Yeah, that's why I posted in here. Fear of public opinion vs. how poorly your team's already filling stadium seats is gonna determine whether or not Vick gets his 2nd chance at the NFL. Public opinion really matters, so it's worth arguing about.
But, if the NFL doesn't give Vick another Jersey, I'm gonna have to do something. I'll go start one of those online petitions where people have to click to say they believe in 2nd chances. That oughtta be plenty to start a back lash against the NFL for not giving a worthy man a 2nd chance!
And, no doubt that's why Vick is working with the Humane Society. It gives any franchise a story to support why they took him back. That, and from reading a couple of letters Vick sent to the judge, it already sounded like he started to realize the intensity of his fuck-up before he went in. 2 years of washing the mushed up scraps and saliva off Leavenworth inmates' dishes later...
