The Seattle Seahawks are a valued and inspirational unifying aspect of the city of Seattle and the entire Northwest. People from all walks of life and from all socioeconomic classes celebrate and enjoy this exuberant and hard-working team.

The possible inclusion of Michael Vick, a convicted animal-abuser, someone with a history of being involved in the brutal killing of dogs, is deeply antithetical to the ethos of the Northwest with its value for nature and life. Michael Vick has no place on this team. He should never be allowed to be a Seahawk. His signing would damage the reputation of the Seahawks as well as dampen or end many fans' enthusiasm for the team.
