Get Off Vick's Dick

It absolutely infuriates me that some people still are hung up with punishing former Atlanta Falcons QB Michael Vick. My defense for him is quite short, but definitely to the point. To begin with, there isn't a bigger dog lover than me. And what he did was unacceptable, unforgivable, and just flat out ignorant. However, they are dogs. The guy not only spent two years in prison, away from the game in the prime of his career. Who knows if hell have his timing and endurance now? He lost his contract, his money, his endorsements, everything. Sadly, in my opinion he deserved most of it. Then I see people talking about suspending him further, or protesting whatever team he signs with. Its outrageous.

Lets compare with these other outlaws in sports. Starting with the point of the ridiculous trend of these rich athletes driving while drunk. Believe me I'm not throwing stones, since I drove drunk a few times in my past. But it was usually because I had no choice. These guys get paid more than enough to hire drivers. So in my eyes there is no excuse. Donte Stallworth killed a HUMAN, while driving drunk and had to do twenty four DAYS. Are you kidding? Jim Leyritz killed a person, and is still out and about to slap his wife around. Guys like Pacman Jones. I don't even want to get started on him. Teams still consider signing him, and I think he is a way bigger detriment to any team than Michael Vick. There are countless other guys who are in drugs, domestic violence, rape, guns and D.W.I. who are way more deserving of this harassment. The guy paid for his crime dearly. So people need to let it go, and allow him to salvage his career because he is insanely talented. Or was. If he fucks up again, then hes an idiot and doesn't need to be in the league. However, players with far more damaging crimes have been given second and third and fourth chances. Crimes that kill people or scar lives. I think we could let dogfighting go since we seem to give drunken murder a pass.
