So because someone has skewed morals they shouldn't be able to get a job? C'mon. I despise what Vick did...I'm a huge animal lover and it sickens me...however what does that have to do with football or a profession? Would it be any less sickening if a construction worker did it? It's OUR fault we put professional athletes on such a high pedestal, not theirs. At the end of the day they're human just like the "every day guy". If a team wants to take a chance on him all the power to them.

Granted, Vick could never work again and still live in comfort but maybe people need to see the attitude shown towards people who made some mistakes....and people wonder why there are re-offenders. No one wants to give them a chance.

I'm in no way condoning what Vick did, I personally would love to see a pit bull bite his nuts off but the fact is he's human, he made a mistake. He's NO different than Joe-Schmo who is trying to find work after having a brush with the law. "WE" put these athletes on a pedestal, that's not their fault.
