Michael Vick: From Felon to MVP?

After spending twenty-three months in sovereign custody, losing a 10-year, $130 million contract, filing for failure protection, as well as trashing his repute as a highest-paid, most earnest quarterback in a NFL, Michael Vick is ready to retrieve his in front of as an MVP contender. But should he be allowed a event to try?

Nearly 40% of convicted felons serving time have been arrested as well as sent at a back of behind bars within 3 years of their parole. Once convicted of a felony, parolees often serve their judgment for a rest of their lives due to few chances at gainful employment. Vick, upon a alternative hand, stands to climb from a ashes of a transgression conviction as well as return to super stardom. Thats a single ruin of a come-from-behind story, but a single without a hero.

After reading about Vicks participation in a killing of under-performing dogs by shooting, drowning, or hanging, theres nothing that could set free his actions in my mind. The best that he can goal for is to go on to compensate with his talents as well as actively work to forestall animal cruelty. Hes creation all a right overtures. we am just not assured of his sincerity.

Vick is now vocalization to young group as well as women in civic areas to urge them not to be similar to him. Hes also operative with a Humane Society of a United States End Dogfighting campaign. The Philadelphia Eagles, Vicks current employer, launched Treating Animals With Kindness as well as donated $50,000 to HSUS. Vick has not made any financial donations personally, maybe its because he still owes income due to filing for bankruptcy.

For dogs, a bleak future

Unlike Vick, a canine victims go on to really suffer. While a little have been successfully completing rehabilitation programs, a harsh being is that a little of these dogs will never be adop! ted, as well as will go on to humour a affects of abuse years later.

For all of this, a Philadelphia Eagles as well as NFL go on to allow Vick to make amends for his transgressions. The fans uncover an uncanny capability to apart a contestant from a man by filling those seats as well as seeking brazen to another win over a Washington Redskins. As long as hes getting 6 touchdowns a game, Vick will go on to be a MVP a NFL loves to hate.

It makes me consternation what would occur if Vick started under-performing. Would he go a way of Vince Young, whose thumb damage as well as attitude competence just get him fired?
