Outspoken Buffalo Bills wide receiver Terrell Owens is letting Twitter do the talking for him when it comes to defending former Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick, who just finished serving a 23-month prison sentence for his role in a dog-fighting operation and is reportedly facing a four-game suspension from the National Football League if he signs with a team.
Owens sent this tweet on Sunday evening, according to USA Today: “Who’s w/me on the Vick situation? All n favor, lemme get a tweet 2 support Mike Vick! He did the time 4 the crime! Let the guy play!!”
And several NFL players responded.
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald: “im in support of mike vick too man.I wanna c him back in action being the human highlight film he is.Im with ya bro.”
Minnesota Vikings tight end Visanthe Shiancoe: “Never heard him complain or wine… I respect him. Let the man play.”
Cardinals defensive end Darnell Dockett: “he did time and lost his shoe deal, and paid fines. Dear Commissioner please reinstate mike vick. PLEASE.”
St. Louis Rams running back Steven Jackson: “Don’t agree with 4 games, 23 months is enough…He will not be able 2 vote anymore. He has lost enough, allow the man 2 move on with his life. We dnt have a heaven or a hell 2 put him n.”
