Petition seeks to keep Michael Vick from playing for Pittsburgh Steelers

No matter where Michael Vick goes, he can never get away from his 2007 conviction for his role in a dog-fighting ring.

A Change.org petition launched two days ago has already received nearly 20,000 signatures Thursday from individuals in support of keeping "Vick from ever wearing the coveted Steelers uniform!!"

Vick caught a break earlier this week when the unemployed quarterback was signed to a one-year deal by the Pittsburgh Steelers to backup Ben Roethlisberger.

"I'm hoping I get a chance to go out there and play," Vick said, according to Pittsburgh's website.
