I suspect this Vick deal has been polled and focus-grouped already and they found that it will sell. The NFL would never have let him back in otherwise.

I find this outrage over Vick absolutely hilarious!

The NFL allows wife-beaters, gang-bangers, drug-pushers, etc back on the field, but somehow, because Vick abused some animals, his return is controversial.

C'mon people! Beating and abusing animals is wrong and criminal when done for fun, but how about some outrage for the players that beat their wives/girlfriends/mistresses?!

Exactly. What crime does someone have to commit in order to not be an NFL player?

There's a reason why the NFL has become known as the "National Felons League." It is because people like to watch games played by criminals, and the NFL functions accordingly.

I agree with you.

It reminds me of two trials that happened close to each other a few years ago. A 16 year-old girl murdered a 12 year-old girl and was given 18 months probation. A 17 year-old boy killed a puppy and was given 2 years in the slammer.

Puppies over people!
