I am a firm believer in second chances if the person is truely sorry for what he/she did. However the thing is how do we know if a person is sorry for the crimes he/she committed or if they are just saying all the right things to appease the public. Fact is we will never know if Vick is sorry for what he did. The higher power is the only one who will know for sure. With that being said Vick can try and prove to people that he really gets it by charity work and putting in effort to make people aware of animal abuse and helping to end it. We've all made mistakes in our lives (some worse than others) but it's how you rise above and learn from those mistakes and what you make of yourself afterwards. It's all up to Vick how he handles it. By playing good football it doesn't atone for what he did. It's what he does outside of football as a man.

In Response to Re: THOUGHTS ON THE REDEMPTION OF MICHAEL VICK.... ON RIGHT TRACK?:In Response to Re: THOUGHTS ON THE REDEMPTION OF MICHAEL VICK.... ON RIGHT TRACK? : I want to make this a racial issue? I was very clear in what I said. Does this sound familiar: "He should be shot and left for dead. Actually, hanging him from a tree like he did to the dogs is just punishment. Second chances...ask that to all the victims of criminals who recommit crimes considering recidivism is pretty high." Those are your words 4Adam13. Your words! YOU want to hang a black man from a tree. You felt comfortable going to Boston dot com in this day and age and posting that for all the world to see. I've disagreed with a fair amount of people here, but no one has crossed that line.

Once again, you are the one bringing race into this. All I said was Vick deserves the same treatment that he gave to the dogs. YOU, YOU, YOU are the one making racial remarks. I could care less if the guy is white, black, purple, yellow, green, or blue. They all deserve the same treatment if they treat an animal or person like that. Plain and simple.
Keep bringing up your crutch Paob. Keep playing the race card. You are the one making that an issue. For me, I could care less what his race is. Bill Cosby was right.....race is still an issue today because people continue to want to use it for an excuse.
This isn't a white or black thing Paob. It is a right and wrong thing. I've said my piece. You can hop back on your racial horse to satisfy your point of view.

By the way......after all that... I'm a black man who grew up in Roxbury on Seaver St. You know where that is Paob? Probably not.
Get back on your horse.
