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

So whats adding dog fighting to the laundry list of offenses going to do?

NOTHING!

He served his time and paid a debt to society that most other offenders never do.  He may not be the role model that kids should look up to, but then again, neither are any of these other people I mention.  But the difference is they still get to play.

Like I said, if there was some consistency in the repercussions that reflected such a no-tolerance mentality, then people's feelings towards Vick would make sense.

But as long as the world of sports wants to give everybody 10 chances, then Michael Vick should be no different.

Singling out Michael Vick is hypocritical and pointless.  All it will do is ruin one mans career and make no step towards making sports an honorable entity again.

At the end of the day, Vick is part of a bigger picture and until you tackle every case with the same ferocity that people want to bring on Vick, then you are wasting your time.

Bottom line is GET OVER IT!  Give him a chance to prove that he has indeed changed or learned a lesson.

Remember, Paris Hilton only spent one month in minimum security lock up and there hasn't been one crotch shot since.  Perhaps, Michael Vick too has learned a great lesson about life and is ready to set a better example.  Who knows, he might turn his entire life around and prove himself to be the Robert Downey Jr. of the NFL.

Personally, I hope that my New York Jets pick him up.  There isn't a lot of wilderness in New York and New Jersey so it will be hard for him to get away with dog fighting already and at the end of the day, love him or hate him, Michael Vick is a great athlete and brings a lot to the NFL.
