I may also be viewing it with bias as I watch corruption infiltradtw our society and standards being lowered and excepted. But in a sport were there are fines for celebrating in the endzone after making a touchdown because it taunts and disrespects. Where do we draw the line?

Dexter Manley was banned from ever returning to the NFL because of drug use on himself. I could argue I'd rather have a guy with a drug problem play than a animal killer.

There needs to be standards thats all im saying. Vick went to college I didn't. I'm doing ok living paycheck to paycheck. Raising 4 kids in an apartment. I used to make over 100k a year before a brain injury. Things happen. Society ows us nothing. You can still work construction as a past felon. He'll be fine. If he chooses too. He probably will get back in the NFL anyway. If he does, good for him.

I just don't think those of us that dont want him should be called dumbass. Post#2. Other than that I respect his opinion

Agreed. Which is why I said everyones values are different. Cause I don't think everyone who thinks he needs to be banned is a dumbass either or should be called that. But I do believe when it comes to sports/Entertainment we need to lighten up a little. If we were talking federal gov. I would agree whole heartedly he needs to be banned but from a sport perspective....it's only a sport. nothing more.
