Answer 1

technically having 21 on their eyes is against the rules but Goodell gave them a pass, i remember when Pat Tillman died alot of players got fined for having #40...everything is about business everything has to be licensed by the nfl its just sad

Answer 2

Some questions should'nt be asked or answered. Michael Vick did something incredibly stupid and pretty much ruined his career. 4 young men did something incredibly vicious and wrong ruining their lives and the lives of Sean Taylor, his girlfriend and their daughter. To support anyone who did what Michael did is basically telling others that what he did wasn't important enough to be punished. That it's no big deal. What the Washington players and organization did is come together as a group to acknowledge the importance of Sean Taylor as both a player and person and to let others know that he was important and counted like all people should be.

Answer 3

Because Mike Vick is a sorry excuse for a man and anyone who supports what he did is too. The man commited a crime and should have to pay the price just like any other person,hes a thug.



Sean Taylor was murdered in cold blood and his friends and former teammates are honoring his memory, so thats why. Not fighting so some thug can get a lesser punishment than another man would, that should make you pissed .... I know it pissed me off.

Answer 4

Well lets see....Vick...in prison. Sean Taylor...MURDERED. Are you seriously that ignorant? They got fined for the "Free Mike Vick" shirts...not the same as "RIP Sean Taylor"



The Falcons are thugs supporting a fellow thug. The Redskins are friends supporting a friend. Big difference bud.



If you cannot see that the actions of these players are 100% ENTIRELY different, you have no business watching.

Answer 5

Taylor was the victim of a crime. Vick was caught committing a crime. If the Falcons players try to support Vick, basically they're endorsing criminal behavior. The NFL wants no part of that.

Answer 6

Well lets see....Vick...in prison. Sean Taylor...MURDERED. Are you seriously that ignorant? They got fined for the "Free Mike Vick" shirts...not the same as "RIP Sean Taylor"



I agree Vick a looser

Answer 7

the redskins each got a 21 sewed on to the seat of their pants, so it appears to be on their a_s_s, a 2 on one cheek, a 1 on the other. the NFL is allowing this. also a 21 wil be displayed on their inner thighs. with each post season win they will add more 21's.



as for the falcons, the white ownership wants no displays of black unity. no one may support their fallen brotha...

Answer 8

sean taylor got KILLED. micheal vick is in prison for a FEDERAL CRIME. i wonder what the difference is there...

Answer 9

The nfl cares about their image

Answer 10

Sean Taylor didn't kill defenseless animals??????

Answer 11

Jail for stupidity and death from murder or accident are vastly different scenerios.

Answer 12

Hmm...because one is a felon and one was killed

Answer 13

do you really not see the difference? stay the hell away from my dog.

Answer 14

because he died

Vick's in prison
