Today's Big Question -- Michael Vick

The big question today seems to be whether Michael Vick should be allowed to play football in the NFL again.  Of course he should, if he's good enough to make a team.  He served his time, took his punishment, now he should be given a chance to make good at his chosen profession, just like anyone else.  I can't help but feel that there would be no questions asked if he were a ditch digger or a farmer or even a banker.  He would be allowed to get on with his life and try to make it as good a life as possible.  

I do feel that he should never be voted in to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, even if he were the best quarterback in the history of the sport.  Maybe the Hall of Fame already has a rule about accepting no one if they are a convicted felon; if not they should have one, as should the Baseball Hall of Fame, etc.

Just for the record, I am very much a dog person, having grown up at dog shows and having dogs share my home for most of my life.  And Dog Town (where Vick's dogs were rehabilitated) seems to be a wonderful organization.  Just don't get me started on pet store puppies or designer dogs!

  1. well - I agree in theory - but I would not want him on the Cleveland Browns - I don't want to root from him.
