersey and Pennsylvania until receiving threats in connection with his past involvement in a dog fighting ring, for which he served time in prison. “We cannot knowingly put anyone in harm’s way,” Byron Williamson, president of Worthy Publishing, told Phillymag.com’s Tim McManus, “and therefore we must announce the cancellation of Mr. Vick’s book-signing appearances.” http://www.nydailynews.com/news/nati...icle-1.1285869 http://www.phillymag.com/eagles/2013...ZXuId4.twitter http://www.tmz.com/2013/03/14/michae...-death-threat/ http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/...death-threats/ |

It's not his redemption story that's the fraud, it's him.

The guy served actual, pound you in the ass prison time for what he did, something pretty rare these days for a pro athlete as popular as he was, he didnt get any money/fame consideration... its high time people have a heart and let it go, imo.
Death threats? c'mon man. |

Protest Vick the dog killer coming to your town after you've had some chicken fingers and milk. Never mind how they made it to your table.

He did serve his time. He didn't just kill dogs he got his rocks off torturing dogs. I don't agree with the death threats but Vick is the last guy I feel sorry for.

People who consider dogs so important that human beings should be murdered do not have their priorities straight. The man did his time. He certainly has more legal karma to pay back than Kellen Winslow and Leonard Little did when they killed actual people.
