This whole argument is nasty and in some respects, Un-American. I hate what Vick did, and I'd never shake his hand or root for his team, or do him a single favor. But he was convicted under our justice system and paid the price the system demanded. Now some people think he has no right to resume his career and be paid for it? Sorry, that's not the way I want my country to operate. You can dislike him (as I do), but you have no right to deny him the rights we all have under our constitution. Boo him louldly when he plays, but you can't deny him his profession. Now let me quickly get out of the way of the spears that are now flying my way . . . .
