Dear Roger Goodell,
I am writing to you about Michael Vick, and the possibility of him playing professional football for the NFL in the future. It is my understanding that you are considering reinstating Michael Vick to the NFL following his release from prison. I strongly urge you to ban Michael Vick from the NFL- PERMANENTLY! NFL players are our Nations heroes, with millions of children watching games and aspiring to be just like their favorite players. Please consider the message that you will be sending to our nations youth! Michael Vick had his opportunity to live the good life, but he threw it away quite carelessly. It is time to let some new talent into the game, rather than letting him return. I am a huge football fan, and watching rookies like Felix Jones walk onto the field is a testiment to the fact that there is more than enough talent out there, just waiting to be discovered. If you do reinstate Michael Vick to the NFL, I will boycott the NFL and all of their
sponsors, and urge everyone I can to do the same. I have started a petition to submit to you when the time is right. But I can tell you that in just 2 weeks, It has generated more than 4000 signatures of people that are willing to do the same. I can assure you that I will not stop with this petition, and will be at the frontlines protesting every game he will ever play in, and I guarantee that there will be tens of thousands of people there with me. Instead of reinstating him and marking the NFL with this awful stigma, think of all of the fans that you will be driving away from football. Please please please think of the fans!!!
Thank you so much for your time, Mr. Goodell.
Sincerely,
Caroline Bishop
