For Vick fans, it brought some sort of personal validation that Vick 2.0 scored his first TDs against the Falcons. For Vick himself, he showed on some level that he can still compete in the NFL (albeit against a reeling, injury-decimated team with one of the league's worst defenses).Most important for Falcons fans, however, was the fact that regardless of who was doing the Eagles ' scoring, the loss drove home the sorry state to which their team has fallen this season.As a life-long Falcon fan who was devastated to watch Vick's career unravel the way it did, and who rooted for him to turn his life around; the obnoxiousness and ignorance of the Vick fans' alarming, unfounded and vicious Falcon-hating makes me sick.Why can't you just be happy for the man and leave it at thatSupport of Vick need not be synonymous with contempt for the Falcons.
