I was reading an article about the whole Vick fiasco and it said assuming that he doesnt get the potential 10 year jail sentence that when he gets out if he's still physically able to play ball he will have a hard time getting back into the NFL because he'll have lost alot of skill and few owners will risk taking him. He could potentially make his way to the CFL the only possible hurdle there being getting a Canadian Visa in light of his criminal record. So if Vick was a Blue Bomber would you stop supporting the team in light of his terrible, and cruel mistakes?

WinnipegJets It's not impossible, as I said it depends on how much jail time he gets but when he gets out if it isnt too long he'll have a very hard time getting an NFL owner to take a chance on him so the CFL may be the only option, assuming he can get a Canadian Visa. Look at how rich the bombers are getting in light of the great attendance if it happened we may be able to get em. If it did happen though we'd have PETA members crawling all over town crying though.

Would they let him in Canada with a Federal record?

He could apply for a waiver, and then be allowed in.
I highly doubt he would be signed by any team here and I wouldn't want to see him here either

Well personally I think that once he does his jail sentence, he's paid his debt to society and should be allowed to have his old job back.

If he's suspended (lifetime ban) in the NFL, he can't play in the CFL. Ricky Williams became the trigger for that rule.

i believe he'll have a better chance at getting an NFL contract than a CFL one. they have a league of 32 owners, at least one of them will bid higher than any canadian club. And if he so happened to land on the Bombers I would cheer for the Bombers but not for Vick.

My gf would KILL me if I supported a team with Michael Vick on it, even if it was the Bombers. Keep the guy out of the CFL. It could only do damage to the league.

because if he can do those kind of things to an animal, what would stop him from doing anything to a person? he felt nothing for those dogs. and there are links to prove that when people do horrible things to animals, they are predisposed to being able to hurt people to. thats why.

Yes but he's still a human being isnt he? And the last time I checked were all entiteled to a 2nd chance. Yes thats true about the transition from hurting animals to people but consider that he's going to jail which will set him straight. Plus Vick grew up in a very different place where dog fighting isnt as scarce common.
