By now, you’ve probably heard the news, but if you haven’t, here’s a recap. The NFL made a decision to name former Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick as one of the honorary captains for the upcoming Pro Bowl, and that decision was met with public outcry.
At the time of this story being published, more than 550,000 people found their way to Change.org to sign a petition urging the NFL to reverse that decision. The petition states “To honor a man who had zero regard for animals is unacceptable”. It also seems as though several other petitions have surfaced to support the same idea.
