Michael Vick Reality Show “The Michael Vick Project” On BET
Fresh off an 18 month prison stint, Michael Vick is picking up the pieces of his life — on a new television reality show.
The Michael Vick Project will premiere on Bamboozled Entertainment Television, AKA BET, later this year and is said to focus on the NFL quarterback’s controversial comeback with the Philadelphia Eagles.
First the trainwreck that is Frankie & Neffe, and now this? BET gives away more reality shows than social services gives away government cheese.
Vick, who served time for running an interstate dog fighting ring, tells The L.A. Times Blog: “I just want people to really get to know me as an individual. What I want to do is change the perception of me. I am a human being. I’ve made some mistakes in the past, and I wish it had never happened. But it’s not about how you fall, but about how you pick yourself up.”

its not a shocker that BET, which rewards black people for what the public receive as “ghetto” to give vick a reality show. It is a complete disgrace and further helps the cause of them as “ghetto.”

Why is everyone so hard on BET. They’re no different from the MTV many ridiculous reality shows. If you look at the actual shows, they really aren’t bad because there are life lessons learned in each one. We are just a nation of haters, come on people wake up.

Oh and by the way, in response js, ghetto is a state of mind not a race. There are plenty of ghetto people of other races. My question is…why are white people so uptight and make a big deal out of every little thing. I mean, get some of these homeless children off of the street before worrying about the welfare of a damn animal. Another issue I have with them is their unwillingness to forgive, let go and move on. That must be miserable!

Michael Vick does not feel bad about what he did, only that he got caught. To do what he did was not a mistake; it was a conscious decision and will haunt him and all who associate with him forever.

I think Vick is a disgrace to humanity. Sure, he can play football and, apparently that’s more important than a breathing animal. Poor Vick, he goes to jail for doing something ILLEGAL – comes out, goes back to making millions PLAYING A GAME and now he needs a reality show to supplement his NFL Check. He can’t seem to make it with that alone – he always needs income on the side.

To all those supporting Vick”s new reality show:
Those of us opposing his new show never said that Vick shouldn’t be able to move on with his life after what he did.
He does have a right to move on with his life and try to put this behind him.
However, he is NOT qualified, and does NOT deserve, to be a public role model after needlessly and brutally torturing and killing defenseless animals.
Forgiving Mike Vick does not mean that we should now put blind faith in him to be a responsible, honest role model for our children.
What lesson will everyone, including our children,
learn from watching Vick’s new show?
……that a pro-ball player can torture and kill innocent animals, serve a short jail term, get out and get their job back making millions of dollars,
and then get their own television show…!!
Shame on you, BET…..

The man paid his dues for his mistakes and you people dont want to give him a second chance? how sickening. How many second chances did robert downey jr. have? how bad of a screw up was britney spears? Or better yet how bad of a screw up was our last president George Bush? Get off of Vicks back and give him second chance, I support him %100

I does not matter because Vick will be spending his eternity in with Satan. Anyone who enjoys watching and participating in the death and torture of others does not feel love and is the creation of the devil. That is his punishment. On the other hand, I feel having him in a TV show is a huge mistake. He is absolutely no role model for children. There are a million unsung heroes in the world to choose from. As usual, big money companies selling out for the $$$$$$. Traders.

Here’s a “docu-drama” that’s worth watching, instead, because it shows the real hero of this story – one of the dogs! Leo is a pit bull who was rescued from Vick’s Bad Newz Kennels, who is now a Therapy Dog.
If you feel enraged, please pass this one on, instead.

People. Please learn to be forgiving and have a heart of compassion. =
Proverbs 4:17 Do not gloat when your enemy falls; when he stumbles, do not let
your heart rejoice,
29 Do not say, “I’ll do to him as he has done to me; I’ll pay that man
back for what he did.”
25:21 If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat; if he is thirsty,
give him water to drink.
22 In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head, and the LORD
will reward you.
Matthew 5:7 Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
Matthew 6:14 For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father
will also forgive you.
Luke 6: 37 “Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will
not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.
17:3 So watch yourselves. “If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he
repents, forgive him.
4 If he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times comes back
to you and says, ‘I repent,’ forgive him.”

We are sick of him too please make him go away i’m tired of seeing his lying sociopathic face on tv and the internet, the man is a stain on society he has no redeeming qualities he should learn how to be a real man instead of hiding behind his celebrity to get out of things he’s done wrong, He didn’t go to jail for dogfighting he went to jail for lying to the feds and for gambling across state lines and he woudln’t have had that if he hadn’t LIED to the feds read the court documents people they are public it’s not brain surgery. Why is it people rally around thugs like OJ and Vick when they do stuff wrong? I don’t get it When Dahmer killed and ate people I sure as hell wasn’t at the jail supportin his crazy arse… Knowledge is power and alot of you all and BET need to get a clue … I don’t give a crap if Vick was pink what he did was wrong and he does not deserve to get rewarded for his actions end of story…
