But that's obviously and clearly not meant to let Vick off the hook (which I realize isn't what anyone is implying). What he did was seriously ****ed up. But (and I'm not saying I agree with it), sports players do all kinds of ****ed up things and get away with it because of who they are and the money/power they have. And a lot of times they're allowed back in their sport. Plenty of players of all kinds of sports have been allowed to continue even after doing ****ed up things.

You have to ask yourself though, where does one draw the line?

i agree... they get away with a ton of stupid **** they shouldn't be... but i think there would be enough of an out cry if Vick gets hired by any nfl team that it wouldn't last long...

i know i'd send some hate mail...

You're probably correct. But I guess my rhetorical question is, at what point should someone not be allowed back? DUI, drugs, addiction/rehab, killing animals, manslaughter, murder etc.? When you boil it all down, it's a matter of opinion. And whether we like it or not, it's the officials of said sport to make that decision.

a few have gotten away with "manslaughter"... i think they've called an accident

i think, considering that they are a serious role model for kids... they need to be a lot more strict

vick was a good football player, what he does outside of the nfl should not effect who he plays for. i know public image comes into play here but if he has served his time, what does it matter?

because he's a piece of **** and doesn't deserve to live?

what he does outside of work, should have an absolute affect on his career... if i go and shoot someone tomorrow, it should have an affect on my career, right?

if i went around killing dogs for money, i'd fully expect to serve my time in jail and NOT have a job when i get out if everyone in the country knew my name and knew what i did.

he's just a horrible, despicable piece of trash and doesn't deserve to be making millions of dollars a year to throw a ball around...

i wouldn't spit in his mouth to save his life if he was dying from dehydration...
