I realize this is not a popular position, but Michael Vick was tried and convicted and sentenced for his crimes in a Court of Law, and served real time in an actual prison as a result.
Like it or not, at some point this man deserves credit for paying the penalty and from what I have seen of him, actually repented of his crimes. It would be refreshing to see that sentiment expressed on a site that professes to be filled with the Spirit of Christianity...
Agreed.
Imho, his presence in the NFL is a shame and an embarrassment. The NFL should not allow anyone with a criminal record to play.
People who never do the crime should deserve more credit than those who “pay the penalty” for their crime. We Christians will let God judge him, we’re just asking that it happen rather sooner than planned.
:p

I'm right there with ya...
Michael should be most worried about those in the NFL.
And there seems to be quite a number of em.
Dear Bean Counter,
Re our “Spirit of Christianity”: We let him live, which is more than he did for the animals helpless in his presence.
Re his “repentance”: He didn’t have any. Go back and look at that tape again.
There are some real heroes who could use your encouragement these days; please don’t waste your sympathy on Michael Vick.
Little people just cannot forgive even though Vick has paid his debt to society and is continuing to do dog related community service.

some people won’t be happy until he gets the death penalty

So now we’re supposed to give Brownie points to some man who got caught torturing helpless animals? He didn’t VOLUNTEER to go to prison, he was sentenced to it.
