Angry fans dump Eagles tickets on Craig's List

Eagles fans are putting their hard-earned tickets where their mouths are on Craig's List today. Word was barely out about Michael Vick signing a two-year deal with the Eagles when Philadelphia Craig's List started buzzing with angry fans seeking to rid themselves of tarnished tickets.
Writes one Eagles fan trying to unload season tickets: "The last thing my son & I want to see is Michael Vick in an Eagles jersey. We made up our mind to sell the tickets. Lower Level, 2 seats, side by side, 24 rows off the field. Great seats. $3000 cash gets the tickets. Any info feel free to ask, serious buyers only, I want the deal done fast."
Another disgruntled fan writes: If the Eagles are going to sell out, then so am I. 2 tickets to 7 regular season games in section 237 row 13 for $2000.00. I already donated the Tampa Bay tickets for a charity
Still another post urges fans to donate some of the proceeds from their ticket sales to charity.
Of course, Craig's list was awash with other posters looking to "help" fans who wanted to shed their tickets. Wrote one: "Vick haters look no further $100. I will take your tickets from you!!!!"

Let's see....premeditated torture and murder of animals for YEARS falls into the same category of accidently shooting yourself? After reading these comments, I am wonder what kind of people you "Eagles Fans" are......those without souls. Thank god there are people out there that have a conscience and are saying "Enough is Enough"!— I001902- I wonder if the those fans who sell their tickets will donate any of the money to the Humane Society.— Anthony77
- Now let me get this straight ... firing in a cold manner employee Dan Leone because he spoke his mind on Facebook and surely didn't give him a second chance and then hiring just because he has physical abilities on the football field, a convicted felon who performed numerous hideous acts on dogs. I understand that Michael Vick has paid his debt to society, but if this was about second chances what about Dan Leone's second chance? I sent a letter to the Eagles back in March about their firing of Dan Leone ... with no response back from them. Ignorance seems to be the norm from the Eagles. They seem to have no social conscience of their actions. Way to go Eagles ... great team spirit and community responsibility!!— gem860
- seriously...selling your tix for over face value with no PSL's isnt any sort of protest. quit the kneejerk reactions and all the OMG, i cant believe they signed him. the guy was a great player 2 yrs ago and i'm sure he'll be able to contribute now.— cheesesteak17
- H Dog is right. Vick has paid for his errors. As far as i know the law has no statute that any citizen should continue to suffer additional futrue consequences once they have completed the punishment determined appropriate by a judge or jury of his/her peers. In this case continued open judgment of Vick is much more than the freedom of expressing one's opinion. If you feel that strongly abuot animal rights, there are PLENTY of individuals who have paid little or no price for the same offense. They are esay to find on the Internet. If you feel that strongly, go picket their homes. Not interested? Well, that's interesting, isn't it?— onedayer

- MFPhils: For starters, 21% of NFL players have committed a serious crime. Chris Terry, OL, was charged with beating his wife in 2002. He still played after that. Ray Lewis, LB, was arrested for murder following a fight. Charges were dropped in exchange for a lesser charge but he also paid an undisclosed amount of money to the family of the victim. He still played.— H Dog 14

- YOU PEOPLE ARE SICK!!!! THE MAN SERVED HIS TIME.... GET OVER IT. HE DESERVES A SECOND CHANCE JUST LIKE THE NEXT PERSON. YES HE HURT SOME DOGS, WHAT ABOUT THE ONES OUT THERE DOING LESS TIME FOR HURTING CHILDREN!!!! I THINK THE EAGLES SHOULD BE COMMENDED FOR GIVING HIM A CHANCE.... GO EAGLES!!!!!!!!!— tsc9667
- As a former Philadelphian, I am horrified by this decision. Vick does not belong in the NFL anymore. He proved that he is a savage, and to play for the NFL is a privilege, not a right. Nothing good will come of this. Totally disgusted!!— rexxtigger
- Hey JonKap, Didn't Jesus suffer for our sins? Perhaps the Eagles organization is suffering for his. He's still a human being. We're all human. Unfortunately, human beings sin. BUT GOD FORGIVES ALL! (Yes, he even forgives you for your sins JonKap...)— Jamerock

- Doesn't even matter, cause if he actually helps the team go further, then all those that are trying to jump ship now will be jumping right back on the bandwagon....— tsc9667
- You bought a ticket to a football game. You have no personal relationship with any of the players. If the team wins, you should be content. If you don't like a player, don't have him over the house for dinner. Chase Utley is not a great player because he likes dogs. If he starts hitting 216 you will boo him and his wife out of town.— JFR
