Sorry, bad behavior is bad behavior. The NFL Executive Committee is comprised—in part at least—of team executives. Ergo the NFL’s decision represent’s the collective team’s decision to reinstate the felon Vick.

There is no such thing as being “a little bit pregnant”—if you get my meaning.

I’m hoping the fans will ultimately boo the slime off the field and force the NFL to do the right thing. But I’m not optimistic it will happen. It’s all about money and celebrity—nothing more.

Oh, and exactly what kind of a role model is Vick to millions of kids—black, white or whatever—who idolize these people (whether or not the players want to accept the responsibility that goes with that notariety)?

There is no rationalizing the NFL’s decision to take the man back. This pap about wanting to do what’s right to help a “young man” redeem hiself is just merely self-serving BS. The NFL is counting on idiot fans coming out and paying to watch the animal abuser. And by the way, the step from animal abuse to human abuse is a very small one.

That kind of perversion may be suppressable up to a point, but it is never curable. Vick is conscienceless. No human being with a conscience would even contemplate doing what he did. Remember, this was not one time event. Persistently, over time, Vick killed animals simple because they were not good fighters.

You know, you need to reevaluate what is important in life my friend.

Your long written monologue about Michael Vick and allegation that I "need to reevaluate what is important" was in response to a statement by me that the NFL doesn't have a thug problem because the number of thugs in the NFL is less than that of the general population and teams generally police themselves very well. I fail to see how, in any way, what you are saying addresses anything in my post.
