I have no idea what the NFL’s crime rate being lower than the general population has to anything—even assuming it is an accurate statistic. I’m absolutely certain that a siginicant percent of crime perpetrated by NFL players hidden by out-of-court settlements that the public never hears about.

That being said, the NFL has no responsibility for rehiring a felon—none, nada and zip. The only rational reason for rehiring a felon is money—the NFL is counting on people’s natural curiousity to bring them to the stadium to see what an animal abuser looks like.

Meanwhile, you conveniently ignore all the other salient points I made about retreading a convicted felon.

Nice try. But you apparently believe that along with celebrity status comes a “get out of jail free” card.

Again, stop knocking down strawmen and actually listen what people have to say. I haven't even divulged my opinion on the reinstatement of Vick. Read my posts and show me where I even mention Vick, other than listing 3 teams that might hire the guy. You won't find anything.

If you actually read my posts, you would see that what it has to do with is rebutting the point that the NFL is a "thug" league. It is not. The arrest rate is relatively low.

The statistic involves arrests. So any case that settles out of court would be counted.
