End the Vick-Timization.. Let Vick Return in Peace

But at the end of the day, everybody is in shock and awe at Michael Vick?!

This just pisses me off.  Where do we as fans get off judging this one man when he is surrounded by behavior that is just as shameful?

I already know what people are going to say.  "Its different, he was hurting defenseless animals." Or maybe they will say "He killed more animals than we even know about, which is way worse than drug abuse."

Well you know what else?!  He also apologized and spent time incarcerated.  How many of these other players have spent the time Vick did in jail?  None!  Even when the entire Bengals roster got locked up, they didn't even combine for the amount of time that Vick spent in prison.

But for some reason that's not good enough and that is just wrong.  Especially when the majority of these loud mouth fans, who are judging him, are just one urine test away from the unemployment office.

People need to get over this whole "sports is sacred ideology."  Sports is not sacred anymore.  Between the drug abuse, DUIs, and domestic violence alone, the world have sports has more than shown its corruption.  I'm sorry, but when a pitcher is sitting in front of the U.S. congress, its time to just say game over.

But for some reason people still view sports as the untarnished virgin princess that should never be corrupted when in reality the world of sports holds about as much integrity as the average Vegas street-walker.

So it makes no sense for people to hold so much of a grudge against Michael Vick.  Had drug abuse been punished by season long suspension on every offense, maybe. Had Ray Lewis lost his contact for killing people, maybe. Had each instance of domestic violence resulted in multiple game suspensions and levied fines, maybe. Had Belichick been kicked out of the NFL for cheating, maybe.  If baseball wasn't filled with cases of steroid abuse, maybe.

But baseball is filled with steroids and nothing is done about the numerous offenses and abuses by players every single year.
