I find prison conversions to be highly unconvincing. Vick would have tearfully proclaimed with utmost conviction that he was a giant purple carrot from Mars if that is what it took to get his career back. The jury is still out on his "conversion."
As for the NFL, the fact that Vick is back on the gridiron in ANY capacity shows that they have no standards whatsoever. It's bad enough that they tolerate all the drug shenanigans and womanizing. Just what would you have to do to get banned for life? Kill somebody?
Oh yeah, Ray Lewis. Doh! Like I said, no standards.

Having served as a prison chaplain for five years I can understand your concerns. That said, people do come to faith in Christ in prison and for many it is genuine. One test of how genuine is the fruit evidenced in their lives after they have believed in Christ. Mr. Vick has clearly demonstrated the fruit of a changed life since coming to Christ. If God in Christ has forgiven Mr. Vick and made him a NEW man in Christ, that is all that counts.
Mr. Vick has every right to earn a living doing what he does best.

Yep, let’s see how Vick behaves when he has nothing to lose.
