I can't totally agree with the article. I DO agree that I don't want Vick on this team. I DO agree that there is less than .0000001% chance that Parcells would bring him on board after drafting White. But with all that said if something happened that brought Vick to the fins I would try to pull for him. I wouldn't hope he got hurt.
Those dogs were brought up in an enviroment of violence and pain. They were killers that were taught to kill or be killed. Then when they were not the best of the best, and not good enough to kill those around them, their life of violence ended the way it started. They never got the chance to feel the love, respect, and companionship that could have came from a decent human owner. Thats sad, it's beyond sad, it's legally criminal. For what Vick did he should have been punished, and he was. Was it long enough or tough enough, I don't know. But I am willing to see if the system works.
Like those dogs, Vick was brought in to a world of unkind, and violent people. To a degree he wasn't shown the love from those around him as a youth that many of us got to feel. Neither you nor I really know what he went through but I am sure I have no desire to change my youthful memories for his. I am in no way, making an excuse for his actions, but like those dogs deserved love and deserved a chance to be changed back into a companion, I think Vick too deserves another chance, rather than being thrown onto the trash heep. To say I hope to see him get his leg broke or injured is putting me on his level. I hope I never sit around and wish ill to befall anyone.
I wish Vick the best and hope he has learned from his mistakes. I hope he gets his life turned around and finds joy and happiness. Not because he is a football player, but because he is a creation of God, like we all are. He made a terrible mistake that caused much pain, both mentally and physically, but we all deserve a 2nd chance. I for one hope it isn't in Miami, but if it was I would be able to put what I know of his past behind him and pull for who I hope he had turned into.
