I’ll watch this show when it comes on. I’ll watch it once. WHY? So I can write down the name of every advertiser and start a petition to BOYCOTT every one of them.

Then I’ll start a petition to boycott BET as well. This is SHAMEFUL. Until now I’ve appreciated BET and feel much of it’s programming is a good example for my kids. I want my kids raised with pride and a sense of personal responsibility. BET has let down every sports figure that takes their position as role models for our race, and our children, seriously.

As for Vick… we ALREADY understand Vick. Someone that does what he did is a sociopath. But who cares about that as long as they can money off him? I canceled my season tickets to the Eagles and if this show goes forward I’m canceling my cable too. I will not have my children exposed to this trash, instead I’m going to use it to show my boys how REAL men behave… by getting involved in their community and standing up for what is right. My 14 year old is, right now, writing his draft of the petition to boycott BET and their sponsors.

BET should apologize for even entertaining the idea of this show. Convicted is right… Shame on you BET.

Many an animal lover has been forced to explore her/hisconscience in the wake of Michael Vick’s release from jail and his comeback to the world of sports and entertainment. I suspect many households have witnessed arguments over Michael Vicks’ good fortune in resuming his multi-million dollar career. I recognize that Vick paid his debt to society, per our legal system, and like other convicts, he is entitled to make a living. But I do not understand nor do I agree with the attitude of those who aim to capitalize on his celebrity as a result of his heinous torture of animals and criminal activity that destroyed their lives. I understand why Vick is taking advantage of these “opportunities” to enhance his status and rake in the bucks. What I don’t understand is why anyone would purport that he is a role model because he was caught torturing animals and sent to jail. What has he done post-incarceration to warrant this streak of fame? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. A role model? A celebrity worth following? Seems to me Vick has learned some very valuable lessons about what happens when you abuse animals. A brief stint in jail, and he’s set for life. Nice.

theee man did his time for his crime— let him live!!— “he who is without sin throw the first stone “okay!- danggggg!!

How dare you? BET has sunk to a new low, and hopefully will pay the price. Michael Vick should have rotted in jail.

COME ON!!!!!!! First the Eagles then Nike and now BET…What is wrong with people today. How can anyone support this man?? There are so many talented and deserving people out there. I think it’s horrible that BET would give this criminal another reward for his horrible behavior. I have just added BET to my ongoing boycott of Vick supporters. Maybe your executives don’t care about that —but maybe someday they will.

Its official. Now we can decide who is the biggest whore: The NFL, Philadelphia Eagles, BET or ….

All I need to say is: A sad day for BET, IMO.

And, for those that say God does the judging…right you are…but, we were given the gift of choice & the inherent knowledge of wrong & right. We choose to do right, or we choose to do wrong. We also can choose to allow evil into our hearts.

God also said…Obey man’s law, so long as they don’t break Mine.

We were put on this earth to be the shepherds/caretakers of God’s creature’s…not to abuse them.

Unless all monies Michael Vick receives from this series is donated to animal charities, you might as well kiss any ratings you have good-bye. Sick, sick, sick!
Who in the world wants to watch him “acting” as if he’s remorseful for what he’s done. He’s only sorry he got caught.
He’s nowhere near done paying back for his crime.

Disgusting, so many role models to choose from and BET picks from the bottom of the barrel. He should donate 100% of the proceeds to the Humane Society. I agree with those who want to Boycott BET, the Sponsors and go after your cable providers to drop BET from the line up.

And for those who say he did his time for the crime. Sure, but should he be rewarded. Is he really a good role model or remorseful for what he did. Na, he just got caught.

I hope BET rethinks this…

I am glad that Michael Vick is coming to BET. You people who are criticizing should chill out. We all have sinned and it is time to forgive and forget. For those of you who want to boycott the advertisers of the show you should boycott some of the trash that BET airs. And Michael Vick is still a role model. He is a human. He is showing that when you make mistakes you dust yourself off, make amends, and keep living.

I already stopped watching BET as soon as I heard that they were even considering putting that scum on tv, bad enough that he’s on the tv when the sucky scum like eagles play. He deserves NOTHING!!! Like someone said before, find a rock and live under it, all yall who like him.

I recently visited Best Friends Animal Society in Utah where many of the Vick dogs are not being taken care of. Until Michael Vick contributes to the upkeep of these dogs I fail to believe he is remorseful. The only regret he has is being caught. I will boycott any advertiser for this show as well as any sponsors for the Philadelphia Eagles.

I am OUTRAGED that BET would even CONSIDER being a part of this! STOP STOP STOP THIS PRODUCTION NOW! SHAME ON YOU. SHAME SHAME SHAME…….

DON’T ALL THESE COMMENTS MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU BET?? YOU BETTER THINK LONG AND HARD ABOUT THIS. I’M IN ABSOLUTE SHOCK.

I’m completely disgusted by this news. Isn’t it enough that they already allowed this ignorant monster back in the NFL? I for one would never even consider watching BET again after hearing this. Is this the rolemodel you want representing the network? Even googling Michael Vick makes me sick I would rather see him rot in jail then have to ever see his face on tv.

Ike I just got to say I admire you!!! your amazing that you have taught your children that being independent thinkers doesnt always win you popularity, we all have to stand up for what we beleive is right and moral… AND JESSICA? SERIOUSLY? ARGH

I agree with peta…I think his only regret was getting caught. I hope all of his earnings from this reality show go to help animals. I plan on discouraging all of my clients from watching BET if this Michael Vick show goes through…..

Are you serious!? I couldn’t believe it when I heard that BET was doing a show with Michael Vick. I had to look it up here to see that it was true because I couldn’t wrap my brain around the fact that anyone would do something so completely ridiculous. I’m sure Michael has his own personal demons or “reasons” for his actions, but anyone with a heart or conscience could never partake in the activities that he was involved in. Dog fighting is a cruel, heartless, dark abomination. I would like to think that he is working on himself and has remorse, but regardless of that, he in NO way should be showcased. I don’t even understand why he is allowed back in to the NFL and is not serving time. I will never watch this show or BET again and I will encourage everyone I know to do the same. I think it’s in very poor taste and reflects terribly on BET. What are they thinking?

Direct quote from another article on this site:

“Michael Vick’s story is about second chances and we are excited to have the opportunity to tell his complete story,” said Loretha Jones, President, Original Programming, BET Networks. “What happened to Michael is endemic of what is happening to young Black men today.”

So there you have it. Top BET brass ACTUALLY BELIEVES Mike is a “victim”– not a Victimizer…

BET. It’s not like there is ANY doubt about Vick’s willful involvement. To say his story is “endemic” of what is happening to young Black men today is a total slap in the face.

en-dem-ic -adjective

1.natural to or characteristic of a specific people or place; native; indigenous

SO JUST WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY HERE, LORETHA???

I am a big Mike Vick fans i am glad to see him get his stuff together lol I see when you protest it dont work you make him more money so keep up the good work
