Well, many players have been charged with spousal abuse, drug abuse, attempted murder, gang affiliation and the like over the years.
Again, Vick did a horrible thing by torturing then killing animals. I don't disagree. But he did his time.
At what point do allow ex-cons the opportunity to get on with their lives?
His jail time was for his criminal offense. He was also indefinitely banned from the NFL upon his criminal conviction, which was concurrent to the jail time.
Now I believe he's answering to the NFL's separate issues - lying to the Commissioner and his team & owner about his involvment in those activity.
Different from his jail time.
