How in this world can anyone justify his salary based on how he enhanced his living.His PR team has him covered like jelly. Just remember when you are sitting in your living room during football season, and stand up and yell, "Way To Go, Vick"..you are sending a message to animal rights folks like me...some of whom carried the dying bodies of those dogs from their cages broken, bloody, and dead. And to thousands of kids who know what he did. To make him a hero is to dance with the devil, IMHO. Like many other major sports, its leaders have
momentum, but no heart. Hiring him 'back' is a dangerous message, cheering for him even worse.
Sounds pretty harsh. Do you have some kind of inside information that he is still the same man? Do you think it is right to judge him so severely?
