I expect he would have something to do with football. Maybe you would like for it to be at the high school level to influence our youth.

There's your problem, you think government or society can change an individual's mind-set. It rarely happens, that's why the recidivism rate for criminals is so high. Vick may not fight dogs again, but it will have nothing to do with some animal-sensitivity training or counseling. It will be because of the punishment and losses he took.

No one is saying Vick shouldn't be allowed to hold a job, he just shouldn't be re-instated to the NFL. There are several other football leagues he could try out for, CFL, AFL, etc. He has college credits on his resume, not sure what he majored in, maybe he could go out and get a job like the rest of us.
