BLUF - I am not impressed with the “life-long” suspension.
Wasn’t Mike Vick supposed to suspended indefinitely in 2007 after the dog fighting charges surfaced? Didn’t Vick serve 18 months in a Federal Prison? Wasn’t he reinstated and picked up by the Philadelphia Eagles in 2009?
Guess “life-long” and “indefinite” mean different things for you and me and football stars.
Nobody said indefinitely is life time. There’s a separate life time ban. Indefinite suspension means just what the word means according to the dictionary: without fixed or specified limit, not clearly defined. In practical terms it means “we’ll talk about this later”, for Vick they revisited it after he got out of jail.
