Michael Vick gets a second chance with the Philadelphia Eagles. AWESOME!
Ths is an opportunity for Vick to quiet the nasty, ugly, negative and mean-spirited, oh, and yes HYPOCRITICAL folks who continue to place the entire game of dog-fighting on one man's shoulders. Folks say they haven't seen a change yet. Well, I would love to know how Vick can go about "showing" folks that he has changed, if he is not given the opportunities to do the things he needs to do in order for change to happen and be evident.
Playing football affords him the opportunity to work and provide for his family. Touring with the Humane Society helps to share his story about why it was wrong to participate in dog-fighting and to get others to literally learn from his mistake.
You have players and regular people who have killed PEOPLE, abused PEOPLE, cheated on PEOPLE and they have been allowed to get a "second chance". WHY NOT VICK?
Please people of the critical and hypocritical world...please share why Vick should not be given a second chance. And, give me real points and not emotional rhetoric. It's tired and not productive.
I don't want to make assumptions as to why folks HATE Vick so much. So, again, give me some real points. I love dogs too. So, let that point rest. Talk to me about who and why a person should or should not be given a "second chance" to make right of their wrongs and become a better citizen. How do we go about determining who gets tarred and feathered and who does not?
A quote from a long-time friend, colleague of Vick's and MWPR Client Retired NFL Safety Keion Carpenter says, "I think its a great situation for Mike being with a good organization and a great quarterback in McNabb. He can teach Mike so much on and of the field. There's no pressure on him to come in and play, Mike can rather work on getting back in the mix of just playing. Philly fans are getting not only a great player but an even better person. GO EAGLES!"
