This is how Vick makes it back to the NFL

[scutechute]

He paid his debt by the penal code, but I don't think anything he does would erase the moral debt he's incurred by glorifying dog fighting. Tons of kids that idolized Vick now will boldly state that dog fighting isn't that bad.

Exactly

He has turned a new leaf in life, I think he should have every chance to succeed again. He has had everything taken away from him

Perhaps IF he has turned a new leaf in life would be a better way of phrasing it. As far as i know, and i may be very wrong, the only apology he's made about slaughtering and torturing animals is that circus style press-coference in which he read a letter that contained the words "im sorry." I'm not sure if that qualifies as "turning over a new leaf in life" in my opinion. But that's why we're talking about it.


"Let's assume he will leave federal prison rehabilitated in every way."
I graduated a couple years ago with a Criminal Justice Administration degree....definitely a "BS" degree in many ways (bachelor of science...and).
Anyhow, I can tell you that I had several professors, and several text books flat out stating that the current goal of our prison systems has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH REHABILITATION. I believe there's evidence to support just the opposite as a matter of fact, people come out even worse than when they went in!
All im trying to say is that this quote - the first sentence in the paragraph of assumptions - is asking us to "suspend all disbelieve" and swallow a huge assumption in order to follow the rest of the author's logic about how Vick should be re-instated in the NFL.

Plus HE IS A KICK BUT QB

I agree that he was pretty good a few years ago. However, in my opion, he wasn't such a great FOOTBALL PLAYER that the fact that he's a dispicable human being should be overlooked.

Just my thoughts on the matter.
