I am sort of surprised by the other comments. I used this to teach my kids about how doing things that you know are wrong (like cruelty to animals) can ruin a great career even if you are really good at your job. I think the NFL made an error letting Vick back in. He wasn't committing a crime out of desperation, he already had millions of dollars. I think he deserves to be banned. I am a huge NFL fan and I am disappointed in the decision largely because I think it sets a terrible example for children. .-= Sarah, Goon Squad Sarah´s last blog ..Evil Twins? =-.

Yes, Vick deserves a second chance. Anyone who pays his debt to society deserves as much. .-= dadshouse´s last blog ..Funny Surf Shop Story =-.

I've used this as a way to teach my kids how people judge you, even after you have paid your debt to society. The man made a mistake & spent 2 years in jail. We don't have to be friends with him, just let me try to live his life. .-= Eathan´s last blog ..I Experienced Condom Trouble =-.
