I bet someone is going to feel like it’s ironic. I just got done on a thread saying that animals do have a right if a local or state government feels fits to prevent a owner of a animal like a dog from inflicting pain on it. However, what’s interesting is that a guy who severed actual prision time who to everyone’s most upmost obsevations has been repentent regarding his past transgressions, continues to be villified regarding that. So he’s not allowed to make money anymore because of a past sin? Do we really know if he’s tuely repentant? Of course not... however, it’s reasonable to concluded that Vick regardless of what he’s done is allowed the chance to prove he’s a better person.

There is the view that exists today that because one has 'done his time', we are suppose to forget what he has done the moment he leaves prison.

All it means is that he is a free man.

Nike is simply shoving it in our face, like we HAVE to forget what he did.

A criminal needs to show he has changed over time, not just when there is a financial incentive to do so.
