People need to get over the Vick thing. He did his time, he should have a second chance. No third chance should he screw up again.
I guess the time of sports figures as role models for the young is long gone.
Should Pete Rose be allowed into the Hall of Fame?
After all, both Rose and Vick were busted for gambling-related issues.
My major concern is that Vick was gambling illegally, and I do not see it as much of a stretch for him to gamble on football against the rules, too. His second chance is his freedom. Being trusted again by an NFL team is well over and above the “second chance” level, IMO.
YMMV.
There is a big difference between being given a second chance to work in an office or some other middle class job.....and killing dogs, going to jail for it, and then just walking right into another easy job playing for the NFL earning more than many of us will make our entire lives.
I am all for him having a second chance because even felons deserve that, but not in the NFL.
How would you feel if OJ played football still.
HE WAS EVEN FOUND NOT GUILTY but never played again (granted, he likely wouldn’t anyway due to age). Yeah, the jury was rigged etc...but he was technically found not guilty and could have played if somebody would have taken him.
Now, here we have a man who was CONVICTED OF A FELONY OF TORTURING AND MURDERING DOGS NO LESS....and he gets to play again.
That’s what makes no sense.
