Vick's Return

Michael Vick has been reviled for the past three years as a monster for his participation in a dogfighting conspiracy.

He was sentenced to 23 months in federal prison and was allowed to finish the final few months under house arrest.

He has served his time and came back to the NFL that had shunned him not two years earlier. He is having an MVP-caliber season for his new team, the Philadelphia Eagles, and is trying to do all of the right things to become a productive member of society.

Now, I am in no way condoning his heinous acts of animal cruelty, but I believe in second chances. He has been incredibly humble throughout his return and is tirelessly working to raise awareness against animal cruelty. He has continued to work with humane societies and children's charities to promote his cause and seems to be genuine in his attempts. Hopefully he can continue his crusade and turn this disaster into something positive.
