Vick Conditionally Reinstated Just Or Unjust?

After being relaesed from federal custody on July 20, Mike Vick was considered a free man as far as the Justice System was concerned. However this is not the case for the NFL and Commissioner Roger Goodell. Goodell decided that Vick showed enough remorse to be conditionally reinstated but not cleared to play until week six of the 2009 season.

Vick is allowed to go to a training camp, practice, and play in the final two preseason games but will not be able to be on the field until week six in the regular season. As of now, Vick can only practice for this period of time until Goodell feels satisfied in Vick's actions on and off the field.

Is this an injustice to Mike Vick? How can Goodell hold Vick accountable further than the United States Justice System deemed to be necesarry? Should Vick be able to play week one or not?

All of these questions while good and relevant hold no water as of now in the negotiation for Vick to be fully reinstated. Even though many are calling the six game semi suspension uncalled for and harsh, Vick needs to prove that he can play football and be around his career again without being tempted to make mistakes.

Mike Vick needs to stay clean, keep his up, and do his best to get into a camp and be a positive influence on the organization which takes a chance on him. Vick will be well worth any organizations time with his great abilities and uncharacteristic movement as a QB. Vick is a nightmare for defenses to gameplan for and will be a huge bonus on any roster as long as he can stay out of trouble.

Teams have not been overly eager to show interest as of yet but expect the teams to start expressing interest as NFL training camp approaches.
