Statists vs. Michael Vick
Listening to this nitwit Monte on ESPN Sports Radio fills me with disgust. His program today is devoted to sanctimonious moralizing about the evil that Vick did and how he is not sufficiently contrite to warrant admission back in the NFL. Apparently, Monte feels that an additional one year NFL suspension, on top of the 2 year suspension Vick has already endured during trial and incarceration, might just be enough to satisfy his bloodlust. Why is this issue so important to Monte and many of his sychophant callers? If Vick has paid his price legally, should he not be allowed to resume a career? To Monte and his illogical band of followers, Vick's apologies appear 'insincere' so they want NFL commissioner Roger Goodell to throw the book at him for the crime of 'insufficient groveling'. Who are these moralizers who would deny a man a right to resume his craft after he has paid his debt to society? I understand that the NFL wants to maintain a high standard of personal conduct. Nothing wrong with that - but as long as Goodell is satisfied with the way Vick has conducted himself in personal meetings before, during and after his incarceration - then why isn't that good enough for the busybodies who are still angry at Vick for being a 'bad' guy? I'm certainly not apologizing for Vick or his actions, but he's already paid a great price in loss of income, loss of freedom and loss of status and respect. That's good enough for me. Now go play some football Michael Vick.
