Vick had been planning to sign his autobiography,Finally Free, at bookstores in Atlanta and Philadelphia, but his publisher said all of his appearances were canceled out of concerns for safety because Vick was the target of violent threats.
“While we stand by Michael Vick’s right to free speech and the retailers’ right to free commerce, we cannot knowingly put anyone in harm’s way, and therefore we must announce the cancellation of Mr. Vick’s book-signing appearances,” Byron Williamson, president of Worthy Publishing, told PhillyMag.com. “We’ve been assured these threats of violence, which have been reported to the police, are being taken very seriously by local authorities.”

The people who made threats are dead wrong, but Vick sure has chutzpah. Writing a book! You'd think he was some kind of hero or role model instead of a person convicted of a particularly ugly crime. No one will ever convince me that he's really sorry for his actions.
I have no problem with it!
That little bit of time was no punishment.
Politicians STEAL billions of dollars from the American people and this guy does time, gets smeared for fighting dogs?
You people are NUTS.
9:29 At least he served time for it. More than I can say for the people who do it right here in SBY.
Vick was/is the poster child for leaving your past behind, once you turn pro/get famous. It's harder for an urban youth to give up on his family and friends, when they all grab your pockets.
8:36 right there is many more devastating crimes committed by our crooked Politicians starting with our "Gangster In Chief"
