True, Vick has not been tried in court yet. Innocent until proven guilty. I'm appalled that Vick put himself into this position in the first place. How can you own a home and not know that there were 66 dogs there, 55 of which were pitbulls? How could you not know that there were pens there? How could you maintain your innocence when according to court documents:

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- When a Bad Newz Kennels dog was wounded in a losing fight, NFL star Michael Vick was consulted before the animal was doused with water and electrocuted


Then there was also this:

About eight young dogs were put to death at the Surry County home after they were found not ready to fight in April 2007, the indictment said. They were killed "by hanging, drowning and/or slamming at least one dog's body to the ground."

For the sake of the NFL and for Vicks own personal safety, he should be suspended until after the case is over. I'm sure there is more than one dog loving defensive end, tackle or linebacker out there that would love to show him what it's like to be body slammed to death. If he is innocent, he should stay out of play before somebody hurts him. If he is guilty, then he should be banned from the NFL as an example to others, and to prevent retaliation from opposing players. In either case, he has hurt himself by his association with these people.
