Yesterday, NFL commissioner Robert Goodell “conditionally” reinstated former Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick to the NFL. However, although Mike can participate in spring training and play in the final 2 games of the Pre-Season, he still has to sit out for the first 5 games of regular season, and this is all assuming he is picked up by a team before the season begins. The question that everyone seems to have is “Is this fair?” My answer is “NO”. As a football fan and a human being, I am outraged at the superior attitude Mr. Goodell has decided to take. I am not condoning the actions of Michael Vick but what he did was wrong and he should have been punished and punished he was. The justice system punished him in accordance with the Federal Law and his sentence has been completed. I cannot and will not say this is an issue of race, but I will say it is appalling that the NFL commissioner has decided to bow to the pressure from PETA and other animal rights activists when justice has been served. When will his punishment end? The final word belongs to the Creator since the legal system has taken their appropriate action and the judgment should be his alone.
I wish Michael Vick luck, from what I can tell so far, he will need it.
