Fans Start Petition to Ban Michael Vick From Training Camp (@mikevick)



Michael Vick joining the NY Jets has been met with hot and cold responses. Some think of his skill as a player and can't help but look forward to his contributions to the team. Others feel Vick's controversial past of pleading guilty to crimes related to dogfighting should be enough to ban the NFL star from the field completely. The latter group has taken it upon themselves to create a petition on Change.org to ban Vick from beginning training camp with his new team.


A SUNY Courtland student began the petition, as Courtland is a main practice site for the NY Jets, addressed to the School's president, Erik J. Bitterbaum. It states that Vick "is a monster and a disgrace, and has never once apologized" for dogfighting. It goes on to call him a sociopath and claims that if Courtland were to "welcome Vick onto our campus, we are complicit in his crimes."
