Deadspin - When ESPN and EA Sports announced that they would team up to let fans select the Madden 2012 cover boy, we predicted that the angry loud people would quickly sound off
about the selections. The pool is now down to 16 selections, and the
shit-stirring has begun: in a totally unoriginal outcome, the loud angry
people are PETA and the selection under fire is Philadelphia's Michael
Vick.
Peter Moore, President of EA Sports, says that PETA and independent animal-rights activists have written letters to the company
urging them to remove Vick from the bracket. Moore has responded with a
fairly emphatic no: "We believe that Michael Vick, as the runner-up in
MVP for the league and the comeback player of the year, deserved his
slot," he told CNBC at the World Congress of Sports on Wednesday. "I
personally believe, and this is personal commentary right now, that
Michael served his time. He's had a tremendous season."
Honestly, what does PETA do other than protest. You would think they would be looking for people abusing animals right now, instead of wasting time stalking someone that has already paid his price. It's a fucking football video game cover, it has nothing to do with your damn animals. If you don't believe in second chances and people changing then go fuck yourself. Get over it.
