I was disgusted to read that Mike Vick was going to play professional football again. To me he is worse than a dog. He think he really should be be banned from the human race.
A penalty of 2 years in prison is neither beneficial to him, society, or the dogs. 50% of his income for a certain amount of time should have gone to the SPCA, PETA, and dog rescue groups.
What are you, some kind of communist? Didn't you get the memo that as long as you're a sports dude, an actor, a musician, a politician or just plain filthy stinkin' rich, you get a free pass?
There is no irony. You're talking about two very different things. Pete Rose bet on his own team, both as a player and manager. Vicks crime had nothing to do with football. Had Vick bet on football he likely would be banned also.
Your argument is with the baseball and football commissioners, Haveaheart, they are the ones that make those calls. One said no, the other said yes. I do agree with both assessments .
