There’s no reason why Michael Vick should not be reinstated to play in the NFL. Michael Vick completed his prison term. He’s re-entered society. He’s paid whatever debt he owes to society. And he should be allowed to be reinstated. He had amazing talent before his prison term. Whether he still has the gift remains to be seen. He deserves the opportunity to show whether or not his skills remain.
I don’t see how the NFL can deny Vick reinstatement without being hypocritical and judgmental. Of course, they’ve been both. What does it say about the NFL to deny him a second chance? It says your debt is not paid by your prison term if your job is professional football. The NFL needs to just get over it and reinstate Michael Vick.

I couldn’t agree more that the NFL should reinstate Michael Vick. Bottom line: it is more likely than not that his time in prison made him reevaluate his dog fighting hobby and he probably can now do without it–if you will. Not only has be definitely paid his debt to society, he also has probably changed for the better and is remorseful. He should be entitled to have a chance at his chosen profession.
