Michael Vick to be reinstated!!!

I think he should get a second chance. Notice I didn't say I think he deserves one. Lots of teams will not take a chance on him. He will be instant bad publicity. If he can play like he once did though, he will get a real chance somewhere. I'm not too worried about whether his punishment to this point was sufficient. If he screws up again the media and the public will crucify him.

Well he is a really good football player. He is not such a great human being, but he still deserves to make a living if he has paid for his crimes. I don't like what he did. It makes me sick and it makes me angry. But he still has a right to earn a living, and many teams would be happy to have him on their team. Should he be punished further for what he did? Perhaps, but according to the courts he has paid his dues and is free to go on with his life.

Vick has paid his debt and deserves to have the opportunity to play again. I think the role model thing is overblown in many cases and parents have to teach their children that these guys are human and make mistakes too. Leonard Little killed someone while driving drunk and got 8 games. Vick has already missed two seasons and now will likely miss part of a third. If some team is willing to take a chance on him, then let him play - he has been punished enough for what he did.

I know, I know Vick is this terrific player, but I think he is getting off way to easy. And teams already want him really bad, because he can help them win. I just think that sports figures have always been role models, and he is a bad one. So, I think he has gotten off to easy with all of this. And as I write this, please understand, I am a huge football fanatic.

This is going to sound harsh but I think any professional athlete that has been convicted of a crime should be banned from the sport forever. They don't deserve to have more fame or the money that comes with it. But unfortunately, the big whigs won't listen to lttle old me! good question, Steph
