There's nothing wrong with Vick being back in the NFL. I don't condone at all what he did, but I do think there are plenty of opportunities for him to still make a positive impact out of this mess. We will never know if he is truly remorseful for some pretty gross shit, but the fact remains that he has a chance to prove that he is.
I also understand that if I were convicted of felony dogfighting charges, I would never be allowed back to my job, no matter how good I was at it. It seems silly that these athletes who are paid tons of money (which is
there.....a whooooole 'nother convo) keep on screwing up and making dumb, dumb mistakes.
I guess I'm frustrated at the
level of outrage that came, weird as that sounds. I absolutely expected a lot of public destruction so to speak against Vick, but it hit me in a strange way. Not only are there tons of other dogifghting rings, which I rarely even heard considered, but there are so many terrible problems for other humans in this country but these groups were centered on just animals, and it seemed for the wrong reasons.
I don't have anything against what PETA and similar groups want to acheive, I'm a big animal lover myself, even before I was owner to 5 chickens (2 of which are HUGE now
...). But like I said I felt it was for the wrong reasons. I felt that they were more interested in destroying a massive public figure then getting to the actual root of the problem.
Let him play, I say.
