probably true, but that is the difference between normal people and people in the spotlight. His job isn't contingent on being smart or having a good attitude. Its him being good at throwing a ball and running around. I say that because a company could argue that you made bad decisions to put you in this position, but for nfl athletes i don't feel that matters. No one cares that he is an idiot.
My second point is, i think it is wrong regardless. We don't know everything about this case so how can anyone punish someone that can be innocent. Do i think he is innocent? Hell no, but its the moral of the issue. Now, if this was to happen to us our bosses would know even less than we know about this case. We know as much as we do only because he is a star. Our bosses would know very little about the case than we know right now about vick and w/o all the info i think it is wrong to punish someone who may have done no wrong.
So i don't think he should be suspended. Now, do i want him to be suspended? I do, because i feel he had a strong part in this and i feel he will get off easier than I would if i had done it. I am playing judge and jury now but in the matter of what i want, it is for him to be suspended. It also makes my day more interesting but wanting someone to lose their job for my ammusement sounds really bad.
