You (editorially speaking) can say Vick was rehabilitated. I doubt that.
I just watched this documentary on Netflix and it is excellent.
SYNOPSES OF THE CHAMPIONS
LOGLINE
All odds were stacked against the pit bulls rescued from NFL star quarterback Michael Vick’s notorious dogfighting ring. Forced to fight for their lives, they were considered so dangerous both PETA and the Humane Society of the United States wanted them euthanized. But no one could have predicted how the dogs would change the lives of those who risked everything to save them.
ONE PARAGRAPH SYNOPSIS
The Champions is an inspirational story about the pit bulls rescued from the brutal fighting ring of former Atlanta Falcon’s star quarterback Michael Vick, and those who risked it all to save them, despite pressure from PETA and The Humane Society of the United States to euthanize the dogs. It is a story of second-chances, redemption and hope. This uplifting documentary takes us on a journey about much more than just dogs—about prejudice, being misunderstood, the power of resilience, and the significance of the relationship we as humans have with animals.

He’s the same brutal sociopath he always was.
vick should never been allowed inside a stadium again let alone play in one...
Dog fighting has been around for centuries.
No amount of rehab will pay for what that evil scum did.
I’d rather put Vick in the pit and let the dogs watch him fight to the death.
Vick should have been executed
Pittsburghers Against Michael Vick
Dog fighters belong in prison, not on pedestals. We believe that character matters. Michael Vick has no place on the Steelers or anywhere in the NFL.
Long Description
We believe that animal abusers should never be in a position that garners the admiration of our youth. We are committed to educating the public about what truly happened at Bad Newz Kennels and about the horrors of dog fighting. Michael Vick was a hands-on, active participant in the murder of under-performing dogs.
We advocate for stronger laws to combat animal cruelty and dog fighting. We want the public to know that dog fighting is everywhere; it’s in our own backyards. People need to know what to look for and what to do if dog fighting is suspected.
We believe that it requires many hands to win the war against animal cruelty and dog fighting. Organizations large and small as well as unaffiliated individuals must come together under a common goal if we are to succeed.
Mission
It is our mission to end dog fighting through education, legislation, and advocacy. We seek to make the facts of Michael Vick’s case known. We want to see him removed from the Steelers roster and the NFL as a whole.

Report: Michael Vick threw untrained family pets into dogfighting ring
100%!!! damn straight...
That website needs an editor. The plural form of Victim is Victims, not Victim’s.
Amen.
He is only sorry he got caught and nearly lost his big ass income.
Hear, hear!
I feel sorry for the fans of teams who signed this loser. I’d never be a fan of a team that signed dog-killer Vick after his conviction.
And others just like him still steal dogs from yards and use them to train their dogs.
One of Obeyme’s Sons just got nailed over the river in WV.
Huge operation, scores of dogs.
[expletives deleted] soulless evil bastards.
