talking about sports around the world and scores highlight michael vick.
The Steelers' decision to sign Michael Vick is already receiving some serious backlash in Pittsburgh.
Over 15,000 fans have put their name on a petition calling for the team to get rid of Vick, who signed a one-year deal with the Steelers on Tuesday.
From the petition:
Michael Vick is a convicted felon and no-class piece of crap. He is also a terrible QB which is why he has no team. Let's united as Steeler fans - as NFL fans - and stop him from playing on our team! Steelers fans united! Sign to keep Vick from ever wearing the coveted Steelers uniform!!
As of 4 p.m. ET on Wednesday, 15,463 people had signed the petition.
The fans are upset because of Vick's past: In 2007, the former No. 1 overall pick wassentenced to 23 months in a federal prison for running a dogfighting ring in Virginia. Vick served 21 months of the sentence in a Kansas prison before spending the final two months under home confinement.
