What everyone fails to realize is that while we all may deserve a second chance in life, why does it have to be the NFL? I have worked with homeless and criminals getting their lives back in order and they struggle to get a basic job due to their criminal record. Yet everyone says Michael Vick should be allowed to play in the NFL again. I disagree, while second chances are a part of our forgiving nature, certain rights and privileges are just that, privileges. We do not deserve the right to play and receives millions and be careless and care free. Michael Vick's actions where heartless and inhumane. He deserves the right to work, but to say that he should play in the NFL and receive millions is not the correct justification. We earn forgiveness which takes time and Michael Vick should not be given a jersey because he went to jail and served a sentence given by the courts. He lied to the American public and used his position to influence and show just how arrogant he can be. A second chance at being a productive member of society yes, but a million dollar football player, I would have to say NO.
