I'm glad to see Vick back in NFL. Everyone deserves a second chance, but he has to show that he has changed, matured and learned from his mistakes. I also think there is a lot of double standard here, but whatever. He is back in NFL and has paid his debts, and now deserves a chance to earn for his family, kids and himself.
Good luck to him.
Everyone deserves a second chance at a free life. I don't agree that he's entitled to a 2nd chance in the NFL. Personally I wish the NFL adapts a rule banning anyone whose convicted of a felony while in the league for life.
If a team is willing to sign a convicted felon, then why make such a rule. In many cities, one can get felony for stealing play-station 3.
Let the teams decide if they want a felon or not. I believe a team can be the best judge to know if the felon has changed and has/can become a fine man, since they are ones interviewing and talking to him. If they think signing him is in the best interest of their team, then let them.
