Michael Vick is back in the NFL. All I can say is it's about time. I know there are people who are upset and furious and to them I say hush. Yes, I know all about what Vick did and everything and I am a dog lover but Vick did his time. Vick did 2 years in prison lost everything he ever had and there are people who feel he should not go back into the NFL. They feel Vick should be working like regular people and never get a second chance. Now everybody has done something that they wish they had a second chance. Now not everyone was cruel to animals. Maybe you cheated, maybe you stole, maybe you did drugs, killed someone, etc. I bet you wished you had a second chance and what if someone said no, you are done get out. You would feel that was unfair and would try everything to get your life back together. Michael Vick deserves nothing less and to those still harping on the dog crime you need to get your act together. Everybody that is on, a dare I say it, a crusade against Vick are just bandwagon folk and do not read anything else going on.
Allow me to introduce you to a player you may have heard of or not or dismissed it, Dante Stallworth. Who is he, well he is a football player for the Cleveland Browns. He has been bounced around teams so a little under the radar. Well on March 14th, of 2009 Stallworth struck and killed a man. Stallworth was legally drunk when police arrived. He also served 24 of a 30 day sentence. The commissioner of the NFL suspended him for one year and will be reinstated after the Super Bowl of this year. Stallworth really only did 24 days but the NFL made him stay out for a year. So I ask you this which is the worse crime. According to everyone its the dog because nobody is outrage about Stallworth killing a human being.
I think everyone is upset at Vick one because he is a high profile athlete and Stallworth was not as in the spotlight. My other theory is the fact that people feel sorry for the dog than the human because dogs can't speak or express so they need human to take care of them. I hope that is what it is. I am still really upset at people thinking he does not deserve anything because he only gets 1 chance and that's it. Now I am not saying I condoned anything Vick did but I feel he deserve another chance like everyone else in the world. Before you go judging Vick and his crimes look back on your life and he without sin well you know the rest.
