Vick served his time. Part of the American system of justice is that you get to move on in your life after you’ve served your time. That includes getting jobs and earning money. That’s not just something for famous people, non-famous people get to have jobs after they get out of prison too. I don’t think America has “accepted” the behavior, we’ve simply moved on, his arrest was 3 years ago, he’s playing well now. Humans tend to be about now, not 3 years ago, it’s a survival instinct thing.
And his play shows a lot of changes in him off the field. He’s able to read defenses now, which means he’s actually studying film, something he never did before. I don’t know what other changes he’s gone through, but at least as a player he’s not the same Vick he was 3 years ago.
When Michael Vick hobbled off the field clutching his shoulder, unable to perform in a losing effort to the Redskins in their first match... in Michael Vick’s world, Andy Reid would have taken Vick out back, strung him up by his leash and put a bullet in his head.
Michael Vick got a second chance. His dog’s didn’t. Enjoy your hero.
