Enough already . . . Give Vick a 2nd chance you hypocrites!!!!!

What kind of crazy, skewed morality do we subscribe to when NFL players are regulary suspended for a game or two as a result of domestic violence, yet people question whether Vick should be reinstated after serving a 23 month sentence for dog fighting!!! I am sorry, but I think his prison sentence was way too harsh to begin with, but now that he has paid his debt to society, he should be given a second chance without question. 23 months of his life for running a dog fighting ring. Drug trafficers, manslaughter offenders and pimps get shorter sentences than that. Does anyone really believe that if I were charged and convicted with that same crime, that I wouldn't get off with probation? But I am not a nationally known star who earns $100 million by throwing a ball and playing a game, which easily incites a spiteful envy amongst middle class Americans. Furthermore, it would be hard for PETA to boycott Radius Church's sole sponsor - God.
Tony Dungy, former Colt's coach and a fellow believer, is exactly right on this one. EVERYONE deserves a second chance . . . and I want to talk to the high school and collegiate friends of anyone out there that thinks Vick doesn't deserve a second chance. I would be willing to bet that if I looked long and hard, I would find that they, themselves, had been granted a ton of second chances in life. I know I have! Shame on those hippocrits who are stingy with their second chances - second chances are the stuff of life!

If you pled guilty under RICO, my guess is you would not get probation. I actually agree Vick deserves a second chance on the merits (but not a third chance I suppose?), but name-calling and labeling everyone a hypocrite seems counterproductive and just as hysterical as the people you are labeling. One might even say that would be hypocritical. The class warfare was a nice touch though. I'm glad the rich and the poor don't have an opinion on Michael Vick.
