Mike Vick

Why, oh why, are people so hung up on Mike Vick returning to the NFL? What did he do that is so wrong? And spare me this pity-party on how he killed a bunch of dogs. I've heard that all before. Instead, what I'm wanting to know is why his transgressions are suddenly so horrible that we need to ban him from the NFL suddenly. What about those players that own snakes? When they feed a snake a mouse, do we ban them? What about those players who beat their wives? Do we ban them? Are we really judging one life, that of a dog, as more valuable than another animal? Aren't dogs pets anyways? Listen, what Vick did was horrible. It was a really, really bad thing to do. But this guy's been put in jail, he's paid his debt to society, and now it's time to give him his second chance. Period. I say we let Vick come back, continue to be a joke at the QB position (he's what, a 50% career passer?), and move along in 3 years when he's finally cut for good because he's not actually that great. What's so wrong with that?
