You sound real stupid, i hope your'e like 8 yrs old.....
All i did was state my OPINION, you dont like it oh well who cares....You dont have to agree with me....
The commish can do w/e he wants now, SHUT UP its the NFL not a dictatorship...
And where did i say i want somebody to feel sorry for VICK??? Oh wait, i didnt........ Again you sound STUPID....

an additional 4 games is more than excessive..

Quit saying this... all of you.
The NFL is a business.... A BUSINESS.... A FREAKING BILLION DOLLARBUSINESS!!!!!!!!!
Why is this so hard to understand? Yes, it's a small business in a sense.... it's employees make a ton of money, but it's employees are alsoit's product so even moreso, they need to be handled especially carefully.
Why would it run any differently than any other extremely successful company? At the end of the day, every decision they make with the NFL is an effort topromote the product and increase their bottom line.
Quit lying to yourself like it's anything besides this.
why shouldn't he be given another opportunity to be a productive, gainfully employed member of society? to take care of his family in a legal effort? "oh the NFL is a privilege" blah blah blah. the NFL, NCAA, and endorsement companies make more off of these guys than they will ever make. It's not a "privilege" it's a "job" just like any other job. Employers hire the most qualified candidates. Plenty of felons have jobs. No one thought Martha Stewart shouldn't be able to do her talk show (which I love btw) after she went to prison.
Nobody is saying Vick can't go down to the 7-11 and get a job. You're talking like he has some kind of legal right to his old job as anNFL quarterback, and he does not. He blew that chance, and he's lucky to be allowed back in for a chance at reclaiming it.
Care to name me a few companies as successful as the NFL that make it a habit of re-hiring people who get fired for going to jail? It's easy enough tosay, but can you actually name me some? Not just that - how about ones that are publicly known, featuring a well-known face from said company? It rarelyhappens, and for good reason.
Nobody is in here saying Vick shouldn't be let out of prison, or even banned from the NFL - but everyone who thinks he should be handed back everything hehad before, along with a written apology from Goodell and great praise from everybody around the world because he "served his debt" is out of theirmind, and really just do not get it.
Yes, you serve your time and you pay your debt - that doesn't mean you are all of a sudden clean again. Once a convict, always a convict. Millions ofpeople don't goto jail, so employers don't have to hire those that do. Sound unfair? Maybe try not going to jail.
normally i would agree that 4 games isn't that bad, but its the fact that Vick can't even practice for those 4 games that makes thepunishment OD.

Can someone please answer this... Considering NFL superstar players are in the spotlight, why in the hell do you think this helps Vick's case? You have more responsibility when you are in the spotlight, there is MUCH smaller room for error compared to regular 9-5 workers. So why do people who don't support the 4 game suspension think this justifies his case? Your way of thinking is BACKWARDS as hell.Originally Posted by MayhemMonkey000

I was being sarcastic, it obviously can't be based on either.
Like I said - the way you guys are acting is just shocking... no wonder society sucks. You have people trying to tell me that ex-convicts are on the same level as people who never went to jail..
so because someone goes to jail that makes them a bad person? Martha Stewart is evil because she spent time in prison? Hell Nelson Mandela spent several yearsin prison, is he the bane of society?
someone who has never been is automatically a good person? people commit crimes every day and do not get caught. you ever speed or jaywalk or do anything elseillegal? I'm sure you have.
he was convicted of conspiracy. the seriousness charge is moreso about the money.
you're clearly not an animal activist because you were talking about how chicken fights are not a big deal. so you're just extra judgmental for whatreason?
swag ... case closed
In that case Rod Tidwell > Your favorite receiver.
