He got caught, went to jail, and now has to pretend to be sorry so that he can continue playing in the NFL and gain back fans.

How much money will Eagles quarterback Michael Vick actually keep from any new contract after he pays off his bankruptcy creditors? Robert M.
Lester Munson of ESPN.com recently wrote a lengthy article regarding the situation. Vick’s financial affairs fall under the jurisdiction of a 112-page “reorganization plan,” and he initially owed his creditors a total debt in the range of $20 million.
Vick creditors receive a piece of his total annual earnings; for the range $2.5 million through $10 million, the creditors get 30 percent. (Munson writes that “nearly two-thirds of every dollar [Vick] earns goes to creditors and to taxes.” At first blush, the information is stunning. The words “to taxes” make it much more understandable, since taxes cover roughly one third of his gross pay.)
As Munson also points out, the bankruptcy trustee is trying to recover from Vick’s family and friends $5 million that he distributed once his financial affairs began to crumble. Though the money isn’t being sought from Vick, family members ultimately forced to pay back money that Vick gave them could look to Vick for money to replace the money that they ultimately had to give to the bankruptcy trustee.
Bottom line? Vick’s success on the field is good news for Vick — and it’s good news for the entities to which he owes money, including the Atlanta Falcons.

If he wasn't convicted of those crimes why on earth would anyone who doesn't support Vick feel the same way about Ben?If he wasn't convicted, the law says he didn't need to do time and anyone who says Vick "did his time" would be a hypocrite if they held Ben to the same standard because they law said he didn't do it. The grasping at straws just to defend a dog murderer is disturbing.
The same can be said of Kobe Bryant. He was accused of rape, lost endorsements and a lot of fans, but he got his act together. He is still playing and winning championships. You don't get a chance to make the decision for these guys. i don't care if you hate their guts. All three are still playing the game of sports and still have fans. I'm a Laker fan and love watching Kobe Bryant play. Disgusting right?
Baltimore Ravens Ray Lewis: Following a Super Bowl XXXIV party in Atlanta on January 31, 2000, a fight broke out between Lewis and another group of people, resulting in the stabbing deaths of Jacinth Baker and Richard Lollar. Eleven days after Lewis and two companions, Reginald Oakley and Joseph Sweeting, were questioned by Atlanta police, the three were indicted on murder and aggravated assault charges. The white suit Lewis was wearing the night of the killings has never been found. Prosecutors alleged that the bloodstained suit was dumped in a garbage bin outside a fast food restaurant.[25] Ray Lewis claimed that the prosecution knew he was not involved in the murder but chose to go ahead with the case anyway, saying "You don't care if I'm guilty or not. You gonna make sure I go to jail for life."[26] Lewis' attorney arranged for the murder charges against Lewis to be dropped in exchange for his testimony against Oakley and Sweeting, and a guilty plea to a misdemeanor charge of obstruction of justice.[11] Lewis admitted that he gave a misleading statement to police on the morning after the killings. He was sentenced to one year of probation and was fined US$250,000 by the NFL, which was believed to be the highest fine levied against an NFL player for an infraction not involving substance abuse.[27] Oakley and Sweeting were acquitted of the charges in June 2000.[28] No other suspects have ever been arrested for the crime. The following year, Lewis was named Super Bowl XXXV MVP. However, the signature phrase "I'm going to Disney World!" was given instead by quarterback Trent Dilfer. On April 29, 2004, Lewis reached a settlement with four-year-old India Lollar, born months after the death of her father Richard, preempting a scheduled civil proceeding. Lewis also reached an undisclosed settlement with Baker's family.[28]
