Guess Who's Back?

After serving real time for a real crime, Mike Vick is back in the league.

Michael Vick has been conditionally reinstated by NFL - NFL - SI.com

I am not convinced it is the NFL's job to punish people, on top of that punishment meted out by the courts. If the owners simply decide they don't want someone like him to work for them, that is their choice like any employer.

The NFL has a player code of conduct policy for every single player. This more than applies.

You don't think that being suspended for 2 seasons, forefeiting a multi-million dollar signing bonus, having a 10 year $130 mill contract nullified, and numerous multi-million dollar endorsement contracts cancelled isn't punishment enough?

What else could the League do to punish him?

How was he suspended? He was in jail???? Again, NFL code of conduct policy. I'm not saying what punishment his employer should levy. I'm just mentioning there is a code of conduct. If it doesn't apply to going to jail for a federal crime, that is fine, looks like the Bengals will be in good shape. Sets a precedent.

Arthur Blank erased his fortunes, not the NFL. And sponsors left him, not the NFL. Again, how exactly did the NFL punish him? By saying "hey you can't play while you're in jail"? This is all in the weeds though, the real 'education' on what society in the US values will be shown if/when Vick is hired and if/when people pay to watch.

Again reflects poorly on the NFL and their obvious lack of any morals...let's just hope the public doesn't allow him to get off as easy as they did

Yeah, the NFL has no morals at all. Perhaps some day they can aspire to have the high moral code of the NBA.

But seriously, it isn't high school. Pro sports is a business. Nothing more.
