Don't Try Suicide: Michael Vick sports third rail.

Well NFL commissioner Roger Goodell decided today the Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick can return in week three of this season. I am sure that the sports message boards are going crazy right now with Vick supporters and haters waging war with one another. The calls of racism won't be far behind and then the less than clever insults will start flying and absolutely nothing will be accomplished. I will probably alienate at least half of my readers, and when you only have four followers that is a dangerous proposition, but I think it is time for Vick to come back to the NFL. I know, I know that he did some awful things with dogs and some people will never forgive him and I understand that to a point. I do sometimes feel that people are more outraged because Vick's misdeeds involved dogs than they would be if they involved people. It just might be time to let the guy get on with his life and maybe use him as part anti animal cruelty campaign. We as a society are usually very forgiving and maybe we should do that for Vick now. Please remember though I said forgive not forget. If you have comments to make please make them just try to make them constructive.
