What Michael Vick did was morally reprehensible and heinous. He is being punished according to the legal system we all are both protected by and rely on. He will serve his time in jail for the prescribed amount decreed by the judge, but after that, he is free to be gainfully employed anyway he is able. Would it be a PR nightmare for any team to sign him, of course, but he has every right to pursue a football career after he serves his time. I dont understand why people are so riled up about his being able to earn a living, there are plenty of ex-cons who served their time in jail and are now in the labor force.

To be perfectly clear, I am supporting our legal system and the rights of our citizens to pursue a life after they have paid their debt, I am not condoning Michael Vicks' behavior in any way, shape or form.
