I agree. It’s reprehensible. There is no justification. I think his past actions were revolting and sickening. I understand and have a grasp of the charges that were leveled against him and what he pled to; not because I care, but because the case was a riveting example of how far someone can fall from grace. I also agree with the fact that the NFL needs to choose how they want the organization to be represented. That being said, I stand by my statement that once people pay for their crimes, and he did both confess and show remorse, that they have served their debt to society and paid for their sins. Should I then be judge and jury and exile him for life? If he is the best at his position (which I don’t think he is, but that’s another story), if someone wants him and is willing to hire him, then he deserves another chance at life. Anything less is as inhumane as what he did to those animals.

Fair enough. I understand Vick is writing or has written a book about his fall and his time in prison. It'll will be interest how contrite he is and where the proceeds of that book are going.
