He did his time. What more do people want.

People want to ensure that children do not look up to this thug as a role model.

I am absolutely SICK of people using children as an excuse.

Don’t let the kids watch pro ball.

Don’t treat sports stars as role models.

They provide entertainment.

And considering the amount of crimes done by sports stars, how can any rational person look upon sports stars as role models.

Absurd and idiotic.

Vick’s playing great ball, and enough moralizing about him.

He did his time.

The only way to do that is to persuade the children.

That's for parents to do, right?

And just how do you propose that?

Hell....I don't want people looking up to Obama either.

Neither do I think people should look up to Koby Bryant, Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga, Brad Pitt, et al.....

So...once again, how do YOU plan to ensure this?

But as a role model for what? For someone who paid his price, worked hard at rehabilitating himself, and has found fame and fortune again? There are some good lessons to be learned there, assuming what we see is what it is. What is key is for parents to ensure the children take the right message from this.
