I can't talk about this anymore because it's not penetrating with you at all. You can have your opinions but if you think that he shouldn't play football go do some research on the hundreds of other athletes convicted of crimes (over the years) against humans who never had to even petition to come back to their respective leagues/teams. That's not an excuse or whatever you referred to it as before; you're singling out Vick because you don't even know what else goes on because you haven't even bothered to find out. No one even expected him to play again (they didn't think Goddell would let him back or that a team would sign him), or be a starting quarterback. He's taking full opportunity of the position he's been given and just because he made one terrible error in life doesn't mean he doesn't deserve that right. He has the right as does every other person in this country, celebrity/rich or not.

Why do people with your mindset always resort to bringing up other douchebag atheletes who get a free pass?  We are not talking about them are we?  Make a topic about them and I will speak my opinions about them.  You act like it's JUST Vick I have issues with.  This topic IS ABOUT VICK, not anyone else.  Good God.
Because it's an example of how ill informed you are about other people who have committed crimes yet you have no problem with them playing. It's hypocritical to say the very least. Your limited knowledge of other crimes committed coupled with your argument of why Vick shouldn't play basically negates everything you've said.

It also shows how just because people knew MV, he gets all the flack. But no one cares that Donte Stallworth killed a man, got a month in jail and he was suspended for a year but now plays like nothing ever happened. That's a human being he killed. A person with a family and no one even talks about it. It's completely relevant to this topic because people continue to alienate Vick when he not the only person in the NFL (or any league) that has been convicted of a terrible crime.
