Heck, even Ray Lewis was involved (and got acquitted) in a shooting that I believed ended up with someone dead. I'm not justifying what Vick did, he deserved to go to jail, have his career ruined, and lose all his money. Now if he wants to return to the NFL, and the league lets him, so be it.

Great points. I don't think Vick should be banned forever. I also don't think he should be free from judgement and criticism just becuase he "paid his debt to society," but people have done worse and still played in the NFL.

He's already (deservedly so) had his life shit on - both financially and personally. If he's fortuante enough to be given another chance to earn a living at his profession, then good for him. The legal system will have worked - prosecuted, jailed, rehabilitated, and released back into the public to return to working for a living. I still think the guy is a d-bag, but just because most of us don't like him doesn't mean he doesn't deserve a second chance.
