Michael Vick: Eagles QB Deserves to Be Most Disliked NFL Player

No player in the NFL draws more controversy from just walking onto a field than Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick, and he deserves the attitude.

Forbes has named Michael Vick the most disliked player in the NFL by fans, with 60 percent of all recorded fans disliking the star.

Whether it’s because of the Miami Heat-like Philadelphia Eagles team this season or because of the dog fighting charges he went to jail and served time for, fans still generally don’t like Vick.

Most hardcore fans may not have forgiven him, but they can certainly respect second chances and Vick has done nothing but help his community since his release from prison.

While those fans still think Vick has changed, there are a vast majority of casual fans that feel Vick shouldn’t be heralded as anything more than a common criminal.

The truth is that people should fall somewhere in the middle on this issue, and I still feel that’s the way Vick has been treated.

Everyone knows what he did was wrong and detestable, but he went to jail and served his time.

Since his arrival back into society, Vick has been an advocate for anything and everything and he seems to have changed.

As Americans, it’s our right to hold grudges and what Vick did is for many people, a grudge-worthy act.

What we can’t forget is that is our rights as Americans to have second chances after we pay our debt to society.

While Vick deserves the dislike, he also deserves the second chance.
