I think Vick has paid his debt to society. He served his term, he did what was asked of him. He has lost millions because of his actions. Sorry, but I don’t believe dog fighting should warrant a life long sentence. He deserves an opportunity to get his life back and to earn a living. Seriously, people make mistakes, they pay the price for those mistakes. Once that price is paid, it is time for everyone to move on.
Then let him make a living doing something that doesn't require me to either partially subsidies through tax incentives or require me to purchase products that advertising are selling.
For too long, consumers have looked past the culture or crime that has permeated our professional sports industry, but especially football, baseball and basketball. This quiet acceptance of the broodish, criminal and uncivil behavior of the sporting industries stars has had a toxic, corrosive effect on our society in general, and our young impressionable males in particulary.
Vick paid his debt to society from a legal perspective, but that doesn't mean I should want to pay the $400 bucks to take my wife and kids to go seem him compete in a sport for which he is being compensated tens of millions of dollars.
Playing in the NFL is a privilege, not a ‘right’. Vick’s a sociapath. Period.
