Yeah, you are 100% correct about this. If they let that guy back in the league, Mike Vick ought to be back in. Oh wait, I forgot... Ray Lewis
wasn't convicted
in the Gold Club shooting. Not to mention it happened before the current Player Conduct policy, not to mention it was a
different ****ing commissioner
.
Personally, I don't care about his dogfighting crap. I don't care about punishing him further for the crime he's served jail time for (personally, I think he should've been in jail longer for the tax evasion, but that's the justice department's business.) If he's able to play, and a team is willing to sign him, he ought to be reinstated.
However, I think every single goddamned dime he stole from the Atlanta Falcons and the city of Atlanta ought to be repaid in his contract before he sees any of it. There are millions of dollars unrecouped, not just in his salary and bonuses, but in marketing, merchandise, etc. That son of a bitch got to declare bankruptcy and walk away from all of it. **** him.
Let him go play for the Raiders (good work, Al Davis, how dumb do you feel after that Heyward-Bay draft now?) Al Davis ought to be writing checks directly to Arthur Blank, all of the merchandising companies and retailers, and the Atlanta Falcons fans.
