Michael Vick Isn’t Gay
image A link to this story alleging that Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick has declared himself gay has been spreading around via email. Of course, it isn't true. After all, it's a Global Associated News story (Global Associated News being a website that allows you to create your own fake news stories). But it looks real enough to have been convincing quite a few people.
Outsports.com reports that they've been receiving many inquiries about it.

Update (May 7, 2004): As this rumor has continued to spread via the internet, Michael Vick felt compelled to call into a radio show in an effort to end the gossip.

I don't think that it is fair to start a rumor that is very untrue. For me not to know Michael Vick as well as alot of folks, I still don't believe he's gay. So what if you can't stand him cause you know he's the best quarterback in the NFL. Im only 17 and can't wait till i turn 18 so i can meet him. If any haters really wanna know how i feel, please feel free to email me at to the owner of this website if you can will you please contact Michael Vick for me. Thanks for your time

On Behalf og the Lady that has brought shame to Michael Vick, you need to quit how do anybody know that you didn't sleep with anybody else. I mean look how long it was before you realized that you had Genital Herpes. Every Since 2003. You waited until the man signed for the 130 million dollars then all of a sudden you wanna sue the the man. Let the man live his life. It's bad enough they put out the man was gay. And found out that that was in fact a lie. I believe that he told you he didn't want you and you plotted some little scheme to scandalize the man name. What you need to do is relive yo past and find out who gave you that little nasty ass disease cause i know that it wasn't Michael Vick. Thank you very much.

I dont appreciate Elliot stating that Vick gave her genital herpes. I dated Vick in 2002-2003 and I get checked every year and not one time has my pap ever come back with an STD. I cannot believe that you would put this shame on such a good person. He is a little hoe, but I know Vick and I know he is the type of person that would have told someone if he had something. The guy is right you waited until he signed that contract and than decided to sue. I know the Doctors do say that symptoms dont show up right away but come on now it has been close to 3 years. Get for real. You just want his money. Vick if you do read this you should know who this is speaking on your behalf. I told you that as long as you mess around on me that there is going to be someone out there that will get you for your money because I was not one of those females. Much love

Inquiring minds would like to know "Does Mike Vick know SUPERHEAD?". She has been all around the WORLD.

reguardless of if he gave her herpes or not---he got it from somewhere and so did the female who gave it to him. should he sue her and she sue him? i think it's a fact of life and it was a risk she took to let him rub on her with no rubber and she liked it then--until like Red said he didn't want her no more and he signed the deal and she wants them dollars. can everyone who has ever gotten herpes sue the one who gave it to them?????????

I mean you have to understand the situation in a whole nother aspect. Niether Sonya or Michael are the blame for this INDIVIDUALLY. I think that it was just a mistake that the both of them made. And now they are both paying for it. He knew he had herpes before he slept with her. And she knew she was having unprotected sex with him too. So it's both of thier falts. And not just one person. And Michael Vick isn't gay. He acts too straight.

I really feel that you have to be so careful. I really do not think she wanted the money. She was just inlove with him. I am an x of an NFL player. And they our out there man!!! I mean crazy on a totally diffrent page that just an ordinary man who cheats. So I just feel that we as woman have to protect ourselfs. But sometimes we get weak and that is not good. We need to start going off of action. Not words until we see that these men our serious than we take our test show each other and then move on. But men our weak because you can date them and the first thing they try to do and I men try is to go in the raw. That is sick I am like no baby!!! If they are trying to do that with you that is how they roll. Big red flagggggggg. To all you women be carefullllll.

Mickael Vick I know you didn't give that girl (bitch) herpes. I love you to much to hear people talk about you like that. When people say that I just tell them to get off your nuts. When they or people say that they be like its not my fault that he got it. So don't pay any off them haters no mind. Love U Alway

Well, Whether or not Michael Vick is Homo-sexual, We still Play the Atlanta Falcons October 29th, and whatever Vick is, Straight, or whatever. We're still going to beat the Atlanta Falcons. I mean jesus. Did you see them play the Saints? And we kill The Saints. So. All you Atlana fans remember the Cincinnati Bengals.

Michael Vick is definately gay. Peyton Manning is so much better and is not gay. Gay people can't be good football players. That is why Vick isn't any good. Because he is gay.

First of all to who ever made that comment about vick being gay and that payton manning is better needs to get off of vicks d#$k! Thats why the colts got beat by dallas you dump f*&K! Now that I got that off my chest. One thing that I know to every lie there is some truth. and All I can say is that this suituation is so messed up for all involved. Personally I think vick pound for pound is the best QB oin the NFL. He just doesn't have a good team around him. If it is a lie about him having herpes then it just shows how bad people sometimes want what you got and just how far they will go to get it. If I had oa million dollars I would bet it all that vick is not gay. If I had a million to bet if he has herpes and gave it to sonya, I keep my money in the bank because think about it, why did he settle out of court. I wouldn't have given that b@tch nothing if she was lieing. This should be a lesson though everybody be careful!

So what if he is gay? Does that make any difference in the way he plays? I am straight, but I thought we were passed all that by now, are we not in the year 2006?
