Michael Vick Released

So he gets out today.  He has paid his dues  and has suffered enough in terms of career, emotion, and family.  Thus, in my opinion, all those haters should stop hating on him.

I mean, I think it would be awesome for him to have his shot at redemption and write the story of the greatest comeback ever in sports history.  Such stories of fallen stars have inspired many.  But it is his decision and the decision of the NFL.

We forgive not to condone the crimes committed but to stop the cycle of hatred and move on.  The dogs are dead for 2 years now and they are not coming back.  But right now, a human life fights to earn his freedom and reintegration back into society.  Depriving him to a life of poverty (he has long since accumulated a substantial amount of financial debt) is uncivilized.

I mean - we'll be setting a double standard by dogging on him when other NFL players have killed other humans (DUI's and say... murder!?) and are still allowed to play.

All those PETA bandwagoners want Vick's head scanned for "violence" or even his head on a platter.  Remember, PETA jumped on President Obama for swatting a fly.  And their ad campaign seems to respect animals more than women.  So maybe it's not Vick's head that needs to be checked.

And to all those red herrings playing the race card, it's totally ignorant and irrelevant in this day and age - this video does a good job of satiring the issue:
