Michael Vick is Back

Michael Vick previously quaterback for the Falcons was sentenced to serve an 18 month sentence in prison for dog fighting. His time is finally up and he has been reinstated into the nfl, but is this something he actually deserves? Vicks crimes seem to be forgotten now that he has returned to the nfl playing for the Phillidelphia Eagles. Should he be denied the right to play in the nfl? No not at all. Can we really blame him for what he has done. I mean Vick is a professional football player what does he have for entertainment? We all have professional sports to watch, but that is his profession and so what can he do in his spare time. He picked this dog fighting as his form of entertainment. This is a very corrupt form of entertainment, but what do we expect a millionair athlete to do with his free time. The stereotypes of professional athletes are that they buy expensive things and workout doing little else. This life obviously got old and so Vick decided to try something new. Vick thought that maybe, just maybe because he was so good at football and the respect that people had for him, he could live above the law, but a realization came to him hard and fast when he got caught and that is that no one can live above the law. I believe his stay in prison has humbled him a great deal and helped him to realize that he is not untouchable, he is simply a nfl quaterback which brings us back to the question: Should Michael Vick be allowed to play in the nfl? Absolutly, Michael Vick is an unbelievable athlete. His talents are what god has given him in this life and he should utalize what he has. He has done this by signing a year contract with the Eagles for $1.6 million with the option for two years at $5.6 million. What has to be realized by the people is that Vick is good at what he does. He can bring crouds, win football games and resultantly help rake in the money. This is a world run by money and as long as the money is being made, the big nfl owners don't care who does it, no matter their past.
